The free versions has a very limited support for video decoders in all supported operating systems, but it is especially limited under Linux. The Studio version is a bit better than the free version in this regard, but it is still much worse than on Windows or OS X. Decoding and encoding limitationsīoth the Free and Studio versions have very limited support for both audio and video decoders and encoders, especially with Linux.

Unfortunately you can't easily switch between the Studio and Free version, it would be great if the Studio version would just limited the features if no license is found, but alas, it won't work.

You can find downloads of Resolve to the latest versions and also old version (great if your CPU/GPU is not up for the latest and greatest!) at Blackmagics support site, in the Latest downloads section.īe sure to pick the right version, if it has Studio in the name then you need to buy a license activation code or have the license USB dongle. Note that Resolve is not the only application using precious GPU memory, your desktop environment, X11, Firefox, etc will also be using some it. And for any GPU based features like noise reduction or effects, 4K resolution the more the better. Also GPU with at least 4-6 GB of VRAM is highly recommended for any serious work.

Make sure you have up to date GPU drivers and that your GPU is supported, minimum CUDA version is 11 or OpenCL 1.2. Other distributions shoud be just fine too. A NVIDIA GPU is highly recommended, AMD GPU should work too, but afaik, some effects are CUDA only.Īny decent Linux distribution should be OK, the officially supported distribution is a very old CentOS 7.3 but who uses something like that anymore ? Experience has shown that for example Linux Mint works perfectly, and so should any Ubuntu derived distribution.

CPU with SSE4 (So you are out of luck on older CPUs, for example Phenoms, even if specs would otherwise be just fine for SD/HD editing.)Įxperience has shown that you can work with less memory if you keep to basic features, 8-16GB memory is fine for basic cutting of Full HD footage.

NVIDIA/AMD Driver version – As required by your GPU.GPU which supports OpenCL 1.2 or CUDA 11.Minimum system requirements for Resolve on Linux, according to Blackmagic, are: The open-source drivers will not work, you do need to use proprietary NVIDIA or AMD Radeon drivers. Resolve does have some hefty hardware requirements, a powerful multi core CPU and GPU with plenty of VRAM is highly recommended, especially if working on anything higher than Full HD or using GPU specific features like noise reduction. See the documentation and examples under the installation directory in Developer/Scripting for details. The Studio version also supports scripting with Python and Lua and external encoding plugins in C++. ( And yes, I've tried replacing the ffmpeg libraries with ones that support more formats, no luck there unfortunately). (Yep, ffmpeg, the all decoding and encoding video tool. Older versions are also still available and in case your hardware or OS version is not up to the task with the latest and greatest, these might still be a good option for you.ĭaVinci Resolve is obviously not free software, open source or anything close to that, but it does use plenty of open source software internally like Qt (5.15 since 17.4 to be specific), SoX Resampler library libsoxr, OpenCV 3.4.1 and FFMPEG. The latest stable release of DaVinci Resolve 18 is version 18.0.4 and can be downloaded from the support site. Note that some of Blackmagics Hardware (Cameras, Editing keyboards) come bundled with the Studio version.If you get the USB Dongle license version you can also use Fusion, the separate Video FX suite. Also if you need to work with interlaced video, for example editing old SD PAL/NTSC videos, you need the studio version for proper interlacing handling. If you need to work with interlaced material, noise reduction and all possible video effects, then you need this paid version.

Unfortunately, even with this paid version, there are encoder and decoder limitations under Linux. Updates from major and minor versions have been free so far.

This version requires a license, either a registration code (allows two installations) or a USB license dongle (that must be connected at all times).

Studio version - Relatively cheap (~300€) version that has no limitations, all features are available.

Does not utilize a GPU as much as the paid Studio version. For many uses and users this version does pretty much everything you might need for video editing. It has some limitations on used export resolutions, available plugins and some of the more advanced features (noise reduction, effects, audio and video encoders/decoders, interlaced video handling, GPU usage).

Free version - Free to download and use.

There are two versions available of Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve, the free version and the paid studio version:
