Blackmagic Design has just dropped a game-changing update, DaVinci Resolve 20.1, and it’s bringing immersive video editing straight into the mainstream. Whether you're an editor, colorist, audio pro, or VFX artist, this release is packed with powerful tools built specifically for Apple Vision Pro workflows.

Let’s break down what’s new and why it matters

Native Support for Apple Immersive Video

With version 20.1, DaVinci Resolve Studio for macOS now natively supports immersive video captured using the new Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive camera. This means creators can now:

• Edit 8K stereoscopic 3D footage at 90fps,
• Color grade immersive visuals,
• Add jaw-dropping VFX, and
• Mix Apple Spatial Audio Format (ASAF) all within the same workflow.

No more patchwork between tools. It's everything immersive, all in one place.

Immersive Viewer & Vision Pro Integration

The new immersive video viewer is a standout feature. Editors can:

• Pan, tilt, and roll immersive clips on a 2D screen,
• Or stream footage directly to Apple Vision Pro for a fully immersive editing experience.

This is a big leap for storytelling. Whether you're producing VR concerts, action-packed sequences, or serene nature documentaries, you’ll get to preview your world exactly how your audience will see it.

Immersive Tools for Every Workflow Page

From the Edit page to Color, Fusion, and Fairlight, immersive features are baked in:

• Edit Page: Handle immersive media like 2D clips. Add 360° backdrop tracks, adjust viewports, and manage immersive transitions.
• Color Page: Use familiar grading tools with added 3D enhancements like the Edge Mask to hide objects like boom mics or refine frame edges.
• Fusion Page: Design 3D titles, animate objects across immersive fields, and work with USD files for high-end VFX.
  
• Fairlight Page: Mix ASAF audio with precise spatial placement using 7th-order Ambisonics, object panning, and head-tracking for AirPods.

This isn’t just an update; it’s an immersive revolution.

Exporting Made Simple

Exporting Apple Immersive Video is now as easy as exporting any other project. The new presets on the Media and Delivery pages make it seamless:

• Render in Apple Immersive Video Utility-ready format
• Export ProRes bundles for Apple Compressor
• Stream final cuts directly to Apple Vision Pro

Blackmagic has truly closed the loop from camera to headset.

The Power Behind It All: URSA Cine Immersive

This update is supercharged by the new Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive, built specifically for Apple Vision Pro production:

• Dual 8160x7200 sensors (nearly 59MP per eye!)
• 16 stops of dynamic range
• 90fps stereoscopic capture
• Fixed custom lenses calibrated with precise positional metadata
• 8TB media module and high-speed connectivity

All footage is stored in Blackmagic RAW, carrying immersive lens metadata throughout the workflow.

Designed for the Future of Storytelling

With DaVinci Resolve 20.1 and the URSA Cine Immersive, immersive filmmaking is now more accessible than ever. What used to be complex, expensive, and limited to high-end studios is now within reach for content creators, indie filmmakers, and professionals across the industry.

Whether you're crafting cinematic VR experiences, 3D documentaries, or next-gen brand content, you can now edit, grade, mix, and deliver immersive video using the same intuitive tools you already rely on.

This update isn't just about new features; it's about expanding creative possibilities.
