Blackmagic Design continues to fine-tune DaVinci Resolve to expand support for more cameras and file formats, including support for Nikon Raw. With improved stability for 3D renders in Fusion, DaVinci also adds a preset for Sony’s IMF renders which should make Venice users really happy.
As part of their regular free upgrade, Blackmagic is making it easier for Nikon content creators to operate their workflows with Nikon Raw, even though Nikon has yet to release the codec for use out in the wild. The sign that Blackmagic is making this move, however, indicates that Nikon Raw’s release may be imminent.

The DaVinci 17.4.6 update is available for free now through Blackmagic’s support page. However, while the free version does enable unlimited resolution options, Blackmagic limits the workflow to single GPU processing in Windows and 2 GPUs for macOS.
Additionally, output rendering can only be saved to 4K Ultra HD. Technical support for the free version of DaVinci Resolve 17 is also only available through the Blackmagic Design community forums.
Users who wish to push the limits with higher camera resolutions and heavier GPU workloads may want to upgrade to Blackmagic Studio. Available in Windows, macOS, and Linux Versions.
