Blackmagic Design just dropped DaVinci Resolve 20.2.3, and this update is all about speed, precision, and smarter workflows. Whether you’re editing, grading, or compositing, this version packs serious performance improvements that help you create faster without compromising quality.

Let’s break down what’s new and why it matters for your next project.

AI Tools Just Got Way Faster

If you’re running DaVinci Resolve Studio on Windows with an Intel GPU, this update will make your day. The new version delivers up to 4x faster performance for some of Resolve’s most powerful AI-driven tools: Magic Mask, Depth Map, and Super Scale.

That means isolating subjects, adjusting depth, and upscaling footage are now smoother and nearly real-time. You’ll spend less time waiting on renders and more time focusing on your creative flow.

Hotkeys That Save You Clicks

Workflow efficiency often comes down to the little things, and Blackmagic nailed it with this one. You can now assign hotkeys to open or close the timeline keyframe and curves tray, giving you instant control over animation timing and motion.

No more digging through menus. Just press, tweak, and keep editing.

Broader Codec Support

Compatibility just got wider. DaVinci Resolve 20.2.3 adds support for the VP8 codec in WEBM and MKV files, which means older YouTube videos, web clips, and camera footage now import seamlessly with no conversions needed.

You get faster imports, less compression loss, and cleaner integration with your existing footage.

Better Metadata Handling for VFX Work

Visual effects artists, you’ll appreciate this one: rendered EXRs now retain nested position metadata from the original clips. That means your layered compositions maintain accurate spatial relationships even after rendering.

In short: better alignment, cleaner composites, and smoother re-edits down the road.

Other Improvements Worth Noting

Along with these major updates, DaVinci Resolve 20.2.3 also brings:

• Improved MP4 and MKV decoding
• Enhanced scripting integration
• Support for Blackmagic RAW 5.1

It’s a solid update for editors and colorists who want speed and flexibility in one package.
