You may have seen the major features announced in DaVinci Resolve 18.5, but there’s some others worth exploring too.
A major release like 18.5 has so many features it’s hard to cover them all.
So a video like this is a good opportunity to cover some of the noteworthy improvements that didn’t make the big headlines.
The cache manager, for example, isn’t flashy but it’s a huge quality of life improvement.
And the track reordering and controls in the Index is really cool!
