#DAVINCI RESOLVE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM WINDOWS#

The alternatives are Windows and Mac, so you can take the high way and exit through the gift shop. In the grand scheme, the issues we're talking about are small potatoes. Fortunately, Resolve does a stellar job in exchanging projects and databases between platforms.

#DAVINCI RESOLVE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM MAC#

Having said that, we're still looking to use it in parallel with a Mac port, to compensate for the lacking file format & MIDI support. Still to go flat-out on a new project with it, but looking forward to it. We call it 'The Diva'.īut when the Diva hits that window, it's been proper fast and fluid, for what we've seen so far in a multiboot system. Even when it does work, it operates in a very narrow window. That sorted, BMD gear is needed for audio output during use. One needs ffmpeg or such to transcode in and out of Resolve. In essence, the Linux Resolve as a stand-alone is problematic. Martin Schitter wrote:i still have to conclude: 'don't try it, it 's simply unusable on this platform! - if you really want to utilize resolve on linux workstations, you still have to utilize complicated virtual machine setups and the windows version, I know there are more popular grievances about the Linux port, but quite frankly, these are the grave ones. At least BMD are aware of this issue now. That dependency on English (US) language/region settings (at the expense of properly saved projects) is also less than ideal. Sorry, but the platform community guidelines are the same for all. These things make Resolve below-par Linux software. (You've pointed this one out already, Martin.) var/opt would be better, as continually writing to /opt during normal use violates the filesystem hierarchy standard.

#DAVINCI RESOLVE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE#

Hardly convenient (and that's just one step out of many pre-installation steps).įurthermore, the software defaults to /opt/resolve, and includes a disk database therein.

#DAVINCI RESOLVE LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM INSTALL#

deb install, but that (again) reflects poorly on BMD's effort on the port.įor instance, Ubuntu users (17.04 upwards, I think) need to install a library that's been dropped by Canonical as obsolete (libpng12-0). A barebones shell script written for CentOS is fine in beta, but not beyond. This is because the current solution is a mess and taints BMD's image as a quality supplier. Martin Schitter wrote:many of the reported issues here in this board are easily fixable for developers with minimal efforts. i did it in length at the past, but as long as none of the BMD developers is listening or they still deny to include all the necessary fixes in the upstream product, this simply doesn't show any sustainable consequences. I personally simply got tired to explain the necessary simple changes. sure, i really like it, if users help each other, but it shouldn't be seen as to only way to solve issues in the long run. serious feedback and reproducible bug reports about using relsolve in the real world and on widely used realistic linux setups is IMHO much more useful for more satisfaying development at the source, than most of those hacks and workarounds shared by the user community to compensate everlasting issues. and it's much more useful, if some grave flaws get fixed in a proper way by the upstream distributors, than forcing all affected users to use the same ugly hacks on and on again. Many of the reported issues here in this board are easily fixable for developers with minimal efforts. you will hardly find any important improvement concerning this operating system.

just take changelogs of all new versions since resolve for linux was released and search for the keyword 'linux'. the much more important deficiency should be seen in the fact, that BMD didn't solve any of the issues reported by users here in this thread in its release cycles. but that's just more or less negligible part of the problem. Yes - you're right! - this single thread isn't the most useful way to find the necessary answers. As you can see, because of this new users keep asking the same questions all over again. Dwayne or Peter could we please get a subsection for Linux? The topic is a bit too wide to be enclosed in one big thread.
