DaVinci Resolve 21.0.4 adds Sony FX5 X-OCN support and proxy relinking

Blackmagic's fourth point release in the DaVinci Resolve 21.0.X line, 21.0.4, adds support for Sony FX5 X-OCN clips, the ability to relink proxy clips with different formats, and other tweaks.

The latest build of DaVinci Resolve 21 has just hit the Blackmagic servers. DaVinci Resolve 21.0.4 adds a few bits and pieces reflecting what's going on in the wider production ecosystem, as well as undertaking the usual bug squashing duties.

The free edition adds support for relinking proxy clips with different formats, support for additional X-OCN formats just as people start to work with the Sony FX5, the ability to use API scripting to review selected clips on the timeline and improved realtime playback on timelines with a large cache. As ever, the paid Studio version moves forward in lockstep, though without addressing an issue with H.264 software decoding on Windows (which, in truth, may not have actually been an issue with this version). 

Fusion Studio, meanwhile, improves long path length support on Windows as well as general performance and stability updates. 

As always, all downloads are available for free from Blackmagic Support. Here's the full changelog.
