Blackmagic calls it 'smart features.' Things like the new Smart Indicator in the cut page, which works by estimating where the editor wants to add an edit or transition and then allowing it to be applied without the wasted time of placing in and out points on the exact locations of the clips. In general, the new software update improves on the intelligent features that Blackmagic introduced in version 16, creating faster ways to work in areas where the computer can actually help the user. Apart from the audio features described, the new version is focused mostly on the new cut page, which continues to evolve around Blackmagic's declared goal of making it 'the world’s fastest editor.' Finally, one the audio front, the company introduced support for displaying and persisting individual audio effect windows on top of other windows.Īs the large film studios that use DaVinci Resolve for most of the world’s feature films need to get their systems updated before the next programming season starts, this new public beta lets Blackmagic Design continue to develop new ideas without causing delays for the large studios who need a finished and well tested release of DaVinci Resolve.

There's also an improvement in performance when loading and switching timelines, when generating waveform profiles for nested timelines, and peak hold and decay behavior for meters in FairlightFX plugins. The audio user interface now also benefits of many improvements, such as support for clipping indicator for main buses on the Fairlight mixer, support for enabling extended bounce tail durations from the option menu for audio clips with reverb and other tail effects, support for customizing the tail duration threshold for reverb and other tail effects, and support for automatically enabling Insert In for an audio track when manually patching track inputs. The new public beta allows the Australian company to continue development of the software, announcing among many other improvements the support for 96 KHz and 192 KHz sample rates at a project level for DaVinci Resolve Studio.
