Blackmagic Design released the 3rd public beta of their DaVinci Resolve 20 software.The new version brings a number of enhancements, including improved character styling and MultiText layer labeling. You can now assign editable names to individual MultiText layers, making them easier to identify when editing. In addition, character styling and text resizing is now correctly applied to all selected layers, greatly simplifying working with multiple text elements at once.
This update also brings more responsive editing of keyframes and curves in the curve editor. Large position changes - for example, when transforming or cropping - will no longer affect the visibility of keyframes. Audio synchronization for subclips has also been improved, so that the "in" and "out" points will now exactly match both the original high-res footage and the proxy versions.
Performance has been improved when playing timelines or clips with burnt in data (e.g. timecode, source file names or grading versions). This means smoother playback even when reviewing footage with this data.
For Studio users, the update brings more accurate subtitle animation for a wider range of languages. When working with languages with specific character spacing, such as Chinese or Thai, the word distribution will now be correctly detected and the animation of each word applied accurately.
