DaVinci Resolve 18.6.4 now available

Sound the Resolve Update Klaxon as Blackmagic has uploaded the latest DaVinci Resolve 18.6.4 release to its servers for immediate download. Fusion has also had an update too.

Available as always for both the free DaVinci Resolve 18.6 and the more pro-use-oriented DaVinci Resolve 18.6 Studio, there’s the usual mix of new features and bug squishing in the latest DaVinci Resolve 18.6.4 release. 

Highlights include support for Blackmagic RAW SDK 3.6 (which in turn adds support for Panasonic Lumix G9II Blackmagic RAW clips - there's also an update to Blackmagic Video Assist 3.14 to accommodate this), the ability to convert a timeline to stereoscopic 3D (remember that? interesting addition there...), and some boosts to Resolve's transcription capabilities with audio and clear transcription context menus for bins. There's also a new UI indicator for timelines with custom settings

Here’s the complete list of what’s new:

As ever, the free version of DaVinci Resolve 18.6 includes all of the same high quality processing as DaVinci Resolve 18.6 Studio and can handle unlimited resolution media files. However, it does limit project mastering and output to Ultra HD resolutions or lower. DaVinci Resolve 18.6 only supports a single processing GPU on Windows and Linux and 2 GPUs on the latest Mac Pro.
