DaVinci Resolve 21.2 Released with Enhanced AI Assistants and Touch Support

Blackmagic Design released DaVinci Resolve 21.2 on November 6, 2026, per an IT之家 report the following day, along with a paid Studio update, DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.2. DaVinci Resolve is Blackmagic Design's pro video post-production app, combining editing, color grading, visual effects, motion graphics, audio post, and photo work in one program, widely used for shorts, ads, documentaries, films, and creator content.

The most notable addition is native support for Apple's first touchscreen MacBook Pro, which carries a PROLED XDR screen. Creators can scroll the timeline, drag and drop clips, add effects and subtitles, and pinch-zoom the viewer directly with their fingers, bringing mobile editing and grading closer to an out-of-the-box experience. On performance, Blackmagic says the new version can render effects up to 5x faster on devices with M5 Pro and M5 Max chips; for video teams working with high-resolution footage, complex composites, and many grading nodes, that should cut export and preview wait times noticeably.

For Studio customers, DaVinci Resolve Studio 21.2 also ships more complete AI Assistant extension capabilities and script API improvements, expanding what users can build and automate on top of the app.
