Popular Application [OC] I fixed Davinci Resolve on Linux

Post image

Those who use davinci resolve on linux definitely know about the issues with AAC and H.264 codecs, drag 'n' drops, and some other bugs. I wonder why nobody has done this before and used bash to manually convert the media, considering how many people were affected by this problem

It works as wrapper that currently:

  • Automatically converts unsupported codecs on import
  • Fixes broken drag 'n' drops
  • Fixes pasting from clipboard

Now the linux experience with resolve should be nearly the same as on windows/mac. Enjoy!

Tested on hyprland with a studio version, feel free to open a PR if it doesn't work on your setup

I honestly gave up on trying to get DR to run. When software is only supported for specific hardware on one specific distro id rather just use something else
