to get my control panel working I had to install python2, which the control panel script apparently uses.
sudo pacman -S python2
I also had to symlink the panel API library into the system library directory. Not sure why it refuses to look in the bundled library directory.
sudo ln -s /opt/resolve/libs/libDaVinciPanelAPI.so /usr/lib/libDaVinciPanelAPI.so
Using @Muflone's PKGBUILD (with changes for the new version), I managed to install 20.3.1 and overcome the qt5-webengine issue that caused so many problems. Not sure if there is a way to modify it so it pulls in the precompiled webengine? Either way, here is a video showing how I did it: https://youtu.be/638VCkUUNP8
It seems that having opencomposite https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/opencomposite-git installed breaks Resolve, it looks like it's trying to load it but then it fails. I'm not aware if this is a general issue but it doesn't seem to be documented elsewhere.
[OC] Config:226 Checking for app specific config file...
[OC] wini_parse:167 No config file found at /opt/resolve/libs/Fusion/Plugins/opencomposite.ini
[OC] CheckAppEnabled:59 [once] Launcher configuration not yet supported on Linux
[OC] GetXRAppName:59 Setting application name to OpenComposite_resolve
Any way to either get this working or disable Resolve from trying to load it?
If you want to build version 20.3 edit the PKGBUILD file as shown:
pkgver=20.3
sha256sums=('6a98f171683ad35039cd41464ef08e3afb713fc9fe11ba2d8a23600092ec79a8'
This sha256sum matches the latest update from Blackmagic Design.
Can get the zip file from blackmagic into the PKGBUILD, but the blackmagic version of Davinci Resolve Studio is currently mismatched, leading to bad checksum.
@sia, comments here are for packaging related feedback, not in-software issues. The better places to raise in-software issues is either in the distro forum, or Blackmagic's forum. Just keep in mind Blackmagic does not officially provide support for Arch.
Hi, I aprreciate you keeping this app compatible with Linux. I would like to report one reproducable crash on the studio version. Whenever I click "Davinci Ai Voice Training" the program crashes instantly. It can be found by right clicking a video in the media pool>Ai tools>Davinci Ai Voice Training.
It is used to clone voices, I used it a lot on Windows and it would be nice if we can use it on arch.
Also another thing, I don't know if this is linux related, but in the fusion tab whenever I try to change the color of something, the color picker window appears instantly on first click, but if I try to change the color again, the color picker window takes a couple of seconds to appear. It is not a major problem but it feels like it's taking long because it's very heavy on my pc (that how it feels, I most likely am wrong)
The report is based on Davinci Resolve Studio latest version 20.2.3, my specs are 64GB RAM, Ryzen 7 7700X, and 4070ti.
Again, very grateful for you and I appreciate making resolve easier to install on Arch than it is on Fedora or even Rocky Linux.
@Muflone Thanks for the hint. After clearing the cache and doing a clean build, the installation worked.
@NIICKTCHUNS: Same problem here. Loading projects gets stuck at 100%. Creating a new project works, but no media can be played back. Totally broken at the moment :-(
I had the same problem back in September. Here is my changelog report:
2025-09-10 LeRoy Cressy rev.cressy@protonmail.com
* AMD GPU
After an upgrade last month Davinci Resolve Studio stopped loading
projects. Compiled and installed:
opencl-mesa which did not resolve the problem.
opencl-amd did solve the problem.
I am removing opencl-mesa and rebooting to see if that has any effect.
Did not need opencl-mesa but do need opencl-amd.
Ran pacman -Qqd | pacman -Rsu - to clean up my system
My Davinci Resolve doesn't work for some reason, it doesn't load any project, stucks at 100% when loading and then stops working, and also it doesn't show anything in the timeline, it just stays gray, it is just for me or someone is having the same experience?

Unfortunately actually the AUR is read-only as the SSH endpoint is not reachable for the DDoS, so I cannot publish a package upgrade.
There's no need to download the libc++ or libc++-abi packages as told in comments, you can simply omit some lines to use the upstream version.
Here's the updated PKGBUILD https://github.com/muflone/pkgbuilds/blob/master/davinci-resolve-studio/PKGBUILD for 20.2.2-1

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.
