IMPORTANT!

Since version 19.1.3-2 this package will not download automatically the source file from the upstream site.

To build this package you will need to manually download the file from https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/family/davinci-resolve-and-fusion and place it in the same directory with the PKGBUILD.

This would reduce the mess in this package, making it more readable and clear. Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.

Issues and bugs, please report on the official forum here: https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewforum.php?f=21&sid=239f0d5c49abe5d6a635b69638192e9a Thank you!

Visit DaVinci Resolve - ArchWiki before installing: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve

ATTENTION: Please don't flag this package as out-of-date before beta version has been released as stable!

This is a current stable Package!

The current free beta is available here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve-beta/

And for current studio beta here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/davinci-resolve-studio-beta/

Thanks.

Build failing in the prepare stage for me

I would suggest the following git patch to make this package work again using the 18.6.0 DavinciResolve software.

 prepare()

I tested these changes only with the davinci-resolve package.

The patch makes these changes:

1. pkgver=18.6.0: change to the new and latest version 18.6.0.
2. sha256sums=('18f391cc522a336553a32c0c8c3eb0f47e0f7478687a08aae1acbf49bfa34560'): new sha256sum of the zip archive.
3. _installer_binary=$(echo ${_archive_name}.run | sed 's/\([0-9]\)\.\([0-9]\)\.\([0-9]\)/\1.\2/g'): the .run file inside the archive now is named only using major.minor syntax, so I have removed the patch semver part from the .run file name.

I hope that this could be useful to fix the package for the maintainer or to install the package with manual fixes for the other ones.

This needs a version bump to 18.5.6

@ghfujianbin

@jayanthl Just kill the process and restart Davinci.

Hi if i try to run davinci resolve i'm getting a white blank loading screen, and application goes on a loop, anybody encountered issue and solution please ?

For those looking for a quick workaround, see @phoepsilonix's comment

For AMD GPU users, see johnny.honu's comment

This package is not working and is out of date.

Going to DaVinci_Resolve_18.1.4_Linux.zip, as linked in the sources, results in the following error:

Thank you @phoepsilonix! Your full package build for version 18.5.1 worked like a charm.

HINT FOR OTHER USERS: I needed to install the 'jq' package for the PKGBUILD script to work.

ANOTHER HINT FOR AMD GPU USERS: I got DaVinci Resolve working on my 7900XTX by following the instructions on the Arch Wiki site. Here are the three easy steps:

1. Be sure you do not have 'rocm-opencl-runtime' installed; uninstall it if you do.
2. Install 'amdgpu-pro-oglp' and 'opencl-amd' from AUR.
3. Edit the DaVinciResolve.desktop file so that the Exec line reads Exec=/usr/bin/progl /opt/resolve/bin/resolve %u

It sounds like we have a working PKGBUILD. Rather than the manual workaround, can the package be updated for 18.1.5?
