DaVinci Resolve 21.2 发布：支持 PROLED XDR 触屏、Gen 6 色彩科学 LUT，M5 Pro/M5 Max 渲染最高快 5 倍

Blackmagic Design has released DaVinci Resolve 21.2, and the headline item is support for Apple’s new MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR touch screen. The update also adds support for Blackmagic Generation 6 Color Science LUTs and film looks, and Blackmagic claims up to 5x faster rendering on M5 Pro and M5 Max machines. Editors get multicam clips in source timelines, a shortcut to restore the last active edit points and source timecode for extracted audio, and Studio users get new AI assistant functions.

DaVinci Resolve 21.2, DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.2 and Fusion Studio 21.2 are available now as free updates for macOS, Windows, Windows for Arm and Linux. Blackmagic published the release notes on November 4, 2026. In both editions, the update adds support for the Apple MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display, support for Blackmagic Gen 6 LUTs, multicam clips that open as source clips in source timelines, compound clip changes, EXIF metadata in PNG files and a long list of fixes for audio, AAF, OGraf, H.265 and XDCAM media. The Studio version adds ResolveFX False Color support for Gen 5 and Gen 6 color science, new AI assistant functions and “multiple scripting API improvements”. System requirements do not change.

Version 21.2 follows 21.1.2 from late October, which made OGraf playback faster, refined edit point selection on the Edit page and added faster IntelliSearch analysis on M6 Macs in Studio. The larger feature release was DaVinci Resolve 21.1in September, with the native MCP server for AI assistants and individual HDR trims. For the full picture of version 21, read our coverage of the final Resolve 21 release and our hands-on with the Photo page and IntelliSearch at NAB 2026.

Touch and the M5 Pro and M5 Max

Apple announced the MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR display on October 28. It is the first Mac with a touch screen, and it uses a tandem OLED panel with 2000 nits peak HDR brightness. At the launch, Apple listed DaVinci Resolve among the third-party apps that would get Touch support later this year, but it did not say what the Resolve implementation would include. Resolve 21.2 now lists “Support for Apple MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR touch screens.” The release notes do not say which pages or controls react to touch, or whether Resolve goes beyond the standard macOS behavior that translates touches into clicks.

The PROLED XDR models use the same M5 Pro and M5 Max chips that Apple introduced in March. In the download description for 21.2, Blackmagic claims “up to 5x faster rendering for M5 Pro and M5 Max Apple silicon chips”. Blackmagic does not say which render formats or which earlier version it compares against, so this is a manufacturer figure without a stated baseline. The item also does not appear in the readme itself, only in the summary on the support page.

Generation 6 color science

Both editions add support for Blackmagic Generation 6 Color Science LUTs and film looks. Blackmagic introduced Gen 6 color science to its software in September with Blackmagic RAW 6.0, and Resolve 21.2 now accepts the matching LUTs and film looks. In Studio, the ResolveFX False Color tool now also supports Gen 5 and Gen 6 color science, so exposure checks with false color work with the current Blackmagic camera color pipelines.

Editing: multicam, edit points and compound clips

Most of the editorial changes affect source timelines and edit points. Multicam clips now open as source clips in source timelines, and “Open in Timeline with Source Viewer” now supports both clips and multicams. A new menu action and keyboard shortcut restores the last active edit points, and a Command or Ctrl marquee selection now uses the last edit point type. This continues the trim and edit point work of 21.1, 21.1.1 and 21.1.2.

Compound clips get two changes. When you convert an in-out range to a compound clip, Resolve now replaces the clips in place in the timeline. A separate context action creates a compound clip from the in-out range without that replacement. The update also lets you conform lock multiple timeline clips to one media pool clip in one step.

Several smaller changes remove friction in daily work. The “stop playback” option now also applies to playhead nudges and mouse clicks, Edit menu options stay in place after a UI layout reset, and PNG files now carry their EXIF metadata into Resolve.

Audio and interchange fixes

For sound editors, extracted audio files now keep the source timecode. Blackmagic has also improved the decoding speed of MXF audio from network storage, fixed slow renders of MP3 audio-only files and corrected the channel order of WAV files with iXML tracks. An audio input device preference no longer resets after a restart, and pasted clip EQ Q and frequency values are now correct.

On the interchange side, 21.2 fixes missing clips in some AAF imports and wrong audio timecode in AAF files with interlaced media. Imported TTML subtitles now show italics correctly. For collaboration projects, source track changes in source timelines now work as intended.

AI assistants and scripting in Studio

The native MCP server that arrived in Resolve Studio 21.1 lets AI assistants such as Claude control a project with normal language. In 21.2, Blackmagic lists “improved AI assistant color and Fusion capabilities”. AI assistants can now download the extras that some advanced features need, and they can export frames or order thumbnails as a grid. Blackmagic gives no further detail on these functions. Studio also gets “multiple scripting API improvements”, and the Fusion tool and scripting reference documents are updated in both editions.

Media, OGraf and render fixes

Blackmagic lists a long series of fixes that affect camera media and delivery. They address slow loading of media from XDCAM drives, flashing media offline frames with some H.265 clips, a crash when decoding some multi-channel DNG files, file size estimates for spanned RED clips and artifacts in Sony XAVC Long GOP MXF renders. On Windows, the update fixes HE-AAC decoding of some clips and a GPU memory error with some OpenFX. ACES 2.0 artifacts on Windows and Linux are also fixed.

OGraf templates now load from network and zipped paths, and Blackmagic has addressed render timeouts and memory use with OGraf files. Other fixes cover the data burn scaling for render resolutions, render in place handles for frame-based formats, a hang when editing MultiText keyframes during render cache, missing Text+ inspector controls in older projects, an anchoring issue with Text+ CLS box extend controls, CustomTool LUT name controls, and network paths with accented characters on macOS 27. Studio users also get fixes for OpenFX that disappeared from MultiMaster trim groups on reload and for a render crash with MainConcept H.265 CRF encoding.

The standalone Fusion Studio 21.2 has its own list. The OGraf inspector now shows up to 35 template properties, and the update fixes OGraf loading and render issues, a material viewer crash with software rendering, the Shake random seed, script issues with the AddTool and SetInput functions, and the reading of video files with FFmpeg.

Before you install

The project library warning from the earlier 21.x releases still applies. Libraries stay compatible with DaVinci Resolve 20.3.2, but any project you create or open in 21.2 no longer opens in 20.3.2. Blackmagic recommends a full library backup and individual project backups before you update.

System requirements are the same as in 21.1: macOS 15 Sequoia or later on Apple silicon, Windows 10 Creators Update, Windows 11 for Arm on Snapdragon X Elite or NVIDIA RTX Spark, and Rocky Linux 8.6. NVIDIA users need Studio driver 581.57 or newer on Windows, 616.0 or newer on RTX Spark and 580.119.02 or newer on Linux. Monitoring through Blackmagic video hardware needs Desktop Video 12.9 or later.

Price and availability

DaVinci Resolve 21.2, DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.2 and Fusion Studio 21.2 are free downloads from the Blackmagic Design support center. The full release notes are available for the free version and for DaVinci Resolve Studio.
