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.

@FraYoshi @ghfujianbin Always take a look at the wiki if there are any prolems. The extras download manager fix is documented over there. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DaVinci_Resolve

False premise - the software in question can in fact be installed directly via AUR helpers.

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

@FraYoshi Extra download manager doesn't show anything for me either. https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=218788. This is the only post I found talking about it. Some users from other distros got it working. I tried with 'CURL_CA_BUNDLE=/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt /opt/resolve/bin/resolve' with no avail.

Has anyone got the AI voice training working? Resolve crashes whenever I use that.

I tried just now, and it crashes for me too. I also have nothing on the 'Extras Download Manager' where there should be the downloadable models.

The latest version for me gets up to the c++ libraries and then fails with "permission denied":

squashfs-root/libs/libavutil.so.58
squashfs-root/libs/libavutil.so.58.2.100
squashfs-root/libs/libc++.so.1
fopen error: Permission denied
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in prepare().
    Aborting...
code 4

Am I missing some new dependencies that have not made it into the PKGBUILD headers? Version 19 built successfully for me.

@vawaver for the studio version you do not need to enter anything, you can just click the download button.

Muflone commented on 2025-06-01 09:24 (UTC)

@vawaver I pinned your comment.

However people not reading PKGBUILDs should never install any package from AUR, it's dangerous

I installed Resolve 20 using this package on a fresh Arch installation. Resolve successfully starts and recognizes my GPU but I have two issues.

  1. I cannot play back media even though the video and audio codecs are correct (i.e., H.265, ALAC). The same media plays normally using mpv, cosmic-player, etc.
  2. I cannot open existing projects, only create new projects. When I open existing projects it just hangs at 38% opening the project.

I haven't tried Resolve 19 on Arch, only Resolve 20. I don't even know where to download the Resolve 19 zip anymore now that Resolve 20 is released.
