Just dropping this in here for you guys, Resolve 21 is officially out in beta, and there’s actually a lot in this update. I grabbed two solid videos that break everything down so you can skim through the features and see what actually matters without wasting time digging through release notes. A few things that stood out to me right away: - AI IntelliSearch → being able to search clips by what’s in them (objects, faces, dialogue) is a big workflow shift - AI Cine Focus → finally a blur tool that actually looks natural and handles edges well - Speech Generator → built-in text-to-speech with custom voice options, more useful than I expected for small fixes - Magic Mask caching → not having to re-track masks every time is a legit quality of life win - New Photo Page → full photo workflow inside Resolve, feels like they’re pushing toward replacing Lightroom There’s also a bunch of smaller quality-of-life stuff that honestly adds up more than the headline features. Quick heads up, though, this is beta. Expect bugs, and don’t throw it on a critical project without backing things up first. Go check out the videos and see what stands out to you. Curious what you guys actually think is useful vs just new and shiny 👇

Hey, just wanted to share something I watched this week. Greg put out a video on 6 keyboard shortcuts in Resolve that genuinely speed things up. Nothing fancy. Just the kind of stuff that saves seconds over and over again until your edit feels smoother. If you’re newer to Resolve, this is the kind of video that helps things feel less clunky. The playhead jump shortcut alone is worth it. And the ripple trim ones can seriously cut down your A-roll time. Also, I’ve bought Greg’s presets before, and they’ve helped me a lot when editing client work. Clean, practical stuff. I’ll link those too in case you want to check them out. Get Greg's Presets Definitely worth subscribing to his channel. He teaches in a really clear, practical way. I’ll probably share a few more of his videos over the next couple of weeks that I think would be helpful for this group. If you watch it, let me know which shortcut you’re going to try first.
