Blackmagic Design has released a major update to DaVinci Resolve 20, adding over 100 new AI-powered features and tools, including IntelliScript, Animated Subtitles, Multicam SmartSwitch, Audio Assistant, improved cloud storage support, and more.
One of the most exciting AI features is AI IntelliScript, which will automatically create a video timeline based on a project script. This feature will match transcribed audio in media clips with the script text and generate a timeline from the best selected frames.
Added to this is the AI-powered Animated Subtitles feature, which lets you animate subtitles in sync with your voice. Multicam SmartSwitch will automatically create a timeline with camera angles while tracking the speaker. The Cut and Edit pages will feature a new dedicated Keyframe Editor and Voiceover Palettes, while the AI Audio Assistant will analyze audio on the timeline and create a professional sound mix. In addition, the Fusion feature will enable advanced multi-layer compositing workflows.
Other new AI features include AI Set Extender, which lets you create scene extensions to fill a frame with a simple text prompt, and AI Music Extender for audio. AI Dialogue Matcher automatically adjusts the tone, level, and environment of dialogue based on the room’s environment. AI Detect Music Beats also analyzes audio clips with rhythmic music and automatically places markers to indicate rhythmic accents.
In addition to the AI-powered improvements, DaVinci Resolve 20 also brings other improvements. For example, a new interface template for vertical videos will appear on the color editing, cutting, merging and other pages, as well as a set of tools for deep image compositing and many other innovations.
New features in Blackmagic Cloud include cloud folders, making it easy to share additional files. All cloud content will appear as virtual clips and folders until it is used in a project, at which point it is synced locally.
You can learn more about all the new features and changes in DaVinci Resolve 20 on the official Blackmagic website. The public beta version of the program is now available for download.
