Release of DaVinci Resolve Studio 16b7 & Fusion Studio 16 b7

[Peter Chamberlain]

We are pleased to announce the release of DaVinci Resolve Studio 16 public beta 7 and Fusion Studio 16 public beta 7. These are a no charge updates for all existing customers. You can download these updates from the Blackmagic Design support web site. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion

This version of DaVinci Resolve improves playback performance on the edit and cut pages when using DeckLink and UltraStudio capture and playback devices, makes multicam angle syncing via audio waveform more reliable and improves the behavior of grabbing stills and working with color qualifiers on clips that have OpenFX or ResolveFX. In addition, this release also adds support for decoding embedded AIFF content in AAF timelines, now recognizes the correct order of channels in AAC and QuickTime clips, and renders IMF packages with the correct audio metadata. 

The Fusion Studio 16 Public Beta 7 improves the reliability of paint tool overlays in the viewer and addresses general application stability when opening large projects, previewing wand or range tools with mask inputs, and when changing the histogram type in the color corrector node.
