Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 21 Public Beta 4 is out with improvements and bug fixes for Resolve effects on still images, AI CineFocus visual quality, AI beauty tools, keyframe editor workflows and immersive video support. See all the details below.

Today we released public beta 4 of DaVinci Resolve 21 which adds improvements and bug fixes for Resolve effects on still images, AI CineFocus visual quality, AI beauty tools, keyframe editor workflows and immersive video support.

For the photo page, Resolve FX now behave more reliably when transforming still images. If you resize or reposition a photo with an effect applied, overlays and on screen controls now remain correctly aligned, making it easier to fine tune adjustments without interruption. The update also improves transparency handling for effects on stills, remembers effect favorites between app launches and fixes warper tool behavior on photos so you can more accurately reshape and manipulate images.

There is also more accurate highlight representation for Canon CR2 and CR3 images. This means bright areas in photos retain a more natural appearance and no longer look darker than expected when grading or compositing.

On the Edit and Cut pages, the keyframe editor now supports Fusion motion paths and other modifiers. This allows animation curves, motion paths and linked parameters from Fusion titles, effects and macros to be adjusted directly alongside timeline keyframes. This means editors can now adjust animated graphics and Fusion effects directly in the keyframe editor, making complex animations faster and easier to refine.

For DaVinci Resolve Studio users, AI CineFocus has been improved to produce more realistic shallow depth of field effects. Better and Faster modes now handle subtle blur more cleanly, while reductions in edge shimmer, stair stepping and halos help foreground subjects separate more naturally from backgrounds. This is especially useful when simulating lens focus effects on interviews, close ups or archival footage.

AI beauty tools have also been refined with the blemish removal tool allowing greater precision for facial area so corrections stay focused only where needed, and better support for alpha layer workflows with the face refinement tool. This makes it easier to isolate and track facial adjustments automatically, reducing the need for manual masking when working on beauty, fashion or interview shots.

In addition, this update adds support for Insta360 native colorspace along with improved DNG decode handling with color value and profile look table support for more consistent image reproduction.
