I have to consider Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve to be a virus hub that is probably selling access to

You're welcome to consider it such, but that doesn't make it so.
BMD is a rather old and respected company, if you're concerned about the open ports in their _free_
software you're welcome not to use it. Or welcome to block those ports ...
I did. The program crashes on launch.

I did that. The support people don't know anything. They don't even know video.
Right in some BMD notes for v19--

Firewall exceptions and appropriate port forwarding will need to be manually configured in order to
use this mode. The procedure to initiate a session and accept connections remains the same. This
mode uses TCP server port 16410 and TCP/UDP port 16411, 16412, etc. for each client.
(Took me a only a few minutes to find that.)
They also use some ports for collaboration and probably for license management; can't blame them for
that, can we?
Outbound ports are fine. Inbound ports are not fine.
Before quickly trashing some well-respected software, please do a little
research.
I did. That's why I decided not to use it.
z!
