DaVinci Resolve 14

Post by CrocoDuck »

Hi guys,

This isn't exclusively music/audio related, but audio/video. And actually, I am not an expert in any of this. I just stumbled across this on the internet and I though that maybe someone here could be interested, so I am dropping the link below.

It is a video editor which has been released also for Linux. There are two versions, one of which is free. Worth a try, I guess.

Wow, that really looks cool 229 GBP for the upsell seems pretty reasonable.

Thanks for posting the link, CrocoDuck. I found a ubuntu install video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bEyGhm9Gj8

The installer document indicates it's mainly Centos based, preferably
with the official nVidia driver, and even has an iso to burn
your own Centos dvd, presumably with Davinci installed, if I read it right...BUT>>> the dvd installer
wipes ALL connected drives, so make sure to make sure you've made sure :wink:
The hundreds of Centos musicians here, have been warned :)

This a how-to-install for ubuntu, text version, a bit easier to follow than the video.

And a linux-specific install forum topic. and more install steps for some:

From the developer team, March 2017

"Resolve has to have the NVIDIA driver installed to run. So the NVDIA driver needs to replace the Nouveau driver. Google can help with those details. Not sure this is your issue, but it would be the first thing to check if Resolve doesn't run. In a command line terminal window, type: nvidia-settings then press <ENTER>
If nothing happens, you don't have the NVIDIA driver installed, and for sure Resolve won't run. "

(I'm assuming this is still the case, much more to read)

Bottom of the page linked above, Mint 18 user Sulu Kokki presents a long post for Mint users
to fully install Reasolve, and perhaps others will find useful links and helps.

Greetings,

There is a further matter with nVidia before you can use Resolve. The software requires the libcuda dependency which is not available for all nVidia chipsets, so you'll need to check if your GPU/driver is supported. My GeForce 210 is not, despite nvidia-settings reporting 16 CUDA cores, so using Resolve is out for me until I upgrade my video board.

Best,

dp
