Post here and provide outputs from the above Resolve 16 and up: ~/.local/share/DaVinciResolve/logs/Ĥ. Resolve 15 and below: /opt/resolve/logs/ Location differs between Resolve versions. Log files provide a lot of useful information. Run ' ldd /opt/resolve/bin/resolve' and verify that there are no missing libraries (ldd should give no lines with 'not found' in them)ģ. Make sure you have all required libraries installed. Run resolve from a prompt ( /opt/resolve/bin/resolve) and check the output for error messagesĢ. Arch Linux testing (Author: Andrew Shark)ġ. Debian package creator a.k.a MakeResolveDeb (Author: Daniel Tufvesson) Codec support is different under Linux compared to Mac and Windows. For versions prior to 15 audio monitoring is only available using dedicated Decklink hardware. Linux system audio is only supported in version 15 and above. You will have to manually install required drivers and libraries. Installer does not handle dependencies. Extra work is needed for other Linux distributions.

Official installer is made for CentOS and RHEL only.

Please read the DaVinci Resolve manual and configuration guide. It's not like installing any other Linux application out there. That also means that the Linux release of DaVinci Resolve is a derivative of the Advanced version and is still very customized for this specialized scenario. Blackmagic Design have made the wonderful decision of also making Resolve and Resolve Studio available for Linux and those willing to take on the task of setting up a Linux workstation. Suggestions and corrections to this post are welcome! Send me a PM.ĭaVinci Resolve has been running on Linux for a very long time but only as a specialized Advanced version with dedicated Linux workstations with very strict specifications and special hardware. Please try to keep in-software issues and feature requests out of this thread. This thread is about getting Resolve and Resolve Studio running under various Linux distributions and the problems that may arise on the OS-level. Please try to keep on subject when posting. I will try to keep this first post up to date with the current progress in this area. This is the big Linux install issues thread Will do proper testing tomorrow but basic functionality including Decklink SDI I/O appears to be working fine! Thank you! This is truly wonderful! I really couldn't believe it at firstĪfter some quick 10 min tinkering I have Resolve Studio running even under Debian Stretch.
