Blackmagic Design today announced DaVinci Resolve 19 beta 3 now supports Qualcomm’s new all in one CPU, NPU and GPU processor for Windows, Snapdragon X Elite.

The latest version of the software has been fine tuned to optimize performance of the DaVinci Neural AI Engine, with NPU acceleration giving customers up to 4.7x faster performance of AI tools such as magic mask and 2x faster performance for smart reframe on computers using this new processor. The new IntelliTrack AI can be used to track motion and automatically pan audio for Fairlight, while optimising tracking and stabilisation in the colour and Fusion pages. UltraNR is a new DaVinci Neural Engine driven denoise mode that can dramatically reduce digital noise from a frame while maintaining image clarity. DaVinci Resolve 19 also includes a new film look creator and ColorSlice, a six vector grading palette which uses subtractive colour processes to adjust image colour density, saturation and hue, allowing customers to produce rich filmic colours and looks. Parameters in each customizable vector slice let colorists enhance and deepen colour without spill, in a way that looks naturally pleasing.

DaVinci Resolve 19 public beta 3 for Windows ARM using Snapdragon X Elite is available for download now from the Blackmagic Design web site.
