#davinciresolve

4 posts4 participants0 posts today

So, I make bits of software, mostly plug-ins for platforms like #DaVinciResolve or #Blender, mostly because I have a particular thing that needs doing that no-one has catered to. And I yoik them up to Codeberg and if I'm feeling organised I'll write them up on my blog, so that anyone else that has the same particular need can benefit too. I have no intention of selling them, because marketing stuff is not something I remotely enjoy doing, testing and bug fixing is too time consuming, and because I consider it payment for all the free software I get to use.
Generally I release everything under the #GPL3, because it's the one I know about. I'm not really a #coder, and I'm far less a #lawyer, so I have no idea if this is the best option.
So the question I want to #AskFedi is: what do you do with small #code projects you write? What license do you release them under and why, and how do you go about distributing them?
I've only ever had one or two people fork my code or make PRs, I don't think a lot of people in my industry also code, so everything I do is a solo project. So I'd be interested in how people find collaborators for stuff they do.

Kann mir vielleicht jemand helfen?

Nutzt hier jemand #DavinciResolve auf #Linux (#Fedora) mit ner #AMD-GPU?

DR läuft soweit, allerdings nutzt es meine GPU zu 0% und meine CPU zu max. 16%.

Das meiste, was ich online finde, leitet durch den Installprozess, endet aber direkt nach dem Start von DR (um zu schauen, ob es läuft) - das hilft mir aber nicht. 🙄

Weiß vielleicht jemand von euch was? Oder kennt ihr wen? 🥺

Es ist nun schon mehr als ein halbes Jahr her, dass ich mich von #Adobe|s #CreativeCloud getrennt habe. Es hat einige Zeit gebraucht, doch inzwischen schneide ich Videos mit #DavinciResolve, bearbeite Fotos mit @darktable und PDFs mit #PDF24. Und mit jedem Tag werde ich etwas sicherer und freue mich etwas mehr darüber, auch weil ich monatlich 60 Euro mehr zur Verfügung habe. Es geht doch ohne das große A. 💚

Ich möchte für meine Lehrveranstaltung zur #Geometrie kurze #Erklärvideos drehen. Dafür könnte ich #OBS Studio und #DaVinciResolve benutzen, aber auch #Camtasia wäre eine Option. Ich mag Open Source Software, aber mein Problem damit ist, dass ich nicht ständig ständig Videos drehe, und daher mich gefühlt immer wieder neu einarbeiten muss… Nach dem, was ich weiß, ist die Lernkurve bei Camtasia nicht ganz so groß. Wer von euch hat Erfahrung damit, und kann mir Tipps geben? #videotools

If you sometimes work in DaVinci Resolve and need a solution to convert Blenders color settings into DaVinci, then this hint is THE best ever! Basically Blender already comes with a solution, but you just need to know where to find it. And this hint shows how:

I have installed #davinciresolve in a #distrobox container on my computer and so far it is working fine.
The only thing I have not been able to resolve is that I get a super tiny mouse pointer despite the rest of the UI scaling correctly.
I have tried environment variables such as `QT_SCALE_FACTOR=2` but have had no luck.
I am using GNOME with Wayland on a 4k display.
Does anyone have any tips for me? Thanks in advance! 🫣😊🤓
#linux

Everyone's different so I'm not forcing this on anyone, I'm also not particularly recommending this to anyone, but from my personal experience, #ArchLinux or rather its derivatives like #EndeavourOS (NOT including #Manjaro) or even #SteamOS (to some degree, not apples-to-apples comparison since that OS is purposefully locked down) has actually been the most user-friendly to use and easy to maintain lol.

I think it's been 3 years or more now since I've made the switch? Not only me tho, since I've "deployed" the same setup also on our family PC, and on my wife's personal rig, and surprise, surprise.. we've faced not a single issue despite not being a
sifu in #Linux wizardry. I've had many, MANY more issues/frustrations using other distros for "normies" like #PopOS, #ElementaryOS, (and Manjaro 🙃) and the biggest hurdle on those distros has always been software installation.

It was almost always the case, and I still see it happening now based on others' accounts of their experience, that you'll
very quickly encounter a case where you want to install something, it's not found on any of the distro's repos and you'd have to add a dedicated software repository purely for that one package - and many other packages, before you could install them. Even worse, sometimes you'll have to go thru the same hassle to get their dependencies too. For a "regular" user that these distros are "catered" to? will almost certainly lead to breaking the system in some way.

This should be a bit better now thanks to
#Flatpak/#Flathub, but I'm still seeing people needing to do shit like download random scripts off of #GitHub just to get something like #DavinciResolve installed and running. On an Arch-like distro, the only setup really I've done on all machines is to install yay which can be used in place of #pacman (Arch's default package manager), Flatpak, and #KDE's app store frontend, #Discover. In 99% of cases, I can install/update the Flatpak of an app, if not, it'd either be available on Arch's repos or the #AUR (which comes with yay right out of the box) - all through the GUI.

Everything else from that point has been a breeze - and this is despite using an
#NVIDIA GPU on at least 2 systems, mine esp with a much more complicated setup including multi-monitors, multi-capture cards/devices, professional audio equipment, touchpad, etc. None of us have ever encountered any Arch/distro related issues since we first started daily driving EndeavourOS - some minor issues that prop up here and there (rarely) have only been issues that face all Linux users like the transition to #Wayland and so on.

Again, this is not a rec - I'd still recommend users looking to migrate from
#Windows to maybe try some of the more "mainstream" distros like #LinuxMint (+1 bonus tho if it comes with official #KDEPlasma support) since they should theoretically be more "stable" as a non-rolling release distro, but if that's not working out, something like EndeavourOS could be an option.

Update for those following along with my #DaVinciResolve issue: after multiple hours of troubleshooting #BlackMagicDesign Support finally helped me find the issue: my monitor display scaling was set to 125%, and the activation panel wouldn't load until I changed it to 100%.

The fuck? Premium software that breaks down due to something that simple? I'm glad it's sorted now, but still pretty mad about it 😤

#DaVinciResolve-Könner:innen to the rescue!

In einem Video nutze ich die zum Standardumfang gehörende #Bauchbinde „SimpleBox2Lines_LowerThird“.
Vielleicht stelle ich mich doof an, aber ich finde nichts, um deren Position im Bild zu verändern. Andere Bauchbinden, Textboxen und „Titles“ haben einen „Position“-Regler oder zumindest ein Eingabfeld für Koordinaten. Hier nicht. Übersehe ich etwas? Gibt's da einen Trick?

Bin für jede Hilfe dankbar!
