Blackmagic Design are at it again with the DaVinci Resolve 15 and released a new Beta 7 version not long after Beta 6 was released. This new version addresses dozens of performance and stability issues that customers have reported via the beta feedback forum on the Blackmagic Design website. The new DaVinci Resolve 15 Public Beta 7 lets you view custom clip colours in bins, clip annotations in the timeline viewer and improves match frame functionality on the edit page. Public beta 7 also adds support for Resolve FX and GPU accelerated OpenFX to the Fusion page, along with new saver nodes. In addition, DaVinci Resolve Studio users can now render Dolby Vision and HDR10+ clips with tone mapping as well as export Dolby Vision XMLs. For delivery, DaVinci Resolve 15 Studio public beta 7 now supports higher bit rate and lossless Kakadu JPEG 2000 encoding. In addition, legacy Fairlight projects can now be opened in DaVinci Resolve on Windows.
