Blackmagic has announced its newest update to its video editing software, DaVinci Resolve. Amongst other features, the new update ass support for stabilisation using gyro data from the Cinema Camera 6K (buy here).

It also adds support for video files shot by the upcoming Sony Burano (buy here) Cinealta cinema camera, along with the Blackmagic RAW SDK 3.6.1. Increased support for OpenTimelineIO import and export has also been added.

What’s new?

The headline features for the new update are support for the Blackmagic RAW SDK 3.6.1 and X-OCN clips from the Sony Burano Cinealta camera. These are 16-Bit raw files which offer smaller sizes than traditional raw video files with linear scene encoding.

DaVinci Resolve 18.6.4 also adds support for the import and export of both compound clips and clip markets using OpenTimelineIO. This is an API and interchange format which supports clips, timing, tracks, transitions, markers, metadata and more.

For most of us, it can be considered an updated replacement for the old Final Cut Pro XML format. Import and export for this format has been around for years. It’s what I used to export projects from Premiere Pro into Resolve for grading before Resolve because a decent editor in its own right.

Here’s a complete list of changes in the latest 18.6.5 update:

  • Support for Blackmagic RAW SDK 3.6.1.
  • Support for Sony Burano X-OCN clips.
  • Gyro stabilization with Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K.
  • Ability to import and export compound clips in OpenTimelineIO.

While the features are being applied to both DaVinci Resolve and DaVinci Resolve Studio, there are limitations that will be in place if you’re using the free version of the software. You’re limited to rendering out at 4K UHD, and many effects, AI and 3D tools will be unavailable.
