Davinci Resolve (Studio) Beta 3 now supports Lumix Raw Files​

I just tried it out, it works quite nice (I still have a lot to find out), but because I'm already a Davinci Resolve Studio user so i'm a happy camper right now.
Note: I understand that If you use the free version you might have some resolution limits, but for studio users this is not a issue ofcourse.

I used a photo from last year as a test:

• Panasonic DC-S5M2X
• LUMIX S 28-200/F4-7.1
• 200mm
• 1/250s
• ISO 320

And on my PC atleast, it is silky silky SILKY smooth in performance

Excellent pice of news, John!! I was wondering how it is possible that the raw files from Lumix were not supported yet, bearing in mind that Blackmagic belongs to the L-Mount Alliance long ago... Have you tried to color grade photos? Do you think that it could be better than Lightroom? I am very used to merge photos in Lightroom, and I don't think that DaVinci Resolve Studio offers that already, right? For me will be a very slowly change from LR to DRS fully photo edition. I still have the DRS 20 version, I did not download the 21 yet.

Very good news. I haven't downloaded the beta version of Davinci Resolve Studio 21 yet. I usually wait until the beta is closer to the final release version, or (in this case) the final "21.0" release. That's just me. YMMV. It's great to have another option for Lumix RAW stills processing!

Thanks @Nevyn72, I don't know where I have been. DaVinci Resolve 21 looks like a fantastic release all around. I just downloaded the beta, but I likely won't get into it until I have time to give it serious attention. So many new features - my gosh. About editing photo RAW, I use photos quite a bit in video so my first thought is to do this directly in RAW. I edit both the photos and video clips in HDR, and it can sometimes be a hassle to get the same look between the two. I'm expecting there will be enough control with nodes to make this go well. I currently edit the photos in Lightroom HDR, export in a video compatible HDR format and import this into DaVinci Resolve. So there can be some back and forth, and there could be a big workflow win.
