The following is taken from the aur package

how to download the package automatically

The same could be done for the flatpak package.
If there isn't a way to install packages upon install a simple script could be created, that will download davinci-resolve on first launch (having an applet showing a text and shows progress would help here)

I have this basically working. Do you know an automated way to obtain the _downloadid for e.g. the latest Resolve (free/studio) from DaVinci though?

[pobthebuilder]

Resolve in commit 1f38d07. We now auto-download the latest Resolve, with some configurable options. Thanks very much for the hint!

AFAIK the current mechanism is not Flathub compatible as discussed here. I have asked Blackmagic (post not published yet at time of writing) to enable a direct URL. A direct URL would is the best way of getting to a reproducible build without additional complex magic required.
