Hardware accelerated VP9 decodes on Apple silicon.Support for Deep Link Hyper Encode for multiple Intel GPU systems.Support for browser based authentication for Dropbox and YouTube.The full list of enhancements are as follows:. For example encoding of the VP9 codec is now supported on M1 Macs, along with hardware encoding of Main10 4:2:2 H.265 on Apple silicon as well.


The new update doesn't add any major new features, but it does continue to bring performance enhancements across the board. Also, aperture diffraction in DaVinci Resolve Studio has new anamorphic aperture controls, allowing a wider range of lenses to be emulated.Blackmagic Design has issued a further update to its DaVinci Resolve software, bringing the version to 17.4.4. Keyer garbage mattes now have rotation controls, making it easier to remove unwanted items from view, and new saturation and gamma controls on the glow plugin allow greater control and subtlety over lighting effects. Meanwhile, new FX controls have been added, including new grid shapes and greater precision when using mosaic blur, allowing users to finely adjust the amount and appearance of pixellation. DaVinci Resolve now also decodes AVC Intra files using the media engine built into the Apple M1 chip, making decoding and playback faster when working with these file formats. It's now possible to prioritize speed or quality when rendering, with render times potentially improved by up to 65%. In addition, version 17.3 supports a new option on Mac computers with M1 for H.265 hardware encoding. The new processing engine also uses tile based rendering, which can give users on notebooks up to 30% longer battery when working in DaVinci Resolve. The speed increase should make playback, editing, and grading of 4K and 8K projects faster using the software. Thanks to the completely reworked engine, DaVinci Resolve 17.3 can work up to 3 times faster on Apple Mac models with the M1 chip, according to the company.
