Blackmagic Design has released DaVinci Resolve 20 Public Beta 2, with a focus on speed keyframe improvements, along with a round of bug fixes. This update also includes fixes for voiceover recording and refinements to dual-screen layouts on the edit page. Let’s take a look! In case you missed it, Blackmagic Design only recently released DaVinci Resolve 20 in beta, which introduced 150 new features. Nino spoke with DaVinci Resolve specialist Simon Hall at NAB 2025 about some of the highlights, including IntelliScript – an AI transcription and script-based editing tool – the new music editor, an AI voice conversion tool, and more. You can read about those updates here or watch the video below.

Voiceover recording fixes This version of Resolve 20 also has fixes that address issues with voiceover recording.
