Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 14 Beta 7 verfügbar

Gestern gab Blackmagic Design die sofortige Verfügbarkeit von DaVinci Resolve 14 Beta 7 bekannt. In der IT versteht man unter einer Beta-Version eigentlich einen “Feature-Freeze”, also eine Vorversion der finalen Release-Version, an der keine neuen Funktionen mehr hinzukommen sondern nur noch Bugs in bestehenden Funktionen ausgemerzt werden, die in erster Linie von Nutzern der Beta-Version gefunden werden sollen. Bei Blackmagic kamen jedoch mit den letzten Betas auch immer wieder noch neue Funktionen hinzu, wie auch diesmal in der siebten Ausgabe:

So wurden nun die Project Settings, User Preferences und System Preferences umgestellt, was bei Altanwendern für etwas Verwirrung sorgen kann. Einstellungen wie Tastatur-Shortcuts oder Panel Einstellungen werden jetzt lokal am Rechner und nicht mehr in den enzelnen Projekten gespeichert.

Weiters gibt es jetzt die Unterstützung der Ansicht von Spurautomationsdaten im "Fairlight"-Arbeitsraum, sowie die Möglichkeit zum Rendern mehrerer einzelner Tonspuren. Auch die Navigation in der Fairlight Timeline sowie die Videowiedergabe sollen weiter verbessert worden sein.

Auch das Benutzerhandbuch wurde nun (ebenfalls als Beta) für die Version 14 zum Download freigegeben, was vielleicht ein Indiz dafür ist, dass die finale Version nicht mehr lange auf sich warten lässt.
