For users still on the version 18 lifecycle, it is generally recommended to update to the final stable build of that branch (v18.6.x) or move to the newer versions for better hardware compatibility.
The 18.1.2 update primarily targeted speed and stability for professional post-production workflows:
: Improved the responsiveness of the Color page when using the Color Warper and Magic Mask tools.
: Improved general performance when handling large projects and complex timelines.
: Fixed issues with subtitle caption alignment and improved the reliability of importing SRT files.
