While it’s not the biggest update Blackmagic Design has released for the company’s popular NLE, this latest DaVinci Resolve 19.1.1 update is still noteworthy and set to bring some much-needed stability and workflow improvements.
If we’re being honest, that's all we filmmakers, videographers, and professional video editors care about. Resolve 19 itself is a pretty audacious video editing solution that combines editing, color correction, visual effects, motion graphics, and audio post production alongside some AI-powered tools to make you a more productive editor.
Yet, despite all of its fancy post-pro bells and whistles, it still needs some smoothing out from time to time. And DaVinci Resolve update 19.1.1 is here to bring about those minor and major improvements. Let’s explore what’s new and updated.
DaVinci Resolve 19
Just in case you're still running an older version of DaVinci and are familiar with everything new in DaVinci Resolve 19, let's quickly cover those changes first because version 19 itself represents a major update over 18.
DaVinci Resolve 19 brought more than 100 upgrades to the NLE including AI tools backed by an integrated neural engine along with some major feature set additions like faster decodes and encodes on Windows PCs, remote rendering, temporal and spatial noise reduction, voice isolation, a new film look creator, a background defocus tool, new HDR tools, a camera tracker, and much more.
DaVinci Resolve 19.1.1 Update
With the DaVinci Resolve update 19.1 being released just a month ago, this 19.1.1 is an update to an update, as most of these improvements are just that—minor improvements. Still, it’s worth highlighting a few important new additions.
Most particularly, Resolve 19.1.1 will get enhanced clip placement functionality, which will allow users to paste clips on timelines at their in-and-out points or at their playhead directly. This should help editors move more quickly and speed up their editing process from the get-go.
