Yeah. I've been using Resolve on Windows for a while now, and it's absolutely great. On Windows though you have far better codec support in the free version. So I tried Resolve on POP OS, but it was instantly a no go for me.. For now I'm still editing my videos in Windows.
Since you do a lot of cutting, I think that you could also try setting up keyboard shortcuts for ripple delete backwards and forwards - that makes editing so much quicker
Looking at the commercial version of Davinci Resolve Studio, you also get the Speed Editor console for that $295 USD cost. It's not just the software, and the dedicated control surface can make editing that much more enjoyable. I see that as a much better value than the Adobe Premier package, and entirely justifiable.
The speed editor can be a hunk of junk. When ever I want to edit my battery is flat as there is no off button, so you end up using it wired. Clearly designed by an apple user.
But they will take LONG........................................................................ TIME time to do anything. It still doesn't have good gpu support. It has less features than davinci resolve and it is less professional. Unlike gimp, I couldn't find many plugins for kdenlive.
As for the Davinci Resolve shortcut (.desktop entry file) solution, I think you can you can edit the .desktop file, on the Exec field, fill with `sh -c 'progl /opt/resolve/bin/resolve'`. Which the idea is to make that shortcut to run that command instead of simply calling the resolve binary. The line would be Exec=sh -c 'progl /opt/resolve/bin/resolve' The desktop entry files are usually on `/usr/share/applications` or `~/.local/share/applications`. Like 4 hours ago I just found this solution to make my shortcuts run with a custom paramenter and environment variables.
I knew Resolve because I was the one in charge of color grading in my college (some promo videos, short movies, etc.) with premiere as the main editor. However, Resolve 16 changed it all, it suddenly became a good video editor, and it is much more stable than premiere (don't get me wrong, premiere is still better overall, especially with the aftereffect, but I'm not that professional anyway.)
Well, Kdenlive has lot of missing features (auto tracking, better border between clips, experimental GPU rendering and playback) but Kdenlive is more lightweight than DaVinci Resolve and takes less space. Kdenlive in my opinion is better for basic video editing and Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro for professional editing
I really tried to replicate your kdenlive issues, but no matter what, I was not able to. Possibly those bugs have been fixed (running version 21.12). Yes, resolve runs a little better due to gpu acceleration implemented properly, but the hassle converting everything in the first place eliminates that advantage for me.. both are great, but I will stick to kdenlive for now..
I've also recently moved from Kdenlive to DaVInci Resolve. Luckily I have an Nvidia card so it works pretty seamlessly. Just a tip to make the conversions easier: You can link a bash script file to the right-click action in the file explorer, to just click on any video clip and convert it on the fly (even from within DaVinci). Studio version sorts out the video codec and size, but you still need to convert from AAC to PCM audio codec.
Now try to use chroma key over a green screen. In Kdenlive it's done in 5 seconds. With Davinci, well... it took me so long to learn the whole process again and again (you need to make a node and then manipulate it which for me is hell). The chroma key is the main reason why I didn't move to Davinci. And I LOVE Kdenlive (except for its crashes, but it taught me to use the ctrl-s every 10 secs).
Hi, nice video!!! I saw a little wierd effect at 14:50. When your cam slide out on the right bottom corner, there is something transparent in the left bottom 😉
It is a probably a DaVinci bug. If looks like that it is his cam view that just moved out of the right side and enter again on the left side (just very transparent and mirrored left-right). You will be always able to find bugs in such large software projects. There is no bug free software an the market. Coders guess, that in software that you can buy and/or download that in every 1000 lines of code there is in average 1 bug included.
I'd love to have a full tutorial on running Resolve on Linux. I can live with limited gaming if I'm switching permanently... but I can't make a living without resolve. By the way. Instead of spending the 300 USD on a Resolve Studio licence. Buy the hardware, the "Speed editor" device works wonders on the 'Cut' tab and will seppr-up your workflow A LOT. It costs the same as the licence alone AND comes with a licence... so two for the price of one.
Rendering in kdenlive for me is a pain especially for videos over 15 minutes. I found it so frustrating to spend so much time editing and when it’s finally done I can’t render it.
I'm impressed at how prolific you are with your videos. As a long time Linux user and distro hopper ( 22 years ) is recommend you just an LTS distro (i.e. Kubuntu for example which is somewhat older libraries but tested heavily) so that you don't experience these glitches.
Although it's free, I don't think there is anything wrong with expecting the product to work as advertised. Bugs and features are different. Open source doesn't exempt it from criticism.
Kdenlive is great. Personally I wanted something more professional when it came to video editing. Lightworkers was great though I thought I'd give DaVinci a go.
Just getting it to work is so much hassle? Should've tried Shotcut first... Maybe enough people paying $300 for FOSS video editors would fix those bugs faster. Problem is that most FOSS projects aren't run in a sustainable way that lets them improve. They just want to do it in their spare time and rely on donations which most users don't give. Unless FOSS starts asking users to pay up for extra premium features, templates, etc I don't see the situation getting fixed. Why is FOSS developers requiring payment treated as blasphemy? Don't they and their kids need to eat? Don't we want them to work full time on the projects and make them superior to proprietary alternatives?
usually if i want slide i'd just set key frame and move it using the transform tool you used, pretty easy and not really messy though im nearly 10 month late so it might not have been viable back then
As someone who's used only linux on his machine, I had to give in a year ago to getting a desktop with a GPU for windows.. I have used opensource software for my personal stuff but realized they can't stand the rigors and pressure of business needs (Photoshop vs Gimp, Rawtherapee vs LR, Blender video editor vs DaVinci resolve etc ).. Windows to the rescue although I still use my linux laptop for personal stuff where Gimp/rawtherapee lives and was considering Kdenlive as my multiple attempts to get resolve running on my laptop without a GPU ( just an integrated cpu/gpu ) failed. So running 2 computers with a KVM switch : a good ole linux laptop and a windows desktop with a GTX 3070.. I think that's one of the compromise we make using linux
1st question I have about your Kdenlive experience is how has it been for you regarding hardware rendering? I have struggled to get anything even close to reasonable performance out of it using my Radeon 5500xt. Every video I render I end up having to do in software (CPU only). I also have experienced a lot of the glitches you describe. I might have to go the Resolve route and just transcode my video files on the fly to something the free version will support (I really hate to do that though...just more time that I have to take in video production).
I am novice and new to video editing. I am only using kdenlive. I never noticed such an audio glitch in my videos nor an transformation glitch (But I do simply effects only). A long list of know bugs doesn't automatically mean that the software is bad. If you watch the bug list of AMD and Intel CPUs or if you watch the bug list of gcc or clang compiler (all 4 are running on billions of computers every day), you will see that those bug lists also contains several 100 bugs. Just because many commercial software tools hide their bug lists from the public it doesn't mean that they don't exists. If you know that you sadly do (sometimes) bugs (a few black seconds in the video, ...) and you noticed it after you finally rendered the video, then your workflow is wrong. You should watch and check your video BEFORE rendering. If you only render, because you have a quality team/guy that checks the video, then an very easy variant is to render it for im in lower resolution and with "faster" settings. So they can check for wrong sentences, wrong cuts, ...
I used Vegas, PP, resolve, olive, Blender and Kdenlive. KL has been on linux, my most used editor. I noticed some bugs where I try to import a file in the timeline and other media in the timeline would disappear. So I might go back to vse or olive. I don't mind paying for software but I don't want to pay for something that isn't going to work for me in the long run. Might give it a shot again and see how it is.
Nice content. It would be awesome if u could post an installation tutorial for ubuntu or pop os using amd gpus. Huge fan btw. I'm a nubi linux user and ur channel helped me a lot.
Couple of tips, instead of browsing all the effects panel, you have a star, use it and will add your favorite effect to favorites, ez to locate and ez to implement, also you don't need a 10 bit depth, with a 8-bit your more than enough to make it to youtube btw what distro are you using?
Purchased the Studio Version with the Speed Editor. Even though i used vegas pro for 11 Years i really like davinci resolve. Still can't understand how someone prefer premiere pro over vegas pro.
Hello TechHut. Je suis sur Ubuntu et fais du montage avec ShotCut. J'ai cherché à installer DaVinci Resolve sur mon ordinateur équipé d'un processeur AMD Athlon et d'une carte graphique AMD Radeon, DaVinci se lance puis m'affiche un message "Mode de traitement GPU non pris en charge" et quitte. J'ai fais des recherches pour résoudre le truc mais sans succès pour l'instant. Donc j'ai trouvé KdenLive que je découvre tout juste. Merci pour ces tutos 👍
You also don't have to transcode the video. You can just extract the audio portion and make them flac files along side the original files this is WAY faster.
One thing to point out. The missing codecs on the free version is Linux only. Windows and macOS allow you to use h.264/mp4 on the free version. My only guess as to why is probably because of what you mentioned before about license fees. Microsoft and Apple probably pays for those so BlackMagic can implement them, but for us Linux users, we have to deal with the burden because it's a free and open source system. Don't take my word for it, I'm just speculating lol
Sure wish the DaVinci install and supported linux distribution was more "universal" ... I use my laptop for other things and don't want to run the supported version of linux. Wish they'd just do an appimage for install. Good show
Please do the AMD resolve video. In the past I did get it to work with an AMD graphics card by luck mainly. And you are right if you have a Nvidia card it just works with no hassle.
i've always wanted to use resolve but it seems that everyone has problems with getting the executable to even run let alone fix issues when it does run.
I can't open davinci resolve in Linux!! I've been trying to switch from kdnlive to resolve for a while, but I tried in zorin, ubuntu mate and linux mint, in different computers, and davinci simply does not open
For some reason, possibly hardware, I don't have your issues with Kdenlive. I have found over the years that Linux and software that runs on it, are easier using AMD and STI graphics cards. Currently mine is a AMD Ryzen 9, STI card, 128 Gb SDRAM, and a 2 Tb Seagate Firecuda SSD. So far Kdenlive has worked flawlessly out of the gate.
Kdenlive from the beginning has been held together with bubblegum and string. But if you get it to work, don't touch it --and it will be great, faster than alternatives. But it requires dozens of little tricks to make it work well, and the tricks depend on your particular setup, so you need to invest a full weekend to configure it to your liking and without crashes, and after that hope no update breaks it again.
hey when I import video in resolve the sound is not there only videos, any tips to resolve this. If I import mp3 audio separately it works. use zorin Linux.
Were you able to import your mp4 files and replay them directly in DaVinci Resolve without having to re-encode them? My problem is, that my mp4 videos (recorded on a GoPro Hero Black 11) just won't play in DaVinci, neither video nor audio, unless I transcode them with ffmpeg into a .mov This is tiredsome and also costs additional disk space (making them sometimes even twice as large as the original mp4 files). Is this a common problem, or am I missing some specific drivers on my Arch Linux? It seems to work out of the box with Kdenlive though....and also VLC and all other installed videoplayers have no problem playing them. Could this be related to the free version of DaVinci, since it might be missing some important codecs for mp4 playback? Thank you for the video, it has helped me understand DaVinci a lot :)
I went from Resolve to Kdenlive because I was sick of forking out for a new computer every 12 months when resolve would refuse to recognise my GPU. The software is free but the computer has to be upgraded at a cost to keep up with the processing speed.
using kdenlive i can not figure out for the life of me how to use several of the same video clips without it looking seamless. how the heck do I make this work how i expect it to
I liked davinci on windows, but on Linux, they gutted the free version, and request I download a proprietary gpu driver so they can lock it... Also, no h.264 codecs unless you pay them $300/y Not doing that.
They officially support Redhat and CentOS only. Fedora is easier to install because it is close to Redhat. Same goes for Autodesk products. However, few commercial software only provides Deb package like Bitwig Studio.
you still have to transcode the audio even with the paid version of resolve. it's much much faster tho. AAC audio not supported as of yet. I've heard resolve was ported to Linux for Pixar (or at least that is their primary client on that platform).
Well you had me convinced to switch until you got to the 50gb files for a 10 min video and you have to pay $300 bucks to overcome that. Then you hit me with the hardware thing. While I so use Arch I have 5 year junk from eBay that is will most likely won't use either... :-( With that said I see spending that if you have the hardware to run it and it is mission critical software. I don't do much editing so No, I don't need this even if my hardware was good enough... :-) thanks for the video! LLAP
I believe it is. I never tried to import an .mp4 file from obs to resolve, but cant think of a reason why it wouldnt work. Just set obs to record in common .mp4.
I prefer Resolve over Kden but the issues with Davinci on Linux is just there's so much from the Windoes version that's missing from the Linux version. Why must a Natively Linux made program need to be so buggy and broken on Linux? Answer is it was made on Fedora a corpo made distro that's basically spyware now
Studio version can import h264/h265 video in Linux version. However, AAC codec is not supported. You use PCM for that. So h264/h265 video with pcm audio will import just fine. There is a free x264 plugin for Resolve Studio version. But you have to install it manually. Blackmagic Design provides a codec plugin SDK, with which you can also build x265 plugin yourself. Mainconcept also sell additional codec plugin for Resolve. It is available for all 3 OS.
A lot has changed since this video was uploaded. Check out my follow-up th-cam.com/video/vPySszLuJC8/w-d-xo.html
I will be watching the follow up. Great video. Gi normus file size sounds bad. lol I subscribed. God bless.👍
Yeah. I've been using Resolve on Windows for a while now, and it's absolutely great. On Windows though you have far better codec support in the free version.
So I tried Resolve on POP OS, but it was instantly a no go for me.. For now I'm still editing my videos in Windows.
It’s a huge jump in useability.
Since you do a lot of cutting, I think that you could also try setting up keyboard shortcuts for ripple delete backwards and forwards - that makes editing so much quicker
*more quickly
Good job !! yes it would be interesting to see the installation of davinci resolve
Looking at the commercial version of Davinci Resolve Studio, you also get the Speed Editor console for that $295 USD cost. It's not just the software, and the dedicated control surface can make editing that much more enjoyable. I see that as a much better value than the Adobe Premier package, and entirely justifiable.
The speed editor can be a hunk of junk. When ever I want to edit my battery is flat as there is no off button, so you end up using it wired. Clearly designed by an apple user.
If you are considering buying DaVinci, I would also ask you to donate for kdenlive.
But they will take LONG........................................................................ TIME time to do anything. It still doesn't have good gpu support. It has less features than davinci resolve and it is less professional. Unlike gimp, I couldn't find many plugins for kdenlive.
Hi! In the free version of Resolve, it also supports MP4 files. In OBS Studio to output an MP4 go to Settings > Output > Set recording format to MP4
Bit late, but this isn't true on linux.
As for the Davinci Resolve shortcut (.desktop entry file) solution, I think you can you can edit the .desktop file, on the Exec field, fill with `sh -c 'progl /opt/resolve/bin/resolve'`. Which the idea is to make that shortcut to run that command instead of simply calling the resolve binary.
The line would be
Exec=sh -c 'progl /opt/resolve/bin/resolve'
The desktop entry files are usually on `/usr/share/applications` or `~/.local/share/applications`.
Like 4 hours ago I just found this solution to make my shortcuts run with a custom paramenter and environment variables.
Once you update it, it will reset.
I knew Resolve because I was the one in charge of color grading in my college (some promo videos, short movies, etc.) with premiere as the main editor. However, Resolve 16 changed it all, it suddenly became a good video editor, and it is much more stable than premiere (don't get me wrong, premiere is still better overall, especially with the aftereffect, but I'm not that professional anyway.)
You should try blender as a video editor (as an experiment), good ui docs and customizable themes
that seems unnecessarily painful
No way.
I hate the way blender does video editing. I used it once for color grading before I switched to davinci resolve and it was pure pain.
Well, Kdenlive has lot of missing features (auto tracking, better border between clips, experimental GPU rendering and playback) but Kdenlive is more lightweight than DaVinci Resolve and takes less space. Kdenlive in my opinion is better for basic video editing and Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro for professional editing

Davinci Resolve's free version do not support GPU Accelerated Rendering. But Kdenlive do support GPU Acceleration for rendering videos.
Now try to use chroma key over a green screen. In Kdenlive it's done in 5 seconds.

glad to see your channel growth...keep going brother..i always appreciate your work and videos also i do recommend your videos to my friends

09:58 Request for the video "to get the software working" would be very interesting and fun to watch therefore yes please, Brandon 😊

Very interesting video! I was thinking about using resolve, but, honestly, seeing this just makes me want to stick with kdenlive.
I'd like to switch to Resolve, but the need to convert everything to big MOV files annoys me more than bugs in KDEnlive at this moment.
Is this still necessary?
Although it's free, I don't think there is anything wrong with expecting the product to work as advertised. Bugs and features are different. Open source doesn't exempt it from criticism.
I edit my videos on blender with power sequencer
Good to know ☺️
Now that really is using a sledgehammer to crack a nut 😂
Kdenlive is great. Personally I wanted something more professional when it came to video editing. Lightworkers was great though I thought I'd give DaVinci a go.
To deliver in non-Apple OS, it is best to render out as a H264 or H265 to compress the output size. Both are industry standards.
Just getting it to work is so much hassle? Should've tried Shotcut first... Maybe enough people paying $300 for FOSS video editors would fix those bugs faster.
Problem is that most FOSS projects aren't run in a sustainable way that lets them improve. They just want to do it in their spare time and rely on donations which most users don't give.

Why is FOSS developers requiring payment treated as blasphemy? Don't they and their kids need to eat? Don't we want them to work full time on the projects and make them superior to proprietary alternatives?
What's your thought about Shotcut Video Editor and why don't you use it
usually if i want slide i'd just set key frame and move it using the transform tool you used, pretty easy and not really messy though im nearly 10 month late so it might not have been viable back then
So far I think blender has been the best video editor for me it runs in almost anything and it has lots of features and runs well
does it support h264 videos off the bat?
Same here!
Except it is more complicated to use, it is quite a steep learning curve.
As someone who's used only linux on his machine, I had to give in a year ago to getting a desktop with a GPU for windows.. I have used opensource software for my personal stuff but realized they can't stand the rigors and pressure of business needs (Photoshop vs Gimp, Rawtherapee vs LR, Blender video editor vs DaVinci resolve etc ).. Windows to the rescue although I still use my linux laptop for personal stuff where Gimp/rawtherapee lives and was considering Kdenlive as my multiple attempts to get resolve running on my laptop without a GPU ( just an integrated cpu/gpu ) failed.

Thank you for the great video! Could you share your small .sh text files for converting mkv and mp4 files for DaVinci?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. You can do the slide effect through transition only in kdenlive. This won't give you the glitch.
I am novice and new to video editing. I am only using kdenlive. I never noticed such an audio glitch in my videos nor an transformation glitch (But I do simply effects only).
A long list of know bugs doesn't automatically mean that the software is bad. If you watch the bug list of AMD and Intel CPUs or if you watch the bug list of gcc or clang compiler (all 4 are running on billions of computers every day), you will see that those bug lists also contains several 100 bugs.

hey good weekend Sir,nice video...
Nice content. It would be awesome if u could post an installation tutorial for ubuntu or pop os using amd gpus. Huge fan btw. I'm a nubi linux user and ur channel helped me a lot.
Use the LTS Version. AMD has only support for them so far if younger interested in using AMD pro drivers
Couple of tips, instead of browsing all the effects panel, you have a star, use it and will add your favorite effect to favorites, ez to locate and ez to implement, also you don't need a 10 bit depth, with a 8-bit your more than enough to make it to youtube btw what distro are you using?
Purchased the Studio Version with the Speed Editor. Even though i used vegas pro for 11 Years i really like davinci resolve. Still can't understand how someone prefer premiere pro over vegas pro.
what about shotcut, cinelerra, openshot, blender, or trying other kdenlive versions?
Please make the davinci guide.. I cannot remove my windows dual boot (would love to) because of this.
Waiting for it..
I think Blackmagic added MKV support in 17.3 if I'm not mistaken.
Warts and all I still prefer kdenlive. It works out of the box, and you can use any format you like. Plus the price is right. Thanks for the video

Have you even tried Olive video Editor?

How is the audio clipping bug still a thing? I stopped using Kdenlive for the same bug like a decade ago.
Wtf?!?
Kdenlive from the beginning has been held together with bubblegum and string. But if you get it to work, don't touch it --and it will be great, faster than alternatives.

Why not blender for video editing
I went from Resolve to Kdenlive because I was sick of forking out for a new computer every 12 months when resolve would refuse to recognise my GPU. The software is free but the computer has to be upgraded at a cost to keep up with the processing speed.
Have you reviewed Lightworks?
Resolve work fine with proprietary Nvidia Drivers on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
My gpu is RTX 2060s.
Audio recording didn't work. But I use audacity.
Thank You, bro!
Nice video!

TechHut I would sacrifice my first-born for a benchmark comparison between the top braggart OSs: gentoo vs void vs arch or artix
Hmmm 🤔🤔
Davinci Resolve works on Nobara distro out of the box with RX580.
Cannot make it run on any other distro.
Does resolve have trouble with amd CPU and GPU? If so,do you have any tips to help make it less painful?
Really good video.
I other words, it probably will run smoothly in Manjaro too, right? I'm using RX6700 XT and Ryzen 5 5600x CPU btw.
using kdenlive i can not figure out for the life of me how to use several of the same video clips without it looking seamless. how the heck do I make this work how i expect
it to
I liked davinci on windows, but on Linux, they gutted the free version, and request I download a proprietary gpu driver so they can lock it...
Also, no h.264 codecs unless you pay them $300/y
Not doing that.
Have u tried olive??
Just subscribed to your Channel.
Are these problems still persistent with your KDENLive use and sesions?
Still seeing those black lines?
Have you ever use Shotcut
In my opinion, I don't really like the Clip Monitor... and I can't get Speech To Text working
I don't really understand why Resolve don't work directly and completely under Debian?
A stable environment on a stable machine. Our thoughts ?
They officially support Redhat and CentOS only. Fedora is easier to install because it is close to Redhat. Same goes for Autodesk products. However, few commercial software only provides Deb package like Bitwig Studio.
@@JahidulIslam ok thanks for your answer
you still have to transcode the audio even with the paid version of resolve. it's much much faster tho. AAC audio not supported as of yet. I've heard resolve was ported to Linux for Pixar (or at least that is their primary client on that platform).
Resolve existed on Linux and mac (probably) before as turn key solution. It was ported to windows last.
Yea I believe Resolve was Linux first
Yes please to show setting for DaVinci
I couldn't find even one video editor to work on Ubuntu. They all had bugs that made them useless.
Well you had me convinced to switch until you got to the 50gb files for a 10 min video and you have to pay $300 bucks to overcome that. Then you hit me with the hardware thing. While I so use Arch I have 5 year junk from eBay that is will most likely won't use either... :-(
With that said I see spending that if you have the hardware to run it and it is mission critical software. I don't do much editing so No, I don't need this even if my hardware was good enough... :-)
thanks for the video!
LLAP
Wish they packaged it as a Flatpak.
I'd appreciate a short video on getting Resolve to work on Linux. I've still not managed to do it on Arch.
I second that, especially with Intel GPU
Those file sizes are an absolute deal breaker lol...
CHUNGUS
I am no way waiting days to upload 64gb video file lol
Unfortunately, it was too complicated to install and run Resolve in my linux environment so I even didn't try it.
Is there a way to record in obs with a format that would have no problems in davinci resolve without converting files?
I believe it is. I never tried to import an .mp4 file from obs to resolve, but cant think of a reason why it wouldnt work. Just set obs to record in common .mp4.
@@loftypancake It doesn't work like that in the Linux version, only in the paid version, or you have to convert.
@@linuxify oh, okay. I once thought of installing the linux version, found it instantly too time consuming and gave up :D
The .mov file size is a no go for me, will stick with Kdenlive, have Win 10 and Linux Mint versions, prefer Mint.
I prefer Resolve over Kden but the issues with Davinci on Linux is just there's so much from the Windoes version that's missing from the Linux version. Why must a Natively Linux made program need to be so buggy and broken on Linux? Answer is it was made on Fedora a corpo made distro that's basically spyware now
Couldn't install Davinchi on pop OS , but on windows working fine.
can it work on almalinux os centos alternative?
I use kdenlive only to do quick, simple edits in my slow laptop. Much faster than resolve. Other than that, i would use resolve.
DaVinci only works for me if I have one specific GPU driver installed. Linux gets confused as too which GPU to use.
can't DaVinci Resolve load Vapoursynth scripts? maybe that way you don't have to convert them to lossy every time you want to work on a video.
Hey TechHut, what GNU/Linux distro you use and what is your DE? KDE?
Right now I'm on EndeavourOS with Gnome. Usually in KDE, but forcing myself to use it for a few and after a few weeks I'm liking it.
@@TechHut - COuld u post a review of ShotCut ? Do consider ....
Also have u tried Linux Mint ? Its been a top tier Linux Distro for years now ?
How do you get it to edit video files that are not .MOV?
Studio version can import h264/h265 video in Linux version. However, AAC codec is not supported. You use PCM for that. So h264/h265 video with pcm audio will import just fine. There is a free x264 plugin for Resolve Studio version. But you have to install it manually. Blackmagic Design provides a codec plugin SDK, with which you can also build x265 plugin yourself. Mainconcept also sell additional codec plugin for Resolve. It is available for all 3 OS.
For me Resolve even doesn't work on Linux. Ubuntu 12.04. Asked my friend on another distribution to try, same thing..
I believe that pop os has support for Resolve.
