This software update adds ProRes decoding on Windows and no longer requires QuickTime 7 for Windows. Trimming and multicam performance is also improved as DaVinci Resolve 12.5.1 now uses its own native 64-bit code to read and write .mov files. In addition, new ResolveFX have been added and GPU acceleration has been improved for existing plug-ins. This update also adds support for Sony X-OCN, DNxHR 444 alpha channels, AVCHD .mts clips and more. Technical support is available via the Blackmagic Design community forums.
