There seems to be another missing piece:
❯ ll -l /opt/resolve/bin/BlackmagicRawAPI lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Feb 6 13:41 /opt/resolve/bin/BlackmagicRawAPI -> squashfs-root/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI
Note that "squashfs-root" in the path indicates it is a link to a file within an AppImage file system.
The fix is to modify PKGBUILD to make a symbolic link relative to bin:
- ln -s "squashfs-root/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI" "squashfs-root/bin/"
+ ln -s "../BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI" "squashfs-root/bin/"
which I fixed locally without rebuilding with this:
cd /opt/resolve
sudo rm "bin/BlackmagicRawAPI"
sudo ln -s "../BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI" "bin/"

Since DaVinci Resolve Studio cannot be installed directly via AUR helpers like
paru
oryay
, I suggest adding and pinning a clear step-by-step guide for beginners explaining how to build and install the package from the local installer.The instructions should also include how to obtain the required .zip file from the official Blackmagic Design website:
Such a guide would be helpful for users new to Arch-based systems who legally own a DRS license but are unfamiliar with manual package building.

IMPORTANT!
Since version 19.1.3-2 this package will not download automatically the source file from the upstream site.
To build this package you will need to manually download the file from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD.
This would reduce the mess in this package, making it more readable and clear. Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.
