Magic Mask 2, Chroma Warp, ACES 2.0 and More

Blackmagic has unleashed DaVinci Resolve 20, packed with over 100 new and improved features. In this Insight, I’ll walk you through my favorite updates—brand-new additions and significant improvements—highlighting how they work and why they earned a spot on my list. I’ll even highlight a few of the “smaller” improvements that show Blackmagic has been listening to user feedback.

Key topics in today’s Insight include:

  • Magic Mask 2
  • AI Depth Map
  • Dedicated Keyframe Panel on the Edit Page
  • Remote Monitoring Improvements
  • Chroma Warp – Color Warper
  • New Color Management Options
  • LUT and Colorspace Context Options in Multi-User Projects
  • Several small Improvements worth mentioning
  • DaVinci Resolve 20 New Features Guide (PDF)—This is a direct link to the PDF. It includes detailed explanations of all the major (and many smaller) features introduced in Resolve 20. Typically, it takes a few months for the details in this PDF to be added to the Resolve User Guide that ships with a new major version of DaVinci Resolve.
