So I tried to convert them to other various formats - so far I've tried all built-in presets from VLC and a few other manuals, as well as some other using ffmpeg, but every time either the file just cannot be dragged-n-dropped to resolve, or when it is it just shows as unplayable (No preview, and play button does nothing).Īt this point, I am a bit puzzled and am wondering whether or not I might have missed something else preventing me to play stuff altogether in Resolve. After checking my source clips, it appears they're in H264.

So I searched a little bit in the forums here, and discovered that H264 isn't supported on Linux. They were created by some screen capture tool (nVidia Geforce Experience on Windows) and unfortunately they aren't played back by Resolve. Now that Resolve starts properly, I've been trying to import some videos I have. I would suggest to the dev team that they package either a snap or an AppImage, as both formats allow to embed dependencies and circumvent the necessity on relying on the user system's dependencies for most of them. My name is Pierre, I'm discovering Resolve as a hobbyist and have no intent to get serious about it - that being said I want something that is accurate and has meaningful features - I tried many other Linux products and didn't get satisfied.Īfter tinkering a bit around, I was able to get Resolve to start on my distro (It's a Xubuntu 18.04).
