Sitting alongside the software preexisting edit page, the cut page offers a whole new, simpler way of editing with an innovative interface, that eliminates inefficiencies through features like a dual timeline, so users never have to zoom in or out on cuts again. The new DaVinci Resolve 16 now includes a revolutionary new cut page designed for editors that need to work quickly on projects like television commercials. Linux NVIDIA Drivers can be found on their website.The new simplified Cut user interface creates an ideal environment for editing faster, with intelligent tools to always maintain precise synchronization of audio and video.

You’ll find that Linux provides a similar power experience with Resolve in both 1080p or 4K and above to Windows. If you need to use consumer-grade video from say, an iPhone or Android device, or even gameplay footage, you’ll need to transcode it into an easier to manage format (DNxHD, etc., H.264 is for an end result, not editing). The main issue with Linux at the moment is that if you’re running AMD GPUs, you’ll need to download AMD’s own drivers and not the unsupported open-source ones you’d naturally gravitate to on Linux.ĪAC Audio doesn’t work either and H.265/H.264 footage is only available in the Studio version of Resolve.

To install Resolve on CentOS past the requirements, you’ll want to follow Seth Goldin’s blog. This is mostly a hold over from Blackmagic not intending Resolve to be consumer-focused back before they switched gears.

Update: CentOS is the chosen platform for post-production, as indicated to us by a Reddit user. While it does seem to work on other distros like Debian and Mint, it seems that Blackmagic have only ever really done proper tests on CentOS. As mentioned above, DaVinci Resolve on Linux is a little bit of a weird one.
