Yet another update to DaVinci Resolve has just dropped, taking the latest to version 21.1.1 and this time, the trim editor has been given a bit of a makeover.
Blackmagic Design is saying this is just a minor update, but I’d suggest the additions to audio support in the trimmer will please a lot of people – me included.
The major one is the option to perform edits on audio only in the trimmer in addition to editor mouse based edit actions now include audio previews.

Blackmagic says that for DaVinci Resolve 21.1.1, it has taken efforts to keep the project libraries compatible with DaVinci Resolve 20.3.2. While this allows you to access the project library with 20.3.2, individual projects created or opened in 21.1.1 will no longer be accessible in 20.3.2 and they recommend a full project library backup as well as individual project backups before opening projects in 21.1.1.
