Stem separation, without leaving DaVinci Resolve

Most stem separators mean exporting your audio, running it through a separate app, then re-importing the results and hoping everything lines up. StemForge skips all of that. Open the panel from Workspace > Workflow Integrations, load a clip, and the stems land in your Media Pool.

StemForge for DaVinci Resolve requires DaVinci Resolve Studio 19 or newer. The free version of DaVinci Resolve cannot load Workflow Integration plugins, so it is not supported.
Illustration
Full mix
Illustration: a full mix separated into vocals, drums, bass and other stems, with guitar and piano in the 6-stem model. The stems change order and size to show parts of a track being isolated and rebalanced.

4-stem separation

Vocals, drums, bass, and other. This is the default model, built for speed. You can also choose a simple vocals and instrumental split.

6-stem separation

Adds guitar and piano as their own stems, for finer control when you need it. It runs slower than the 4-stem model.

Processed locally

Separation runs on your Mac through the StemForge desktop app. Your audio never leaves your computer.

Questions

How do I load audio?
Drag a file in from Finder, choose Browse, or load from your project. Media Pool Selection loads the clip selected in the Media Pool, using the whole file. Clip at Playhead loads the audio clip under the playhead, using only the part used on the timeline.
Where do the stems go?
Click Import and the results land in a StemForge bin in the Media Pool, with one sub-bin per song and the stems color-coded. The files are also saved in your Music > StemForge folder.
Why does the panel float above Resolve?
DaVinci Resolve does not allow third-party plugins to dock inside its own window, so the StemForge panel floats above it. You can drag it, resize it from its edges, and minimize it to a slim tab on the edge of the screen. The pin button turns floating on or off.
Does it work with the free version of DaVinci Resolve?
No. The free version of DaVinci Resolve cannot load Workflow Integration plugins, so StemForge requires DaVinci Resolve Studio 19 or newer.
Does it work with Premiere Pro?
Yes. One purchase includes the Premiere Pro plugin as a separate download. See stem separation for Premiere Pro.

Also need the tempo or key? See BPM and key detection for DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Using Premiere Pro instead? See stem separation for Premiere Pro.
