Davinci Resolve refuses to work

**#&thj^%** · August 8th, 2024

Perfect.

First, I really need to say is this 1st command is so not a good practice and should be avoided as a general rule but they (Black magic) only support CentsOS
so I had to get creative, now that should right there put a little fear in you....LOL
Anyway I've ran it a good spell yesterday and today and things look to be normal on my end YMMV.

Code:

sudo SKIP_PACKAGE_CHECK=1 ./DaVinci_Resolve_18.6.6_Linux.run -i

That should get you installed but broken, due to the missing packages problem.
So now we run a few more commands:

Code:

sudo cp /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglib-2.0.so.0 /opt/resolve/libs/

Now we need to somehow link the missing together.

Pleas run these one line at a time, don't paste this whole code box in the terminal:

Code:

 cd /opt/resolve/libs
    sudo mkdir not_used
    sudo mv libgio* not_used
    sudo mv libgmodule* not_used

Here is what should be close to your speeds as seen in the screen shot
EDIT: You should reboot before running resolve.

I had a similar issue (unable to drag from Media Pool to the timeline, just in one project - I could still drag Titles, but not clips from the media pool!), and the resolution was to notice that none of the video tracks had the "red box" selected. Once I clicked a video track title (V1), then I could resume dragging clips from the media pool.

As badly as I hate sending anyone to google (youtube) this may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYgGil8-j8k

Resolve is kind of a feel your way around type learning. (As most Media editing suites can be)

Media offline issues in DaVinci Resolve are often caused by one of 3 main issues: unlinked clips, unsupported codecs, or missing clips. To fix media offline, you'll want to start by first identifying the possible root cause of the issue:

Check File Paths: Hover over the clip in the Media Pool to see if the file path is correct. If the file path isn't correct, your issue is likely unlinked clips.
Question Mark on Timeline: If you see a question mark on the clip in the timeline, it's usually an indicator that the clip is missing from the Media Pool.
Playback Issues: If the video doesn't play but the audio does, or if you see a warning about unsupported formats, it's most likely a codec issue.

By quickly running through this checklist, you can hopefully pinpoint the root cause and get started with the best solution.

To relink the unlinked clips, navigate to the Media Pool under either the "Edit" or "Media" page. Select all the clips showing as offline, then right-click on one of them and choose "Relink Selected Clips."

A dialog box will appear, prompting you to locate the folder containing the original source footage. Once you've selected the correct folder, click "Ok" to complete the relinking process.

Sometimes, the "Media Offline" error could be related to GPU issues, especially if you're working with high-resolution or complex timelines. Ensure your GPU drivers are up-to-date and consider allocating more GPU memory for DaVinci Resolve in the software's preferences. You can also switch between CUDA, OpenCL, or Metal in the settings to see if one performs better than the others.
