Love this tool and it just keeps getting better! Also the Blackmagic camera app for iPhone and Android!

Today we announced DaVinci Resolve 20.2, a major new update that adds support for support for immersive EXR workflows in DaVinci Resolve Studio. Blackmagic RAW clips from Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive can now be exported and imported using the EXR format and include video from both eyes as well as lens metadata. This means you can export immersive images from Davinci Resolve to Fusion Studio to create new compositions and then import these back into DaVinci Resolve Studio, maintaining quality and creating a smoother workflow.

For visual effects artists, there’s now also support for streaming immersive content from the Fusion page in DaVinci Resolve Studio directly into an Apple Vision Pro headset. This allows you to experience your Fusion compositing and other edits in a true immersive form, for real time review on how your content looks in an immersive space.

There are also improvements to track patching and ripple trim controls. The ripple edit selection tool on the edit page is now independent from the track auto selection, meaning that you can control the ripple on/off behavior for each track separately without affecting synced audio.

There are also improved MultiText alignment and transformation controls in Fusion. A new set of controls has been added to the layout tab that provide a quick way to reposition layers, snapping the edge of text to either the perimeter of the frame or the title safe margin. A new position and size control has also been added to MultiText that allows you to change the position and size of all the MultiText layers simultaneously, helping you move or scale all the text layers quickly and easily.

New support for previewing media in its original source aspect ratio allows the preview monitor in the media, cut and edit pages to display clips in the exact sizes and aspect ratio that they were captured. With this update, you can now see exactly how the footage was shot, without any stretching or cropping of the image.

This update also adds support for playing Apple ProRes RAW and Apple ProRes RAW HQ in DaVinci Resolve. For filmmakers, colorists and editors, this means you no longer need to transcode footage into other formats such as ProRes 422 before editing, saving you time and maintaining the original quality of the footage.

DaVinci Resolve 20.2 update is available now as a free download from http://bmd.link/WNRc7s

It is always a pleasure to provide camera support for the Korean War Veteran luncheon! KC Bertling organizes a wonderful event annually to honor and recognize our Korean War Veterans. Today was the 19th annual luncheon being held on the 75th anniversary of the start of the Korean War.

Collaborative concert filming. Cool.

Metal band KoЯn wanted fan content for their 30th anniversary concert documentary. KoЯn’s videographer, Sébastien Paquet set up a new workflow using the Blackmagic Camera app and Blackmagic Cloud to make it all happen.

“The KoЯn guys have always been technology savvy, so they immediately liked the Blackmagic Camera App to the Cloud idea for their fans. We had literally hundreds and hundreds of fans all wanting to be part of this project, and Blackmagic Camera app being synced to Blackmagic Cloud was the way to make it all happen.”

“To get the KoЯn fans working with Blackmagic Camera app and uploading their footage to my DaVinci project, all we sent them was a preset file for their phone. Using a camera preset guaranteed the same recording format and upload settings for everyone. And for timecode sync, all we needed was the time of day for each phone! Now if we had a bit more time, I could have used a QR code for the presets, which would have saved a lot of time.”

“The night of the concert was pretty much the first time this had ever been done! I don't know of any band or artist that has empowered 200 fans to film the band from their own perspective on their own devices. And then to be able to share the footage and include it as an official recap was priceless.”

“The fans’ content totalled 11 hours of footage, so I had lots of content to work with to bring this piece to life. It was challenging no question, but the fact that Blackmagic Cloud could support that much data seamlessly was very impressive. I could just scrub through it all instantly in the DaVinci Resolve project and there were hours of stuff for me to play with.”
