Blackmagic releases DaVinci Resolve 18.6.5

The first new version of DaVinci Resolve this year, 18.6.5, adds support for Blackmagic RAW SDK 3.6.1, Sony Burano X-OCN clips, and more.

It's been a while since the last iterative release of DaVinci Resolve. Okay, it's been about two months, but given the regular releases of modern software development programs, that feels like a while. Blame Christmas and New Year.

The dev team have come back with a bang though. There are, of course, the usual welcome bug-squishing endeavours, but beyond that headline additions are support for the Blackmagic RAW SDK 3.6.1 and support for Sony Burano X-OCN clips. There is also the ability to import and export compound clips and clip markers in Open TimelineIO,  better EXR file labelling, and improved shortcut functionality for multiple clip selections. 

The full feature list is below
