As someone who has been waiting for Adobe Premiere Pro or an equivalent modern editor for Linux, I'm happy to share this. For those who don't know, DaVinci Resolve is a professional video post-production suite now available for Linux (also available for Windows and macOS), and it's available to download free-of-charge. It's also literally THE standard for color grading used in movie and TV production industries.
>Freemium >closed sourced I mean, I guess it's good news but still - most of GNU/Linux users won't use it.
Adam Thomas
Where's the source?
Carter Price
locked away so you freetards can't fork it into a shitshow.
Carter Lee
What's the catch?
Ryan Thomas
Finally, AVLinux will rise to glorious prominence!
Logan Davis
Dude, alright, just fuck that whole crowd. Always eager to yell "open source" but completely incapable of creating good software on their own. These people are posers, plain and simple.
Not that I particularly blame them for being incapable of this feat. Creating and maintaining good software requires a lot of people and paying those people. Good luck with ever meeting other people, let along having money to pay them if all you do is rice your fucking desktop and lazily bellow Stallman quotes like a pissed off sloth on a rag.
Parker Barnes
It was on linux for a long fucking time
Ryan Walker
And fuck your shitty program. Don't come here wanting to be treated like jesus just because some proprietary program is available. Fuck off and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Carson Hall
You mean improve it and get rid of the retarded price restrictions for basic tools?
Jack Ortiz
>retarded price restrictions you mean actually paying for something you cheap fuck?
Lucas Jackson
>Fade In for screenwriting >DaVinci Resolve for editing, color grading and audio mixing >Houdini for VFX >Nuke for compositing
Soon we won't even need Windows or macOS to make movies anymore, if that isn't already true now. The pipeline will be completely start-to-finish without ever needing to leave Linux.
Feels good, man.
Ayden James
>most of GNU/Linux users won't use it I doubt most users care. Just like most people don't call linuc GNU/linux. Free software is a complete pain in the ass to use. Most people like having fully functional desktops.
Jose Brown
adding in an arbitrary price lock is stupid no matter how you wageslaves want to reframe it
Josiah Roberts
I'm giving you this software free of charge. You don't want it because you have unrealistic expectations - fine with me, go make your own.
Jace Powell
Most of the functionality is already available in the free version. The Studio version gives you extra collaborative tools, 3D tools and Resolve FX.
Josiah Hall
do you argue over arbitrary pricing when buying stuff in the shop?
jesus christ, if FOSS is so fucking sexy, why isn't there already a free studio grade film editing package available right now?
Jeremiah Green
The stuff in the shop has to pay for distribution, packaging, and manufacturing (and/or harvesting, producing, etc). And yet those 3 chickens are only $18. $299 for some standard tools? You've got to be fucking joking.
Jeremiah Wood
If you hate FOSS so much then use a proprietary OS that already has this program available. Crying on Sup Forums isn't going to help you.
Thomas Young
get a job, tyrone.
Jaxson Fisher
So time to develop the application doesn't cost anything? Fuck, I'd love to see you commie dickheads in a real job, when it comes to payday you get fuck all and you'll like it.\
Stop pretending it's all about some pious crusade against the evils of code you're not allowed to see the source of, it's that you're a peasant who doesn't want to pay for shit.
Jayden Lee
Free software is free in freedom not free is in beer. Stop trying to use FOSS is an excuse to be a cheapskate.
Jayden Diaz
Well, this is basically three professional AV solutions in one for free.
Considering other equivalent professional video software like Adobe's Premiere (editor), Speedgrade (color grading) and Audition (audio mixing) will set you back $599/yr; Avid's Media Composer (editing) and Pro Tools (audio mixing) will set you back $1,899; Apple's Final Cut Pro (editing) and Logic Pro X (audio mixing) will set you back $499, and all of this is for ANY of their respective functionalities, I am pretty grateful that Blackmagic Design were generous enough to offer *any* of their functionality without monetary charge.
Christian Foster
So you're releasing it 'for free', and yet expect development costs to be covered by adding in arbitrary price gates? Do you even hear yourself? Free software is free as in freedom AND free as in beer.
Gabriel Ward
Sweet mother of mercy, you people are fucking annoying. Don't buy it and call it a day. You don't need it anyway.
Elijah Foster
>Free software is free as in freedom AND free as in beer.
That's even more extreme than Stallman himself. The GPL allows you to sell software for a monetary fee.
Actually, the FSF says that a license that doesn't allow you to make copies and sell them is a non-free license.
Jason Turner
I really doubt that the price of software plays major role in professional video editing.
Let's take the $1,899 from , round it up to 2k/y and double it because why not. Then look at the average salary of the person USING this software. Very likely >100k/y for persons with enough experience.
So, who cares if one program is freeware?
Nicholas Evans
I think it could work well for entry-level filmmakers who are looking to get started but don't have a lot of money, and then when they start making a profit and see the need for the extra features, they can purchase the Studio version of Resolve if necessary or move to a different software if they please.
Jaxon Moore
Even if there was no free version and the whole thing cost $299 minimum, that's basically a steal compared to other post-production packages.
Cooper Rodriguez
A brighter future is on its way, mah brotha.
Asher Moore
You can actually write screenplays in your favorite text editor with Fountain.
amateur,hobbist, starting freelancer,studens and you tubers.
Carson Davis
Limited features in the free version. Still blows away the foss alternatives, though.
Ian Wood
how do I git gud tho
Logan Martin
gimp is free and open source and doesnt hurt my rectum.
Xavier Baker
Most who want fancy video editing will. You have spent to long in your own flutter bubble.
Asher Garcia
I'm still waiting for a Lightroom alternative which I'm pretty sure nobody will bother with on Linux
Alexander Kelly
Don't forget OpenToonz and Krita for anime.
Kayden Williams
Neither of which use Linux
Jackson Ortiz
not his fault you spent all your neetbux on waifu pillows and dragon dildos
Owen Russell
Kind of old news, however i'm very happy that the misinformation other people is trying to spread over linux is finally disappearing and that more professional software is coming to linux although there's a lot of open source programs that at this date are actually good or pretty decent for work. There's a pasta about this, i'll post it, maybe someone who want to give a shot to linux may find it useful.
Jeremiah Allen
>closed sourced >I mean, I guess it's good news but still - most of GNU/Linux users won't use it.
The "muh freedom" and "muh open-source" autistic group of ideological linux reactionaries are what's genuinely preventing linux from reaching mainstream desktop consumers.
If they don't want to use closed-source software, that's fine, but they have audacity to berate others that genuinely don't give a shit about software freedom and just want to get their work fucking done.
Same guy here. One of the few areas where i haven't found good programs is civil engineering. If someone has good examples of people working on linux in this area i would be happy to expand the pasta. If you know about an area where you think linux lacks i'd happy to research it later.
Robert Parker
>I am pretty grateful that Blackmagic Design were generous enough to offer *any* of their functionality without monetary charge. /thread
Blake Ramirez
foss ideologues are a large part of the problem
Adrian Wood
ok but you should add: >Available for an OS i actually like! Well, that's at least my sentiment.
Adam Baker
Linux is good by it's own merits, being open source is only a big plus. There's more people using it than people who hates proprietary software (i would bet the people who uses it just for being foss is an small portion). Just saying.
Hunter Lee
I know brlcad was used by the military. Not sure if that's useful for civil engineering.
Ryder Foster
>locked away so you freetards can't fork it into a shitshow. indeed, sjw proof. mozilla could have ruled the waves if it wasn't for the furries that turned it into a real life shitshow.
Landon Rivera
It's available for Wangdows, Mac OS, and Linux. Don't tell me you're a BSD clown...if so, you should be used to disappoints by now.
Robert Mitchell
wow, i didn't knew about BRL-CAD. Thanks for the info!
Juan Perry
>It's available for Wangdows, Mac OS, and Linux. Don't tell me you're a BSD clown...if so, you should be used to disappoints by now. Wow, people in this place is becoming pretty sensible and attacks without a good reason. I'm a linux user and what i mean is that i'm very happy that there's more professional software on linux. Just saying that the availability for linux is important for me, not only that is cost-free. you should read again what i said.
Christopher Barnes
Exactly, they have a nonfree license.
Charles Wilson
This! Until I'm blue in the face! Stallman makes great points and all but he needs to separate his rhetoric from the Linux OS. He does not own it, and he does not contribute to it's code, he has no right to speak on the communities behalf. It's rude and crazy behavior.
Lucas Lewis
>crazy behavior
Luis Ross
There are more people using it than people who hate proprietary software (I would bet the people who use it just due to being 'foss' is a small portion). S P E A K E N G L I S H P A J E E T
Henry Barnes
you fell for the cult that is richard stallman and FOSS, good job you sheep
Christopher Nguyen
Ahh, sorry, to me it looked like you were saying "It's not available on my OS of choice." And I do agree with your actual statement.
Thomas Myers
>hacker sex
Jack Taylor
Not indian but it's true i'm not native speaker. Thanks for the correction although you aggressivity only makes yourself look bad.
Lucas Lewis
am I the only one who can't understand this guy's terrible english? can someone translate this for me?
Christian Stewart
great, can you direct us to a foss alternative that's on par with the filthy proprietary software OP presented us ?
Landon Jones
Draftsight Darktable Salome NREL SAM ...
Liam Peterson
he's not indian but neither is he a native speaker he thanks the previous douchebag for his correction, but regrets his unwarranted hostility
Easton Flores
> MUH UNIX LOVE OPEN SOURCE STALLMAN FREEDUMB XDDDD
Hang yourself faggot.
William Campbell
thanks, that's much better. I don't understand how he expects anyone to understand him except for linguists
Leo Powell
enjoy your botnet fagget
Gabriel Hill
Won't hurt if you don't use it. That fucking piece of old garbage
Thomas Stewart
strong opinion from someone who couldn't recreate gimp if he tried for a decade
Nicholas Martin
I've been using Linux for a few weeks now and it's been a blessing not having to deal with AutoCAD and it's random problems. DraftSight works just as good and it's much less temperamental.
Only if you point us to a person who would need said software while using GNU+Linux.
Justin Myers
so you can't
Noah Carter
Thanks a lot.
Austin Bennett
bump because people deserve to see this thread.
Easton Scott
>most of GNU/Linux users won't use it. The reason it's called Linux by normal people and not "GNU/linux" is because your kind is a minority. Most linux users are not freetarded.
Nathan Robinson
I only make vids from my animals.
Adrian Ramirez
>Available for Windows Perfect, just like any decent software for Linux.
Windows has always the best of both worlds.
Jonathan Barnes
but windows is shit
Lincoln Nguyen
and linux has shit freetard software
i'd take the shitty OS base with good proprietary software
Caleb Martinez
>and linux has shit freetard software but you're literally in a thread that proves otherwise
Elijah Garcia
So now my $200 Pixel 2013 with crouton is just as good as a $2000 Mac book? Cool
John Lee
Whats the version of this that compete with Adobe Photoshop?
Owen Wright
Not always; which is why everyone with a brain runs linux/windows and not linux/mac
Mason Sanders
>incapable of creating good software >ignoring the entirety of the open source codebase used by everyone who matters
Isaiah Bennett

Isaiah Rodriguez
>have to register to download and use
Luis Allen
i see you can't either
Anthony Cook
openshot is a POS tho.
Alexander Smith
Does it even work? Installing it from AUR on arch is broken
How else can I install it? is anyone actually using it?...
