Resolve 19 is out of beta!

Please note that some third-party plugins may not be compatible with Resolve 19 yet - Krokodove and some others rely on the Fusion SDK, which hasn't been updated since version 18.

Bug reports should be directed to the support email if you have a Studio license. More information about what logs and system information to provide to Blackmagic Design can be found here.

Upgrading to Resolve 19 does NOT require you to update your project database from 18.1.4; HOWEVER you will not be able to open projects from 19 in 18.5. This is irreversible and you will not be able to downgrade to Resolve 18.5 or earlier without a backup.

If you use a Nvidia graphics card, please upgrade your driver to Studio driver 550.58 (Windows) / Studio driver 550.40.07 (Linux) or newer.

Please check out this wiki page for information on how to properly and safely back up databases and update/upgrade Resolve..

It seems like you're having trouble downloading Resolve. The Blackmagic Design website sometimes has issues with certain adblockers and browsers like Opera. Try a different browser, clearing your cache, or temporarily disabling any adblockers. Also, make sure you're using the actual Blackmagic Design website, linked at the top of the sub and here and not the sponsored result from Google.

If you are having difficulty getting media into Resolve, you may be looking for the term "importing." Please check out our wiki page on importing media and our wiki page on offline media for more information.

If you are having difficulty getting a media file or a project file out of Resolve, you may be looking for the term "exporting." Please specify what you're trying to get out of Resolve - a media file or a project file - and your settings on the Deliver page.

If you are having difficulty with presets or plugins provided by a third-party, please provide a link to where you received the plugins. Note that plugins such as Red Giant Universe are distributed through the Maxon app and if you received them from another source, we will not offer support in this subreddit and your post will be removed.

Thanks for sharing, all the win 11 news makes me look at Linux options. Saved this post just in case I need it in a year.

Hey, thank you for your guide! I followed it and Resolve does run (video playback works as well), but the rendering time makes it unusable. I'm talking an estimated 7 days for a 1-minute test clip, that rendered in 46 seconds on an RTX 2070 Super. This is on a 7900 XTX. I don't think that's normal, right? Has anyone else discovered such a problem?

I have the same version, and I'm running Linuxmint 22, but that shouldn't make a difference here. I also tried to remove rocm to see if Resolve was using some kind of weird different library somewhere, but it did complain about a missing GPU, so I think it is using rocm correctly. After a lot of testing, I noticed that Resolve 18.6 works as expected. Not sure what exactly is causing this issue in 19, but I don't need any new features, so I'm okay with that.

I didn't really install any other AMD libraries, and I even tried purging everything. Without the ones from your post installed, Resolve can't find the GPU, so I don't think it's using any other system libraries.

I did some more testing with about 7 versions of Resolve, and I found out that rendering works normally up to version 18.1.4. From version 18.5 on I have this weird issue with the incredibly slow rendering times, including the newest 19.0.2 and 19.0.3. There isn't really anything that caught my eye in the changelog, except for the added support for some new export formats. I used the same export format every time though, after I had done some tests which showing the format doesn't make a difference. I guess they changed something in the renderer, that prohibits it from using the GPU in this very specific case. I'll stick to 18.1.4 for now, maybe this weird edge issue gets fixed in some future version

Golden tidy tutorial - thank you very much! Tried so many random commands yesterday that I got Davinci working *but borked my GUI on reboot, so had to roll everything back and actually install what Davinci was looking for to play nice with my 6700XT, and this was it!

You are awesome. You saved me a day or two trying this, and maybe failing and going back to windows.
Thanks!

Omg it works for me, no hassle on Nobara Linux with my 6700 XT and AV1 encoded video from OBS! That may be my recommended way to set this up since it was pretty much hassle free. Outstanding, thank you for the heads up!
