ProRes RAW finally coming to Resolve?

I didn't catch it while streaming the Apple keynote earlier, but apparently they mentioned that its ProRes RAW capture (I did hear that and I approve, but I just bought a 16 Pro last year so it'll be at least a couple more years before I get a newer iPhone) would also work in Blackmagic Camera.  So at least on the capture side, it seems like their allergy to PRR is fading.

IBC starts this week.  Dare we hope for an announcement for new input codec support in Resolve?  At this point, it seems silly that they would capture it and then refuse to edit it.

Na never, they are format standard competitors

Not really.  Blackmagic does not seem to have any interest in supporting BM Raw outside of their own cameras and recorders.  ProRes RAW, on the other hand, is now used at least in cameras from Panasonic and DJI, and apparently, their own camera app on iPhone.

By that logic, they also shouldn't support Canon raw or Nikon raw since they are also ostensibly competitors.

The historical reason was that they didn't support it because they hate Atomos, which I get, and the format was primarily recorded by Atomos recorders.  Nowadays, that use case is fading as more vendors record it directly in camera without forcing users to deal with a shitty third party.
