Da Vinci Resolve 18.5 with USD import

Between a large number of other several improvements:

Support for USD-based workflows in Fusion.

The Universal Scene Descriptor USD framework is a set of open standards for interacting, describing, saving and interpreting 3D scene information in a common collaboration format. It also defines standard plugin, renderer (including its own in-the-box Storm GPU renderer) and other framework host/client interfaces.

DaVinci Resolve and Fusion can import USD (.usdc, .usdz, .usda) 3D information including geometry, lighting, cameras, materials and animation. A new collection of USD tools has been added to Fusion allowing users to manipulate, re-light and render these USD files. The New USD toolset in Fusion includes:
• uLoader
• uMerge
• uTransform
• uCylinder Light
• uDisk Light
• uDistant Light
• uDome Light
• uRectangle Light
• uSphere Light
• uImage Plane
• uShape
• uCamera
• uRenderer

Well that’s a fairly big update, not sure how or when I’ll use it, but picking Resolve for video editing/compositing, etc is turning out to be a good choice.
