Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve is truly an ever-evolving video editing software. And while you could say that about all video editing apps like Premiere Pro and Final Cut as well, DaVinci Resolve is perhaps the most ever-changing.

With what feels like dozens of updates already this year (or at least over the past three to six months), Resolve is always improving, upgrading, and adding new tools and features. This latest update (version 18.6.5) is no different as Resolve is set to get new codecs, some spicy new AI stabilization for more cameras now, and support for the upcoming release of the Sony BURANO.

Let’s take a look at everything new coming to DaVinci Resolve 18.6.5.

DaVinci Resolve Update 18.6.5

As mentioned above, the biggest news here is the support for new codecs and file types coming to DaVinci Resolve. Of course, Resolve will offer support for Blackmagic’s own BRAW 3.6.1 format now. Still, Resolve is also adding some brand new abilities to import X-OCN clips out of the upcoming Sony BURANO as well.

DaVinci Resolve 18.6.5 is also adding support for AI stabilization which can be added to any footage shot with cameras like the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K or the Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2. This AI stabilization will make use of the built-in motion sensor that records data on how much the camera pans, tilts, or rolls and can use those numbers to help stabilize in Resolve Studio.

It’s also cool to see that more features and changes are coming to the color page too. When adding EXR mattes to clips the nodes will now default to the layer names in the metadata of the original file. This will help streamline your editing process and help you keep things a bit more organized in Resolve moving forward.

Everything Else New Coming to Resolve

Those are perhaps the biggest new updates and features coming to DaVinci Resolve 18.6.5. However, as is often the case, there are a host of other smaller changes set to hit Resolve when you download the new update.
