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.

@pradak3r did you change the license file to be writable for your user? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve#Cannot_activate_license._Please_try_again_later

I am not able to register Davinci Resolve Studio using my license key when I install using this package. When I attempt to do so, it says "Cannot validate license key, please try again later." The key works when I install Resolve Studio using the official installer from Blackmagic, but I'd like to use this package installer instead

Hi all, apex-a can you share your PKGBUILD with us? Thank-you :-)

apex-a commented on 2025-10-05 04:36 (UTC)

I have written the updated PKGBUILD for version 20.2.1. Tested and runs correctly for me.

A recent full system upgrade stopped DaVinci Resolve Studio from opening previously saved projects. I use an AMD GPU and when I compiled and installed opencl-amd Davinci Resolve Studio was once again able to load previously saved projects.

Could you add this aur package as one of the optional opencl drivers on the web site incase others are having the same problem.

apex-a commented on 2025-09-10 08:16 (UTC)

@adlerweb I definitely did when I was trying last night. Tried again this evening and had the following results. First attempt failed with the "Your account does not have a DaVinci Resolve Studio License attached". So I went back and cleared the device from the cloud portal and tried again. This time was successful. Feeling pretty silly now. Thank you for your help.

adlerweb commented on 2025-09-10 08:11 (UTC)

@apex-a: Did you set the required permissions as documented before trying to assign a license?

apex-a commented on 2025-09-10 08:09 (UTC)

I can't verify my cloud license. First attempt to verify returns an "Unable to communicate with the Blackmagic Cloud servers" error, second attempt returns "Your account does not have a DaVinci Resolve Studio License attached". Checking my account shows that a license has been assigned to my computer. So at least something happened. Is this likely an Arch issue? Or a Blackmagic issue?

Davinci refuses to download any extra since it expects RHEL's ca-bundles.crt path. Can you add a symlink between Arch's ca-certificates.crt and RHEL's ca-bundles.crt in the PKGBUILD? I believe this line would solve the issue:

install -d -m 0755 "${pkgdir}/etc/pki/tls/certs"

ln -s /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt \

"${pkgdir}/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt"
