Blackmagic Design Cuts DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 by 20% – Panels and Editor Keyboards Also Discounted

Blackmagic Design has started a limited-time sale that takes 20% off DaVinci Resolve Studio 21. The company ties the offer to the AI tools in the paid version and to new Apple and NVIDIA processors. Six DaVinci Resolve control panels and editing keyboards are also part of the deal, so let’s look at what the prices are and how long they last.

According to Blackmagic Design, DaVinci Resolve Studio 21 drops from $295 to $239 on the product cards of its sale page and on the DaVinci Resolve product page. The announcement text on the same sale page gives the price as US$236, which is the exact 20% figure; the buy buttons show $239. The DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel, Mini Panel, Advanced Panel, Speed Editor, Replay Editor and Editor Keyboard all get the same 20% reduction. The offer is available now from Blackmagic Design resellers worldwide and runs until Friday, November 20, 2026. The discounted keyboards and panels are available only while stocks last.

DaVinci Resolve 21 has been a major topic on CineD this year. We covered the announcement of DaVinci Resolve 21 with its new Photo page and eight new AI tools, went hands-on with IntelliSearch and CineFocus at NAB 2026, and reported on the final release as well as the 21.0.2 update. The sale arrives on the same day that Blackmagic raised prices on 36 hardware products, following an earlier round of price increases that the company also linked to memory costs.

What the Studio version adds

Blackmagic positions the sale around AI. In its words, the offer lets users “take full advantage of the massive AI performance gains on the new Apple M6 and NVIDIA RTX Spark processors”, and DaVinci Resolve Studio “includes powerful AI tools that are only available in DaVinci Resolve Studio”. These performance gains are the company’s claim; the sale page gives no figures to support them.

On the DaVinci Resolve Studio page, Blackmagic lists the DaVinci Neural Engine features of the paid version. These include facial recognition, SuperScale, Speed Warp retiming, Magic Mask for object isolation and tracking, Smart Reframe, object removal, scene cut detection and UltraNR noise reduction. For audio, the list covers AI voice isolation, the music remixer and the dialogue separator. The sale page also names stereoscopic tools, additional Resolve FX filters and Fairlight FX audio plugins, and advanced HDR grading as Studio features. The promotional graphic at the top of the sale page highlights AI SuperScale and RelightFX.

The free version of DaVinci Resolve 21 remains available. For many editors and colorists, the decision to pay comes down to whether they need specific Studio-only tools, such as UltraNR, SuperScale or the HDR grading toolset, for their delivery requirements.

Panel and keyboard prices

The hardware side of the sale covers six DaVinci Resolve control panels and editing keyboards. All prices are in US dollars, as shown on the Blackmagic sale page:

DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor: $435, now $349
DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard: $669, now $535
DaVinci Resolve Replay Editor: $559, now $445
DaVinci Resolve Micro Color Panel: $559, now $449
DaVinci Resolve Mini Panel: $2,319, now $1,855
DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel: $34,665, now $27,735

The Replay Editor and the Micro Color Panel share the same regular price of $559, but their sale prices differ by $4. In dollar terms, the largest saving is on the Advanced Panel, at $6,930. For most users, the Speed Editor and the Micro Color Panel are the most relevant entry points to hands-on editing and grading control.
