This is something I think about regularly: the limited list of available Resolve export file formats.
I just came across this on a website talking about Premiere Pro: "Adobe Photoshop is a graphics tool used by 98 percent of all video editors. Fortunately, Adobe has also integrated a lot of Photoshop's image handling features into Adobe Premiere Pro. You can import most formats, including JPEG, TIFF, PNG, and PSD files." And one can also easily write out media in those formats as well.
98% of all video editors is a funny claim, but it **is** true that Premiere can both read and write nearly any conceivable file format. And sometimes I wish I could write out JPEG image sequences in Resolve just as easily as I can already write out TIFF files.
I heavily use JPEG proxies in my own VFX pipeline and being able to write those out of Resolve would be a big boon. It would also remove one more item from the shrinking list of things Resolve **can't** do that Adobe Premiere can. Even Final Cut Pro can export JPEG image sequences.
Sure, I can set up JPEG savers on clips through Fusion, but that is a pretty inelegant solution to do something that is drop dead easy in Premiere, and would be just as easy in the delivery room of Resolve. Bottom line, I feel the entire saver list from Fusion should be available in the delivery room of Resolve. It would make the UI more uniform and would be a real improvement.
