Introducing the powerful new DaVinci Neural Engine AI tool and massively upgrading over 100 features! Editors can use transcribed audio directly to find the speaker and edit timeline clips. Colorists can use the ColorSlice six-vector settings panel to create film-like tones, and use the new Film Look Creator movie style creation tool to simulate the photometric film process to create images with a cinematic look. The IntelliTrack AI tool in Fairlight can be used to track movement and automatically adjust audio panning. Fusion provides visual effects artists with an expanded USD toolset and a new MultiPoly dynamic masking tool. The quick edit page adds broadcast-grade replay tools for real-time multi-camera broadcast editing and playback, supplemented by replay with speed control.

This software update adds support for immersive EXR workflows and streaming immersive content directly from Fusion to Apple Vision Pro. Additionally, it improves track assignment and ripple trimming controls, adds a new custom metadata column, and supports playback of Apple ProRes RAW. DaVinci Resolve Studio 20.2 improves MultiText alignment and transform controls on the Fusion page and adds a new AI Cinematic Haze effect on the Color page.
