Blackmagic Design are pleased to announce the release of DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.0b3. This release is available at no charge for existing customers from our support web site.

For DaVinci Resolve 21.0b3, we have taken efforts to keep the project libraries compatible with DaVinci Resolve 20.3.2. While this allows you to access the project library with 20.3.2, individual projects created or opened in 21.0b3 will no longer be accessible in 20.3.2. We recommend a full project library backup as well as individual project backups before opening projects in 21.0b3.
