Is Resolve Studio V20 Stable or should I wait for V20.2

As the title says, is Resolve Studio V20 stable enough to use or am I better off waiting forV20.1 (or what ever) V20.0.1 was released 4 hours after I posted this,

I don't, so far, use Fusion much and the audio is 2-6 tracks mono and sometimes a stereo pair.

What is the verdict?
Any idea how soon V20.1 will be here?

It's a great question. I suppose with 20.0.1 just released, we'll need to wait for a bit to hear if there are any new issues. I suppose it will depend on your workflow and your hardware as to whether or not Resolve v20 is 'good enough' for production work.

Resolve 20.0.1 just came out today. It's stable.

Anyone here using Resolve v20 for production workflow in long-form content and/or documentaries and if so, what aspects of Resolve? Just grading / round-tripping to another NLE or the whole nine yards including final delivery?

XX.1 releases usually add multiple new features and associated sharp edges... I wouldn't wait for / jump in on a 'point one' release... XX.X.2 releases are usually the sweet spot for me (XX.1.2 if I'm honest), but that does mean I miss out on the new stuff for longer.

That makes sense for me. Especially with V20 as most previous versions seem to have 6 beta's over 6 months. This one had 4 beta's over 4 months and added a lot of stuff.

So waiting for 20.0.2 in 4-6 weeks time would make some sense. (I am sure there wasn't a 20.0.1 when I originally posted earlier today, I think BMD did it on purpose to discredit my post ) This release should fix the major and easier fixes. Though, as others note, they often throw up new problems. Swings and roundabouts.

BTW Software of this type is impossible to test fully. So it is a matter of risk assessment on when to jump.

How do you know it is stable?

5x longform features, including 2x feature doco in v20 so far, conform / online fixes / grade / master / festival DCP only - typicaly versioning and deliverables are done by delivery partner

no use of fusion or fairlight, minimal editing, only small tweaks to get past Qc

no major issues, a few minor with easy workarounds, a few have been sorted already with the .1 update

Thanks Dermot. Sounds like the bread and butter workflow we used back in the Avid days.

So you have no idea if it is stable.

You posted a couple of hours after it was released. There is no way you can have tested the features I, or many people, use in the way we use d them. So you have no idea if this version is stable, only that it didn't crash inthe very short time you used a few of it's features.

That is a lot of items not mentioned by many others in the forum. Though I note according to BMDs response your bug reports are "feature requests"
