DaVinci Resolve 20.2 Adds ProRes RAW, Immersive Workflows, and AI Fog Effects Blackmagic Design’s DaVinci Resolve 20.2 update has landed, bringing some major new tools for editors and colorists. From ProRes RAW support to immersive video workflows and a fresh AI cinematic haze effect, this release is all about giving creators more options for modern filmmaking. ProRes RAW Decoding Is Here One of the biggest wins for DaVinci Resolve users is the addition of native ProRes RAW decoding. Editors working with Apple’s format can now process, color, and grade ProRes RAW clips directly in Resolve on Windows, Mac, and Linux. This skips the need for outside conversion, making workflows much smoother for anyone using cameras or recorders that support the format. Better Immersive Workflows: Vision Pro and EXR Support for immersive productions got a major upgrade. DaVinci Resolve 20.2 works hand-in-hand with Blackmagic’s URSA Cine and Apple Vision Pro content: [object Object], [object Object], [object Object] AI Cinematic Haze: Fog Effects That Feel Real The new AI-powered Cinematic Haze effect is all about atmosphere. It uses DaVinci’s AI depth mapping to create convincing fog, haze, and scattering effects that react to scene depth. You can control how much fog appears near or far, tweak density, add halation around light sources, and simulate airy turbulence. It’s perfect for stylized shots or giving digital scenes a touch of filmic realism. Fusion and Multilayer Renders On the compositing side, Fusion gets a big boost with multi-layer rendering. You can now preview individual passes, like diffuse, specular, ambient, reflect, refract, and fog directly in the viewer. This makes compositing more flexible and speeds up VFX workflows for complex, layered scenes. Other Welcome Enhancements [object Object], [object Object], [object Object] DaVinci Resolve 20.2 is aimed squarely at creators working in high-end postproduction, immersive media, and advanced color grading. By bringing ProRes RAW onboard, stepping up immersive video support, and adding smart AI effects, Blackmagic is keeping Resolve ahead of the curve for modern digital storytelling.
