Today we announced DaVinci Resolve 20.1 a major new update that adds support for Apple Immersive workflows, including support for Apple Spatial Audio, to DaVinci Resolve Studio for macOS. With this update you can effortlessly edit, color grade, add visual effects, mix Spatial Audio, and deliver Apple Immersive Video captured using the new Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera. A new immersive video viewer will let customers pan, tilt and roll clips for viewing on 2D monitors, or directly stream to Apple Vision Pro for an even more immersive editing experience.
The edit page lets you work with files from the URSA Cine Immersive camera just like any other 2D media, with the familiar drag and drop interface. You can even add a 360º backdrop track that can appear outside of the projected immersive image! When working with files from the URSA Cine Immersive on the color page, you get full use of primary color correction tools, along with select secondary grading tools. New tools in the 3D palette such as the Edge Mask let you adjust the field of view captured by the URSA Cine Immersive to exclude microphones or other items that are just in shot.
In Fusion, you can create 3D titles and broadcast graphics that leap across the field of view, or work with USD files for true Hollywood caliber effects in immersive video. Familiar tools like the patcher and distort tools are now updated to work seamlessly with immersive video. DaVinci Resolve is the world’s first editing software to be able to mix and master immersive Apple Spatial Audio Format (ASAF) soundtracks. Fairlight has fully integrated native operation with 1st to 7th order Ambisonic busses and tracks offering 64 channels of audio. The 3D panner view is enhanced for ASAF and lets you place sounds almost anywhere in 3D space including object position, orientation and room simulation.
For all DaVinci Resolve Studio users, this update adds support for AI Magic Mask 2 in Fusion, allowing you to click to select and track people, features and objects with far more accuracy. This makes it easier to apply your special effects, adjust settings and fine tune your animations to objects moving in the frame.
This update also includes improvements for all DaVinci Resolve users including an update to the keyframe panel to make animation faster and more intuitive. Easing behavior has been refined across multiple keyframes, ensuring smoother transitions and more consistent results in both the timeline and inspector. Curve visibility has been improved, letting you adjust curves directly from either the keyframes or curves tray. This makes it easier to fine tune keyframe and curve changes without switching views. Keyframes beyond clip edit points are now visible, making it easier to create extended animations. Plus, you can assign a shortcut to toggle between keyframe and curve views, and use the new vertical zoom slider for finer control in the curve editor.
There are also improvements to MultiText that make text formatting more intuitive and easier to use. You can now style individual characters or words with different fonts or colors. Additionally you can apply paragraph level styling to easily align text left, center, or right, and apply indents for cleaner formatting. You can also import CSV files directly, which will be automatically arranged into column aligned MultiText text boxes for easy formatting and layout.
