Download and installation
The Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve 19 Beta 6 release is available for Windows (x86, ARM), macOS, and Linux platforms. It is a free download available on the Blackmagic Support page.
Remember that as a beta release, some features may become unstable or not work at all, and users should report any bugs when using it. Moreover, the latest Blackmagic Desktop Video software for monitoring with BMD video hardware is also required.
As always, users are advised to avoid installing a beta release while within an existing project, as it could prevent downgrading project files to the current, reliable release. Users are also advised to completely back up their project files before installing and using the update.
