Just over a week has passed since the last 
update 18.0.2 of Blackmagic's free grading, editing, compositing and audio mastering program DaVinci Resolve (Studio) and already there is a new update. Number three (18.0.3) also (like the two before it) focuses entirely on cleaning up some bugs, in addition to the usual general performance and stability improvements. For example, it fixes issues with USB-C connectivity with Fairlight Desktop consoles, rendering clips without color nodes, IMF rendering, and deleting empty tracks in imported AAF timelines.

Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 18.
Blackmagic notes that installing DaVinci Resolve 18 (and newer versions) requires upgrading the project library from all versions prior to 18.0b5. Blackmagic therefore recommends backing up the existing database (both DiskDB and PostgreSQL) and then restoring that database for the upgrade before upgrading to this version. However, once the Project Library is upgraded to 18, this library cannot be used in earlier versions of DaVinci Resolve.
