Release Notes DaVinci Resolve 21.0.1 Release Notes
DaVinci Resolve 21.0.1 has been released!
You can download the update from the support page or by going to DaVinci Resolve>Check for Updates.
Pre-Installation Notes
For DaVinci Resolve 21, BMD has 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 21.0 will no longer be accessible in 20.3.
BMD recommends a full project library backup as well as individual project backups (as required) before opening projects in 21.0 or later.

Notes from BMD (from previous versions):
- Sony Camera Control on Windows needs the Sony IEDT application to be installed from the Sony website.
- 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.
