Just a month ago, Blackmagic released update 20.2.1, which optimized immersive workflows and compatibility with ProRes RAW and Sony ARW – now the next, slightly smaller installment is already here. The new DaVinci Resolve 20.2.2 brings improved color display on Mac and addresses a range of issues, particularly on the Fairlight and Edit pages. This update should therefore be highly recommended for all users of Resolve 20.2.1.
Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 20.2.2 improves color management
An important improvement affects Mac users: Viewer color management for the Rec.709 standard has been enhanced, which should lead to a more precise and reliable color display. Additionally, on the Fairlight page, issues with choppy playback that could occasionally occur have been resolved.
Furthermore, the new version prevents trim edits from sometimes removing linked audio and ripple deletions from occasionally unlinking clips. In addition, the AI function "IntelliScript" now also works with multicam clips, which facilitates text creation from audio transcripts in more complex projects.
Other under-the-hood improvements include: The "Apply Grade from Clip" function now respects the node stack setting, and when transcoding EXR to ProRes, the immersive metadata range is no longer lost. For developers and power users, the Scripting API now offers support for setting the media storage location during project creation, as well as for querying and applying Fairlight presets.
