Blackmagic Design, 2025

Read on October 17, 2026

What it is: Blackmagic Design's official guide to what is new in DaVinci Resolve 20, published as a PDF in April 2025. It covers the Extras Download Manager, the Extended Transcription Language Support package, and the IntelliScript steps that use Audio Transcription.
How much weight it carries: Published by the software's maker. It describes what is new in version 20 rather than the full manual, so it does not list every feature for every edition. Menu names and package lists can change in later releases.
