What You Need to Know About DaVinci Resolve’s Immersive Video Workflow

A Practical Guide for Post-Production Professionals

At Mixing Light, we are having an Office Hours LIVE! with Zeb Chadfield about DaVinci Resolve Studio’s new Immersive Workflow (all members can watch the replay until it’s released as an Insight). Zeb has practical experience with this workflow and will be here to discuss it with us. I asked Zeb to host this conversation because it’s important that we are all aware of new workflows and opportunities to expand our skills, workflows, and client offerings.

This Insight is a primer for our upcoming discussion. It’s based 100% on Blackmagic’s 56-page Immersive Workflow Guide.

Zeb will offer clarifications and a client-driven experience to what’s written in this Insight. But I thought it’d be a helpful guide to get the conversation going. So here we are.

NOTE: All images in this Insight are pulled from the Blackmagic September 2025 Workflow Guide.

Creating Content for the Apple Vision Pro: The Reality

Here’s the setup: You’re a member of Mixing Light, working in post-production. A client mentions they’re shooting with the new Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera for Apple Vision Pro. You’ve read the headlines, but do you have the gear and resources to know if you can take on this project?

The good news: If you’re running DaVinci Resolve Studio, you’re halfway there.

The practical reality: There are three operational foundations that are fundamentally different from traditional post workflows. Understanding these upfront saves you from time-consuming mistakes. This guide covers the essentials from Blackmagic’s official workflow manual. If you want the deep dive, then you can download BMD’s September 2025 Immersive Workflow Guide. It’s prep for our deeper discussion with Zeb.
