Since DaVinci Resolve Studio cannot be installed directly via AUR helpers like paru or yay, I suggest adding and pinning a clear step-by-step guide for beginners explaining how to build and install the package from the local installer.

The instructions should also include how to obtain the required .zip file from the official Blackmagic Design website:

  1. Go to https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support
  2. In the "Latest Downloads" section, select the latest version of "DaVinci Resolve Studio" for Linux
  3. Fill out the registration form (name, email, etc.)
  4. After submitting, a .zip file will be downloaded automatically – this file must be placed in the same directory as the PKGBUILD before building
  5. Continue ...

Such a guide would be helpful for users new to Arch-based systems who legally own a DRS license but are unfamiliar with manual package building.

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.

Upgrading to mesa 1:25.2.0-1 seems to break resolve, "Failed to create OpenCL context, Unknown CL error. (-1000)" in logs and blank screen instead of video/pictures. Downgrading to mesa 1:25.1.7-1 is a temporary fix that worked for me

https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/support/ has a large archive of all of their downloadable products.Sorry for my false claim that version 20.0.1 did not exist.

@rev.cressy: Can't confirm - it is still listed in their download center. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/de/support/download/4cda8043eecf4c00a40a781dffed2bc9/Linux

By the way DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_20.0.1_Linux.zip is no longer available on Black Magic's web site.

@Bink I see. Thanks for explaining.

Bink commented on 2025-08-11 05:08 (UTC)

@hypnagogic, the generated download link uses a signed URL. That is, it expires after an insubstantial period of time. So providing the download link only has very limited usefulness.

Approaches that circumvent the signed URL system are seemingly possible, but undermine upstream's (Blackmagic) systems that prevent download link sharing and therefore don't pass muster here.

If you could convince Blackmagic to provide a static URL for Linux downloads, that might be a different story.

hypnagogic commented on 2025-08-11 03:51 (UTC)

Why you are forcing users to manually download the files.

This package specifically is not able to any longer, due to the current maintainer's removal of the code allowing for that.

You do not have to provide any information by the way, contrary to the pinned comment. You just click "download only."

If you want to install 20.1 here is what I did:

   * DaVinci Resolve Studio 20.1 Install
    bsdunzip  DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_20.1_Linux.zip 
    sudo ./DaVinci_Resolve_Studio_20.1_Linux.run -i

    The following came from:  https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/1d7cr2w/optresolvebinresolve_symbol_lookup_error/

    Removing these files force resolve to use the current system libaries

    cd /opt/resolve/libs

    sudo mkdir disabled-libraries

    sudo mv libglib* disabled-libraries

    sudo mv libgio* disabled-libraries

    sudo mv libgmodule* disabled-libraries

    /opt/resolve/.library permisions and ownership

    drwxr-xr-x  3 owner root  2.0K Aug  2 16:58  .license

It seems starting with 20.1 (c6806a0bbcb243dc8a2a2bbdec4380c48a65e175a165aacc21ad43e00dab0935) users do need write access to the program folder to even start the software, without it I got a error regarding log4cxx. I would suggest adding a group and using chgrp during installation, this would also allow users to use the extension manager.

rev.cressy commented on 2025-08-08 16:03 (UTC)

Davinci Resolve Studio 20.1 is currently available on the blackmagicdesign web site.
