hi

i want to ask all you: what is up for Media..
what does Resolve can reads file format????

then i tell you:
file is MOV (original):

ffprobe out1.mov
Input #0, mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2, from 'out1.mov':

so i try convert with ffmpeg:

now.. what i will do....????
all file : MKV, MOV, MPEG, MP4, ARE WORKED WITH FFPLAY and MPV, VLC,
INSTEAD RESOLVE NOT WHYYY....

Free version?

Free Linux version, as I assume from his other thread.

Manuel, you tried h264, libx264 and mpeg1 as video encoders. All unsupported in Linux Lite.

Prores or DNxHD would've done the trick.

Here are the supported codecs for R12.5 (14 adds HEVC to Linux Studio).

Uli Plank wrote:Free version?

yes free version, because i first to try if i'm fine with this resolve so i will buy LITE, so i need check all things will works..

Sulo Kokki wrote:Free Linux version, as I assume from his other thread.

yes, i continue with resolve for testing and traning.. i want to know to resolve software, learn it.

Sulo Kokki wrote:Manuel, you tried h264, libx264 and mpeg1 as video encoders. All unsupported in Linux Lite.

ooh.. where is list of compareson : free version vs version lite?

Sulo Kokki wrote:Prores or DNxHD would've done the trick.

this trick works? you mean that i encode with ffmpeg code of DNxHD?

Sulo Kokki wrote:Here are the supported codecs for R12.5 (14 adds HEVC to Linux Studio).

i did see this PDF list but not say "free vs lite or studio" ?
instead pdf write: "DaVinci Resolve 12.5 Supported Formats and Codecs "not say for free version vs studio version"...
other to understand: there is "Decode:MPEG 4 - mp4 - h.264 8bit yes:Linux" this mean the codec needs "h264 8bit" and not libx264? libx264 not worked in "DaVinci Resolve linux free version" this is confirm?

but why DaVinci Resolve has library of FFmpeg in software..?
ok...it is strange philosophy of DaVinci Resolve..



last to ask:
if i will buy version LITE, Resolve DaVinci will works all format import video clips..??? this i want to know precise..

note: i'm not angry but I NEED TO KNOW INFORMATION..
thank you

Lite used to be the official name for the free version of Resolve. It is now used unofficially to refer to that version.

If you buy a license, you get Resolve Studio.

manuel_songokuh wrote:ooh.. where is list of compareson : free version vs version lite?

As far as I know, BMD have never released a list that compares Lite and Studio in different platforms. Many of us would like to have it, as it would be useful.

Yes, or Prores. Linux Lite supports both.

That list compares the Studio versions of R12.5, yes. Some of the codecs, in different platforms, also work in Lite.

And yes, no H264/libx264 import on Linux Lite. Only on Linux Studio.

manuel_songokuh wrote:it is strange philosophy of DaVinci Resolve..

Yes, it is.

manuel_songokuh wrote:last to ask:

You will get H264/HEVC import with the Studio version on Linux, yes.

thank you for clear information..

then last ask:
if i buy 14.3 and future new versione 15.0 i will redo to buy again? or pay for update from 14.3 to 15.0 example?
because i will decide for buy other moments..

Up to today the policy of bm was that once you buy one, you never had to pay for upgrade: i got my dongle back with v10, no other money spend up to today.

Policy can change, it's up to bm.

You should stay away from consumer delivery type formats meant for streaming of material on TV's etc.

mp4, h.264, h.265, .mkv etc. are simply not suited for the type of data computation that Resolve needs to perform internally.

It is unlikely that you will be satisfied with Resolve's performance if you use these formats, even if you buy the Studio version.

Something like Adobe Premiere might fare better with those formats, but even there you're looking for trouble.

So basically the bottom line is that you will need to transcode to something more robust like DNxHD or ProRes.

Do that, save your money for now and learn the Resolve free version. Then, based on your experience buy the Studio version...but don't do it just because you want to use consumer format -- you won't be happy.

hi
thank you : waltervolpatto, Kays Alatrakchi

okay, i did try ffmpeg:

Code: Select all

ffmpeg -i INFILE -c:v prores -profile:v 3  -c:a copy out.mp4

but bitrate is over
from mov original: 201mb instead prores 11,9GB!!!!!

there is low size ..? otherwise i buy STUDIO..?

Matroska (MKV) is not a video format. It's a container. The others are consumer/delivery video formats. Unlike MP4 or MOV, Matroska can be used to store video in any lossless (editing) format like FFV1 or the slightly lossy ProRes video formats. The only problem with Matroska is that it (for historical/political reasons) isn't supported by most professional editing software. It is actually a recommended storage format (with FFV1 video and LPCM/FLAC audio) at digitized analogue video at cultural heritage institutions.

Kays Alatrakchi wrote:So basically the bottom line is that you will need to transcode to something more robust like DNxHD or ProRes.

Above all you need to make sure that your video uses a constant frame rate. Most mobile devices record in Variable BitRate (VBR), which causes problems with audio/video synchronization when you edit these formats.

Kays, I don't think you can say that Resolve is unsuited for H264, MP4, etc. All my footage is H264 1080 50p 35Mbps and Resolve has no problems editing or grading it, or up-scaling to UHD.
