@Blu3Wolf the download URL is dinamically obtained when you file the required fields or when you click the download only link.

About the mess your position is simply wrong: there's no way ZERO lines are more mess than 40+ lines of black magic the previous package had
Also bypassing the required information from the upstream URL is not allowed in an automated way.
Is this your rule? I ask, as I do not see this anywhere in the linked Privacy Policy at the download source. You realise of course that you can simply click "download only" - there is no required information at the upstream URL?
By removing the normal source information from the PKGBUILD, you appear to have increased the mess in this package, rather than reducing it.
For 19.1.4 (and in general for minor updates), using paru:
~/.cache/paru/clone/davinci-resolve-studio (or run the command at step 3 to know the directory)$ sha256sum LATEST_RESOLVE_ZIP_FILE.ZIP # (note the result)$ paru --fm vim -S davinci-resolve-studio # (change the version number and sha256)I noticed that I had to create a .license directory in /opt/resolve with rw permissions for the running user (or just 755 it) or else I could not activate DR.

@ahmadkakarr, is your audio a compatible format? (see Wiki)
audio still not working? how to fix it please???
Anyone know if /opt/resolve/.license/ was moved? Just did a fresh install and I'm unable to find the directory.
EDIT: I was able to solve the problem by creating the directory myself
There seems to be another missing piece:
❯ ll -l /opt/resolve/bin/BlackmagicRawAPI lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 Feb 6 13:41 /opt/resolve/bin/BlackmagicRawAPI -> squashfs-root/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI
Note that "squashfs-root" in the path indicates it is a link to a file within an AppImage file system.
The fix is to modify PKGBUILD to make a symbolic link relative to bin:
- ln -s "squashfs-root/BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI" "squashfs-root/bin/"
+ ln -s "../BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI" "squashfs-root/bin/"
which I fixed locally without rebuilding with this:
cd /opt/resolve
sudo rm "bin/BlackmagicRawAPI"
sudo ln -s "../BlackmagicRAWPlayer/BlackmagicRawAPI" "bin/"
The Gyroflow OFX plugin was failing to load with a seemingly unrelated log message
fuscript: symbol lookup error: /opt/resolve/libs/libc++.so.1: undefined symbol: __cxa_init_primary_exception
The fix is to link libc++abi just like the rest of the system libraries in PKGBUILD:
sudo rm -f "/opt/resolve/libs/libc++abi.so.1"
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libc++abi.so.1.0 "/opt/resolve/libs/libc++abi.so.1"
@00ein00, the AUR comments is not really the place to troubleshoot in-app issues. It's likely one for the Arch forums. Also make sure the audio is not AAC encoded, that will never work (see Wiki).

Since DaVinci Resolve Studio cannot be installed directly via AUR helpers like
paruoryay, 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:
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.
