George Yes nvidia rtx 2070 with nvidia drivers 460.56

vinceff How did you managed to make it work?
The installation was really easy, but my issue it's that I don't get any video playback when import anything. I tried different formats and non of them show anything, it's just pure black. It seems like it only recognize the audio when I put it in the timeline, but even the audio it's not getting playback.

I have Nvidia drivers up to date and ocd-icd installed.

I think, need wrote guide for installing DaVinci on Solus and add this in help center in section Software. I don't use davinci often, but I can do it. Also need to know how davinci works with amd

It doesn't. DaVinci needs OpenCL, OpenCL for AMD is provided by the amdgpu-pro driver which is only officially available for RedHat and Ubuntu.

In theory OpenCL for AMD cards could be provided by ROCm, but that would have to be packaged for Solus, which is not easy. There is some community effort on this unofficial github repo https://github.com/emaimx/Solus-ROCm-build

Hello to you,
Attention with the free version of Davinci Resolve no possibility of reading or other with the MP4 format ...

Dean

atriaze Hello, so what format does it reads? Because mp4 it's the only one that even let me insert in the project, even thou it doen't work. I try MKV and AVI and doesn't even show up in the project if I drag it or import it.

Hello to you,
You will find on YOUTUBE, a lot of videos showing you how to convert mp4 video to DNxHD for Davinci.

Great, understanding "codec" and "container" is important. You will find quite a few things on the net. You will learn more about ProRes and DNxHD and h.264. 🙂

Dean

atriaze Yes, I know. I just didn't know that Davinci Resolve on Linux only accept ProRes.
