✂️ Streamlined Editing Tools

🧭 Vertical Timeline Optimization

Editing vertical video? The UI now automatically adapts on the cut, edit, and color pages—maximizing screen space without endless zooming or repositioning.

🎙️ Voiceover Palettes     

Two new tools make voice recording simple and efficient:

• Cut Page Voiceover Palette: Record during playback with cue, record, and stop buttons. Includes voice isolation and a built-in script prompter.
  
  

• Edit Page Voiceover Tool: Record directly into the timeline with input monitoring, countdowns, and destination track settings.
  
  

🧪 Fusion Gets a Major Upgrade

🌌 Deep Image Compositing

Fusion now supports deep image EXR files, allowing you to work with depth data for more realistic 3D compositing. New nodes let you merge, transform, and manipulate these layers with precision.   

🖼️ Multi-Layer Image Support  

Now you can work with multi-layer EXR and PSD files across all nodes. Easily access, preview, and manipulate individual layers without needing multiple renders.

✂️ MultiPoly Tool

Forget jumping between mask nodes—Fusion’s new MultiPoly tool gives you a centralized view of all masks. Edit, toggle, and manage shapes faster than ever—perfect for complex rotoscoping jobs.

🎨 Smarter Color Grading

🎭 Magic Mask 2

The updated Magic Mask tool uses AI to provide faster and more accurate tracking. Use points to select people or objects, and refine selections even in low-quality or obstructed footage.

🌈 Chroma Warp in Color Warper

Advanced control over color shifts with the new Chroma Warp feature lets you create smoother, more precise adjustments for high-end color grading.

📣 Final Thoughts

Whether you’re editing vlogs, music videos, client projects, or narrative films, DaVinci Resolve 20 brings a level of automation and intelligence that helps you create more and work faster. The AI features alone are a huge step forward, but the upgraded Fusion and voiceover tools truly round this out as one of Resolve’s most ambitious updates yet.
