[Peter Chamberlain]

We are pleased to announce the release of DaVinci Resolve Studio 17.1 which is available at no charge for existing customers from our support page. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/suppor ... and-fusion

Also available on the support web page is the updated DaVinci Resolve Project Server 17.1.
This software update adds support for multiple users on different workstations to open and work on the same project at the same time.

Pre-installation note
For those using DaVinci Resolve or DaVinci Resolve Studio on Windows, we strongly recommend uninstalling previous versions prior to installing 17 Public Beta 5 and higher versions. Going forward, all Fairlight, grading and editor keyboard firmware updates will be managed from the DaVinci Control Panels Setup utility.

Important information regarding database management
DaVinci Resolve 17.1 requires a database upgrade from DaVinci Resolve 16.2.7 and previous versions. We strongly recommend that you back up your existing database (both DiskDB and PostgreSQL) and then restore that database for the upgrade before upgrading to this release.
There is no database change from 17.0.
