Welcome to DaVinci Resolve 20.2.3!
For DaVinci Resolve 20.2.3, we have taken efforts to keep the project libraries compatible with DaVinci Resolve 19.1.3. While this allows you to access the project library with 19.1.3, individual projects created or opened in 20.2.3 will no longer be accessible in 19.1.3. We recommend a full project library backup as well as individual project backups before opening projects in 20.2.3.

Notes:
- Intel Driver: With DaVinci Resolve Studio 20.2.3, AI features like Magic Mask 2, Depth Map and Super Scale show a vastly improved performance on Windows with modern Intel platforms. Users will need a compatible Intel GPU (discrete or integrated) that supports OpenVINO, and a minimum driver version of 32.0.101.8247 to leverage these improvements.
- Rendering Immersive Projects: Improvements to edge blend in immersive projects include changes that more closely align the Resolve and visionOS previews. This will change the render for existing immersive projects.
