resolve-flatpak

This repo allows you to package DaVinci Resolve as a Flatpak for use on Linux Flatpak based systems, especially e.g. Fedora Silverblue where there aren't easier installation options.

It's still a work-in-progress; but "works-for-me[tm]" right now.

Usage

1. git clone this repo
2. Edit the Flatpak manifest, com.blackmagic.Resolve.yaml to select the version: By default, com.blackmagic.Resolve.yaml is configured to package the latest version of Resolve Studio (18.1.4 at the time of writing).

To change from Studio to Free:

Studio:

        _product="davinci-resolve-studio"

Free:

        _product="davinci-resolve"

Explicit Release:

Alternatively, you can specify an explicit downloadId:

Do this by overriding the _downloadid:

        # Uncomment this to hard code the download if you want a specific version
        # _downloadid='44be7e694b4e440db5d2f70ad732d3b2'

See below for code to find explicit Download IDs.

3. Build (& install) your package:

flatpak-builder --user --install --force-clean build-dir com.blackmagic.Resolve.yaml

4. Enjoy.
