Blackmagic Design has revealed the new DaVinci Resolve 12 Beta 4. This is one excellent example of a software release where the betas are actually truly exciting, creating more and more excitement in time for the big release. The fourth beta is quite an improvement from number three, as expressed in the information from Blackmagic themselves:

 “The Beta 4 update includes new drag Video or Audio only to timeline from the source viewer or Media Pool, still frame mark I/O, a gray UI option in preferences, support for the ARRI SDK for full resolution debayer, improved VU meters as well as general performance enhancements. New features in Beta 3 include empty track deletion, timeline proxy mode and enhanced H.264.”

 The beta releases keep adding to themselves, including both bug updates as well as new features that weren’t ready for the original beta edition. The goal is of course to have everything tried and ready in good time for the big release.
