DaVinci Resolve 20 public beta 4

Blackmagic Design has released the 4th public beta of their DaVinci Resolve 20 software, which brings additional enhancements including a new "flat" mode for keyframe easing. This means that when editing animations on the "Edit" or "Cut" page, you can more quickly ease-in and ease-out from a pause or standtill position. For example, if you're animating a bouncing ball, "flat" mode will ensure the ball naturally stops at the top of the bounce before it starts to fall again - mimicking real physics.

This update also adds the ability to display "clip handles" (clip edges) when using the curve editor. This allows you to use keyframes even in unused frames before and after the clip, making it easier to control the application of effects like opacity, position, zoom and more at the beginning or end of the clip. Another improvement when working with curves is the ability to right-click on a keyframe and select easing options. This will bring up an overlay window that allows for quick edits and avoids inadvertently shifting keyframes - thus speeding up the entire editing process.

For Studio version users, this update brings DaVinci RemoteMonitoring support for Intel and AMD Windows systems. A greater number of computers will now support live streaming of the DaVinci Resolve Studio preview to a remote monitor - making it easier to edit and color correct remotely.

In addition, this release improves support for animations of manually created or imported titles. DaVinci Resolve now calculates animation timing based on timeline position, length and word count - making animations of individual words or letters appear smoother and more natural.

The update is now available as a free download here.
