Blackmagic Design has unveiled version 16 of DaVinci Resolve and Fusion.
This update brings a host of exciting new features. One of the standouts is the new Cut page, which has been designed to streamline the editing process by optimizing the user interface and simplifying the traditional editing timeline.
