Improvements to speed editor functionality on the edit page

In the edit page, the speed editor features a number of workflow improvements. The Sync Bin button opens the source viewer in multicam mode. The CAM buttons switch angles in multicam clips and timelines. Audio level, trim in, trim out and other functions prioritize selection followed by track order. The slip source button always works on the clip under the playhead and slip dest works on the following clip. Other speed editor functions now match the behavior on the Cut page.
Multiple subtitle improvements

You can now override individual properties for each subtitle caption, e.g adjust font family and style while keeping font size and background to follow track. Imported HTML styled rich text in SRT is handled better with subsequent font changes.

You can also specify per-track deliverable rules, setting multiple tracks targeted at specific markets, each with their own custom CPS, timing and line rules.

Both track style and rules can be saved and recalled as presets from the inspector 3 dot option menu.
New tracks are now added in context in the edit timeline

Context clicking and adding a track inserts the new track adjacent to the context clicked track. When adding multiple tracks, the dialog suggests the appropriate position for the new tracks.
Media inputs for Fusion effects in the edit inspector

You can now drag and drop media pool clips to the inspector as Fusion inputs. When creating Fusion effects, plugins and transitions, you can create media drop targets by selecting a Media In tool and exporting clip name as an inspector control.
Combined sizing and alpha support for nested compound clips

Multicams and simple compound clips can now combine sizing and alpha changes from their child clips with sizing and alpha changes applied in the parent timeline, effectively preserving the underlying media resolution.
New Resolve FX Sky Replacement including generated sky textures

Resolve FX Sky Replacement allows for keying and replacing the sky in shots with B-roll or artificially generated sky textures. You can use it to keep the sky consistent between takes or provide more appropriate backgrounds to creatively affect color and mood.
An option to review rendered clip before social media upload

From the render queue 3 dot option menu, you can enable Review Before Upload. When rendered, jobs with internet presets render to disk and show that they're waiting for upload. From the job's context menu, you can reveal the rendered file, review the quality and content and upload the result.
Individual timeline locks in multi-user collaboration projects

With DaVinci Resolve 18.1, you can lock and edit individual timelines without locking the parent bin's contents. This allows for greater flexibility in multi-user projects in setting up your media pool bins without locking other media or timelines in the same folder.

You can still manually choose to lock individual media pool bins to secure their contents independently.
Reorganized and streamlined view menu

The View menu has been streamlined and improved to make it easier to focus on View-related choices that apply to the entire application, while moving some view-oriented choices that are specific to a single page (e.g., Color) to local menus.

The View menu has been reduced from 40+ items to 25. Some items have been moved into a hierarchical choice, and some moved elsewhere to panel-specific context menus.

The Color Page viewer's 3 dot option menu now includes options like Window Outline, Highlight, Wipe and Split Screen, aggregating some items that were formerly hidden in context menus. These can now be controlled via the keyboard if desired.
Stills options and Step Timeline Wipe are now available from the Color menu.
Display of Smart Bins and Power Bins are now available in the Media Pool panel options menu as they are local to the Media Pool.
Playhead shadows, Gray viewer backgrounds and 2D timeline scrolling can now be found in Preferences>User Preferences.

Dolby Vision cinema trims

DaVinci Resolve now supports the Dolby Vision XML 5.1.0 format which includes trim support for Dolby Vision cinema targets as well as L11 metadata. Users can create trims for Home and Cinema targets by selecting the appropriate target displays.

When exporting a 5.1.0 XML from a Dolby Vision version 4.0 project, there is a dialog where the mastering colorspace, application type and L11 values for content type and intended white point can be chosen.
Fairlight automation curves updates

Substantial update to audio automation curves, including vector-based keyframing, ability to graphically enter, edit, trim, nudge keyframes with standard tools.

A new automation editing view, selectable from the track header automation drop-down menu, allowing management of curves and keyframes. You can add (Option/Alt-click), remove (Ctrl-Alt/Cmd-Option-click), select and move individual keyframes, or select, edit or cut/copy/ paste keyframe ranges. A keyboard shortcut can be configured to allow you to easily switch to fader views.
Automation curve data written by control surfaces now appear as keyframes on the curve line.
Moving keyframes now creates smooth ramps between any 2 adjacent points. When moving multiple keyframes in a range, bounding keyframes are automatically added to the range to preserve values outside the range.
Select an area and drag up or down to create "carve out trims," allowing instant level changes over a selected area. Use the Shift key for fine tuning.
In the multi tool focus mode, hold shift-alt/shift-option to temporarily switch to the pencil tool to redraw curves.
An overlay will appear when trimming and adjusting keyframes. e.g. "-8.5 dB (∆1.3 dB)" indicating absolute level value (-8.5 dBfs) and the change in the current trim operation (+1.3 dB).
The Select Range Mode Tool is now removed as it is no longer needed. The other tools (especially Multi Tool in Focus mode) can now be used in the Automation curve view to select and manipulate keyframing.

Fairlight automation modes updates

New behaviors have been added to automation modes:

Automation values now update when moving the playhead to a new location, avoiding discontinuities when recording automation; faders are always up to date when the Playhead is parked.
The Fairlight>Automation menu has several new choices:
You can choose Write to Start/End/All actions to write current automation levels to the start, the end or all of your timeline.
Choose Join to manually resume writing automation in Latch mode from the current level.
You can set an automation active zone (indicated in red on the ruler) by choosing Fairlight>Automation>Active Range and choosing In, Out or Enable to restrict where automation can be written. Automation preview switches automatically at the borders, allowing playback before and after the active range and recording within the range.
Trimming can be initiated by touching and holding the fader prior to pressing play, or prior to or during playback, pressing the automation punch button on the channel. The button will turn red and the fader cap will turn yellow. Use of the punch button allows trimming to be initiated on some channels and not on others.
You can disable per-track automation recording and automation playback by right clicking the automation arm icon in the mixer and selecting Off or Safe.
The user preference "Include mixer events in the undo stack", in the Fairlight tab, allows mixer actions to be undone from Edit>Undo (Control/Cmd-Z).

Fairlight grid mode

The Fairlight grid mode allows you to position clips on a grid based on timecode or musical tempo.

From the Grid options, located next to the Timeline View options above the ruler, you can customize grid line visibility, duration, snapping to grid lines and other options.
For the timecode grid, you can select resolutions of 1 second, 1 frame, 1/2 frame and 1/4 frame.
For the tempo grid, you can configure beats per minute, note duration (1 bar, 1/2 note, 1/4 note, 1/8 note, 1/16 note) and time signature (4/4, 3/4 and 6/8).
The ruler context menu also allows you to set grid start at a timecode location, or create grids from a range. Areas before the grid start are shown with negative bar|beat values. You can set a grid from a selected time range and set the start point and number of measures so that tempo is automatically calculated.
Musical tempo grid lines are labeled with bars, beats and note durations. A counter location of "003|03|09" indicates a grid location of "bar 3, beat 3, and nine 16th notes."

Voice isolation processing

The Fairlight page now has a new DaVinci Neural Engine AI-based core effects process that appears in the Inspector or as a floating plug-in window. This processing can remove loud, undesirable sounds from existing voice recordings. You could literally remove a jackhammer from a recording, leaving only the voice. Voice isolation can be very effectively for general purpose noise or room sound reduction/removal - including air conditioning, traffic, generator or motor noise, echoes and reverbs, undesired room sound, and other background sounds.

The voice isolation effect is one of two Fairlight track effects (the other being the dialogue leveler), accessible from the inspector. Under the audio tab, you can enable voice isolation for selected mono and stereo clips and tracks in the Fairlight, edit and cut pages. For tracks, it can also be enabled from the track FX section in the Fairlight mixer.

There are two controls: effect on/off and an "Amount" control (0-100%). Using just a bit less than 100% can create a more natural result.
Supported as an effect in mono and stereo tracks and clips.
Live audio input cannot be used; the sound source must be on disk.
Note: Voice isolation is not suitable for anything other than the human voice, and primarily useful for dialogue processing.

Fairlight FX Dialogue leveler

The dialogue leveler allows for very useful improvements to dialogue recordings without the need for tedious level adjustment (clip gain or automation curves) or the artifacts of compression or expansion.

Use the dialogue leveler for dialogue recordings that are partially off mic, or have multiple people in a scene at different volumes, differing levels are too extreme, etc, to get extremely even and natural results, while maintaining the perspective of the original balance. The overall effect allows dialogue levels that originally jump out or are near inaudible to sit well in the final mix.

The dialogue leveler (like the voice isolation effect) can be enabled from the inspector and the track FX section in the Fairlight mixer.

The dialogue leveler's controls include:

An on/off switch.
4 presets optimized for different dialogue types. The default ("Optimize most sources") works for most material.
3 module switches that allow to further tailor the response to your source material.
An output level control with up to 6 dB of gain.
