DaVinci Resolve 21 Beta 3 release notes and features

Written by Andy Stout | May 15, 2026 8:27:07 AM

Blackmagic's third release for DaVinci Resolve 21 adds more improvements and bug fixes to the public beta.

The second round of improvements and bug fixes for the DaVinci Resolve 21 public beta have just been released. Most of the new features are oriented towards bug-squashing, as you would expect at this point in the development cycle. This includes better MultiMaster collaboration workflows, live capture from Sony Alpha 7 V cameras (this may be Studio only, it's unclear), better color management for stills and new scripting APIs.

DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 Beta 3 also adds improved immersive YouTube metadata support for VR and stereoscopic renders, plus support for decoding Panasonic Lumix RW2 files.

Meanwhile, the Fusion Studio 21 public beta adds more accurate scrubbing, caching and handling of animation durations for OGraf graphics, better Macro Editor control selection and more options when interpreting plain text symbols.

You know the drill by now: all downloads are available for free from Blackmagic Support
