The MainConcept Codec Plugin for DaVinci Resolve Studio fills this gap.
Right now, this popular format is not natively available in Blackmagic Design’s high-end software production tool. Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve Studio already comes with many Formats, Codecs and Types for rendering a project, but it misses some that are widely requested by users, such as AS-11 UK DPP. Depending on the project requirements, the MainConcept Codec Plugin can rescue the editor from this burden. For a specific use case, they often must work with a different application. I'd take a shot at writing it myself if I wasn't in the middle of another project.A major pain point for professional editors is that-depending on their workflow or target format-they need to switch between software tools to perform certain tasks such as rendering or transcoding. Maybe if there were an Avisynth plugin that could shuffle the YUY2 bytes to spit out UYVY? I'm grasping at straws now, sorry. Though typing out all of this has reminded me that VS is focused on planar formats, and I'm not sure if Resolve supports that, or if it's possible to output a packed format like UYVY from Vapoursynth. Someone more experienced with Vapoursynth would probably be able to help here, if they know how to use VSFS I imagine you could get 10-bit RGB out of a script easily enough. The PFM has seen rather significant changes recently, and no longer works the way it used to with the "pfm register soandso.dll" installation process, so I'm a bit out of my depth here, if you'll pardon the play on words. I know it can work with high bit depth video, and it has its own "VSFS" that's meant to be used with the Pismo File Mount package, but I haven't gotten it to work yet. As far as I know the Avisynth+ project hasn't implemented higher bit depths just yet, but Vapoursynth might work. The problem becomes getting UYVY, or 10-bit RGB, out of Avisynth. I haven't tested the other formats, but I wouldn't be surprised if they'd work.
That didn't work, but I then tried UYVY, and the clip shows up in the Resolve media manager and plays just fine. I started by assuming those are the only ones it supports for input, then opened ingoldie's sample clip in VirtualDub and resaved it as uncompressed YUY2. The Deliver tab's Codec dropdown for the AVI format lists Cineform YUV 10-bit, Uncompressed YUV 4:2:2 8-bit, Uncompressed YUV 4:2:2 10-bit, and Uncompressed RGB 10-bit.
I played around a little bit with the free Resolve 12 Beta 2, and it seems like the problem is that although Resolve supports AVI (see for more, on page 487, "File Formats Compatible With Media Management"), it only supports a few specific formats.
