DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 — v21.0 Beta 3 for Mac
DaVinci Resolve Studio is Blackmagic Design’s all-in-one post suite—Cut, Edit, Fusion, Color, Fairlight, Media, Deliver, and in v21 a dedicated Photo page for still-image finishing.
Beta 3 (21.0b3) is the third public preview: refinements across Photo, MultiMaster, VR delivery, scripting, and camera capture, plus broad stability fixes. Back up projects before upgrading—projects opened in 21.0b3 may not reopen in Resolve 20.3.2.

looking for v21 stable!! thank u anyways for this beta 3, working fine till now
Asking for license key
A great thing for beta 3 is that it has automatic subtitles for every language, it is in beta still, but in my case it works great 🙂 no need for Capcut anymore 🙂
I am seeing this error when running the patch, anyone seeing this as well?

Just Installed, Works Perfectly Fine. No Errors. Thankyou so much
I feel like the keyframe feature isn’t working.
It’s working great, thank you uploader 🙏
I had to try two times to install patch from privacy/install anyway, in order to properly install, but it’s fine here
M1 pro
what is the size of the xcode ?
i have an m1 pro too but i dont feel like installing xcode its its too big – i might just have to wait for the public release
I don’t understand your question 🙂 I just follow instruction, install app, then patch and that’s it.
Working perfectly fine on M4 Max not like B2
