Blackmagic Design has released DaVinci Resolve 20.2, a free update that introduces long-awaited Apple ProRes RAW support, immersive EXR workflows, and AI-driven atmospheric effects. With improvements across editing, Fusion, and color grading, the release significantly expands Resolve’s capabilities for filmmakers, VFX artists, and colorists. Unlike many incremental updates, DaVinci Resolve 20.2 delivers major advances that impact both creative flexibility and technical workflows. From native ProRes RAW decoding on all platforms to direct streaming to Apple Vision Pro, the update strengthens Blackmagic’s position in both traditional and immersive post-production environments. ProRes RAW support across platforms DaVinci Resolve 20.2 now natively decodes Apple ProRes RAW and ProRes RAW HQ on macOS, Windows, and Linux. This long-requested addition eliminates the need to transcode ProRes RAW into formats such as ProRes 422 before editing, preserving image quality while saving time. The update is particularly relevant for mirrorless and cinema camera users from brands like Panasonic, Canon, Fujifilm, Sony, Nikon, and others whose models support ProRes RAW recording . Even Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max can now record directly in ProRes RAW, and those files are immediately compatible with Resolve 20.2. Grant Petty, CEO of Blackmagic Design, emphasized that the move extends across Blackmagic’s own hardware ecosystem as well: future firmware for Pocket Cinema Camera models and Video Assist monitors will add ProRes RAW recording support.
