Another comment suggests the free version simply doesn't accept 10 bit input files. I use kdenlive for my limited editing and was thinking to try Davinci but that seems like a deal breaker as 10-bit is coming fast to consumer, prosumer devices.

It definitely does, at least for certain platforms and formats. https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/SupportNotes/DaVinci_...: "For macOS and Windows, DaVinci Resolve will also read most formats natively supported by the operating system."

I'm not aware of a Resolve compatibility matrix that encompasses every possible platform, host OS, and format, but it doesn't take long to just try the free version. If the Sony source doesn't work directly, I'd recommend using ffmpeg to convert a test file to ProRes before giving up.

Worst case, the $300 one-time cost is one of the best deals in commercial/professional software.
