Blackmagic Design just released DaVinci Resolve 20.2.2, a small but important maintenance update addressing playback, trimming, and metadata issues introduced in the previous 20.2 release. While this version adds no major new features, it refines everyday workflows and boosts reliability across edit, color, and Fairlight pages. After the bigger leap of DaVinci Resolve 20.2 (article here), which introduced ProRes RAW decoding, immersive EXR workflows, and AI-driven “Cinematic Haze” effects, the focus of the just-released version 20.2.2 (update downloadable here) is squarely on polishing user experience and improving stability, particularly in editing and audio post-production. Refinements in editing and timeline handling Editors will notice smoother timeline behavior thanks to fixes for ripple deletes and trim operations that occasionally unlinked or removed audio. Linked audio clips now maintain proper relationships even during complex ripple trims. Playback in Fairlight and the Edit page also sees reduced jitter, while “Go to mouse pointer” and cinema viewer navigation issues have been addressed. A long-requested correction ensures that applying grades from other clips now correctly respects the user’s “node stack” preference, giving colorists more predictable behavior when transferring looks across shots. Improvements in Fusion and Fairlight Fusion gains several quality-of-life improvements, including fixes for spline easing, USD texture paths, and 3D Renderer named layer visibility. A crash caused by certain ripple trims was also resolved, and network rendering of Swizzler compositions now performs as expected. Audio users benefit from smoother MP3 playback and restored visibility of in/out controls in the Fairlight viewer at smaller UI widths....
