Blackmagic Design has announced the release of DaVinci Resolve 21.0.1 which adds improvements for RAW image workflows and HDR delivery. In this update, improved DNG and Apple ProRAW decoding allows for more accurate color and brightness representation across different image sources and color management workflows. This offers more consistent results when comparing images from different cameras or mobile devices to reduce time spent matching shots.

In addition, H.265 HDR renders now include improved HDR metadata handling so exported files are more reliably recognized as HDR by compatible televisions and media players. This makes it easier to review and deliver HDR content from Windows and MainConcept H.265 codecs throughout the delivery workflow. For DaVinci Resolve Studio users, there’s also improved reliability when using AI CineFocus, making it easier to use AI-powered focus adjustments to isolate subjects and create depth-of-field effects in post production.

This update also adds support for Sony α7R VI ARW RAW stills and decoding of Affinity RGB 16-bit formats. DaVinci Resolve 21.0.1 is available now as a free download from: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion
