Flatpak packaging for Blackmagicdesign DaVinci Resolve

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. If you have appimagelauncherd (the AppImage Launcher daemon) installed and enabled, you NEED to temporarely disable it (either through systemctl or through the AppImage Launcher GUI) as it conflicts with flatpak-builder during the .run file repackaging process.

2. Clone this repo with: git clone https://github.com/pobthebuilder/resolve-flatpak.git --recursive By default, com.blackmagic.Resolve.yaml is configured to package the latest version of Resolve (18.5 Beta 3 at the time of writing).

3. Build your package, and export to a distributable single file installer:

Free

flatpak-builder --force-clean --repo=repo build-dir com.blackmagic.Resolve.yaml
flatpak build-bundle repo resolve.flatpak com.blackmagic.Resolve

Studio

flatpak-builder --force-clean --repo=repo build-dir com.blackmagic.ResolveStudio.yaml
flatpak build-bundle repo resolve.flatpak com.blackmagic.ResolveStudio

4. Enjoy.
