Beta Linux Fusion 8.2 is out.

Nice

the lack of a changelog or "what's new" is BMD at its best. :\

They have always been this way, but the webpage, says something about whats new, but this one give not much info...

only linux and general improvements...

Works on Debian. Well, NURBS do the job of unexpected quit.

If we are paid customers, can we participate with studio version testing?

There is an options for Free or Studio versions.

Works on Antergos (Based on ArchLinux)
Good decision from BM team

Now even the free version of Davinci Resolve for Linux and we change our equipment fully on BM devices.
And everyone is happy.

I'm super excited to install on my Linux Resolve system and try out some fusion links.

Unfortunately my Linux knowledge is just enough to be dangerous and I'm having trouble installing Fusion.

System error says I need to install FUSE first to get Fusion to install

Is there a more competent CentOS 6.6 user out there that could walk me through the steps to do this I don't want to risk breaking my Linux Resolve install.

Thanks!

Thank you, it was really useful.
Getting drown into this.

probably extract the installer, then try to "sudo" the .run file from Terminal?
(e.g. extract to Desktop -> open Terminal -> type "sudo" followed by space in Terminal -> mouse-drag the installer from Desktop to Terminal -> press enter -> input root password if requested)

oh by the way, you mentioned "..and try out some fusion links". I believe you mean Fusion Connect?
If yes, I can say it's not ready yet for Linux. (Resolve won't be able to find Fusion at the moment, but there is a manual "workaround" if you're keen. However I suggest to wait until it's officially supported.)

Hi guys,

First of all BIG thanks for BMD team for Fusion Linux release!

And the second thing: Did somebody have same problem with running Fusion on Linux as I have?

I did the install of it as suggested bellow:

probably extract the installer, then try to "sudo" the .run file from Terminal?
(e.g. extract to Desktop -> open Terminal -> type "sudo" followed by space in Terminal -> mouse-drag the installer from Desktop to Terminal -> press enter -> input root password if requested)

But when I try to run it, for example through the terminal (dmitry@forge:/opt/Fusion$ ./Fusion), I see the error message:

Load fusiongraphics
fuscript: error while loading shared libraries: libedit.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
fuscript: error while loading shared libraries: libedit.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
fuscript: error while loading shared libraries: libedit.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
...

And error continues to come again and again... until I break the command execution. And the Fusion do not start of course...

I'm running Fusion on my laptop with Ubuntu 14.04.

I use the Fusion on Windows before, but now I'm on Linux... So, maybe some experienced guys will able to help me with the problem?
Thanks!

P.S. Another side of the problem that I'm not a PRO Linux user too, but smart enough to able settle the problems when I know where to find it (at least I hope so...)

Should we ask about this beta features and bugs at this forum, or there is a specialized place for such kind of activity?
Thank you

Hi All,

I installed the Studio Beta on CentOS7. But I'm not really interested in using the GUI on Linux systems. I only want to run the Render nodes on Linux Servers. I only did not find the Render Node application on the Linux installation. Are render nodes not included?

An other problem I have is that the dongle can not be shared between a Windows installation and the Linux installation. The Linux workstation is on a different subnet so I tried using the FUSION_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable. But the Windows workstation cannot find a license when the dongle is plugged in the Linux workstation. Also the Linux Workstation cannot find a license if the dongle is plugged in the Windows workstation. Is this supposed to work? As far as I know I have disabled the firewalls on both workstations. Is there a log file I can look into? Any ideas?

Now when the all-os implementaion is nearly finished I hope devs'll start developing and adding new features to Fusion...

Here on Ubuntu 16.04 I have to make a symlink:

Code: Select all

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.so.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.so.0

then it runs, but I get this error:

Code: Select all

libDeckLinkAPI.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I think this lib is not necessary for me, because I don't have a decklink card. But I don't know that this will affect the stability.

Yeah, that warning will not affect any other part of Fusion; only the Decklink support will be disabled.

Works perfect, Jonathan!
Thanks you for solving my problem and upgrading my Linux knowledge

Following the instructions above I got it working on Ubuntu 16.04.

Thanks a lot, Jonathan!

BUT... In Fusion I cannot open neither AVI, MOV or MP4. Just file sequences.

Same for the savers.

Is this the expected behavior ?

Thank you BM!!!
Fusion Studio 8.2 Beta working great on CentOS 7 with The default GNOME Desktop Environments.
i can't see the templates in the BIN

the lack of a changelog or "what's new" is BMD at its best. :\

This bothers me so much. The fact that just figuring out what's new seems near impossible. Searching all over the website and finding nothing from BMD on the updates just feels so off. What would be the reason they are so closed about this? They sure must be using an Issue tracker internally where the changes/fixes get tracked and they should be able to open up about what changed. Am I missing some "release notes" or "changelog" page that I can keep an eye on?

Anyway, it's good to see it's working on Mac and Linux. Seems like a big amount of work has been pushed out. Just hope it's now at a point where focus can shift on improving the overall state again. Moving to new features and improving the user-experience.

Thanks Blackmagic Design for listening to the query of mine and a lot of other people!
Well the beta installs smoothly in Arch Linux , works the same but crashes sometimes but wait at least we have a beta for linux and can expect a free linux version now!

Cheers!

I can verify that it works without notable setup flaws on Fedora.

Redhat-like distros are targeted (like pretty much most other pro apps do), so all the others must do some more work to get to the cookie pot

Hi,

First, thank you Blackmagic for finally bringing this amazing app to Linux, I'm already using it in production work.

I'm using it on Debian 8.5 installed perfect, I just needed to add that symlink to libedit.so.0 like someone did for Ubuntu.

I have a question, when I go to the console and choose Py2 or Py3, tells me that Python is not installed, I know is installed I was wondering what environment variable is looking for?

thank you

Up and running on Cent 7, install was super easy.
Is there any chance of including offline media support in future releases, mov, mxf, avi, mp4, hevc, etc?
The port must have been really hard, so much old code, so thanks!

Thanks to Jonathan I have it installed now.

I'd like to send jobs to it from the OSX studio version that I've purchased.

Cheers for the Linux port!

Ubuntu 15.04

Found that only image sequences can be loaded and saved.

Any guidance for importing videos?

Did you install Quicktime and DirectShow for Linux?

I tried with Ubuntu 16.04, it installed but it doesn't run. When I launch, it tries but then just stops.

This is listed in in Dmesg

traps: Fusion[16582] trap invalid opcode ip:7fca06cd284d sp:7ffdf854cd40 error:0 in libfusionscript.so[7fca06ba5000+324000]

Their is already a libedit.so.0, libedit.so.2 and a libedit.so.2.0.53

Did you install Quicktime and DirectShow for Linux?

Sorry but there is no quicktime or directshow for linux. Since Quicktime is owned by Apple and Directshow by Microsoft , I dont think they can be made available for Linux machines. So bad.

I just installed it on Ubuntu 16.04 and it works great after running

Code: Select all

    sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.so.2 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libedit.so.0

So exciting to be able to use Fusion without the burden of Windows or OSX!

Thanks for this software! ...now release DaVinci

BM - thank you for releasing Linux version!
Working on Fedora 24 without issues. Install was super easy.

Is there an option to set it up that would allow saving in video formats, not only img seq?

allow saving in video formats, not only img seq?

Do you have DirectShow or QuickTime installed?

Do you have DirectShow or QuickTime installed?

on Linux ? ... seriously ?

it would be awesome if we had an option to tie encoding to ffmpg for example (or other encoder of choice).

Sure, I'm just saying getting feature parity is first priority. Getting features beyond what the other OS's offer is probably lower priority. Not saying it won't happen, just saying choosing an OS without DirectShow or Quicktime is going to mean certain things are expected to be lost.

You could create a end render script in the saver which starts ffmpeg with the filename from the saver

Taken a step further for the sake of good production practices, using a render manager like Deadline makes post-render options like that a breeze. I'm on Windows myself and rarely ever render out anything other than sequences from Fusion.

@michael: thank you - at this point it is beyond my current skill level, but awesome to know there is such option. Definitely will look into it and will try to figure it out . This seems like a very nice workaround.

There are some Quicktime codecs available with "gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad" package and if you google a bit you will find quite a few quicktime codecs like "libquicktime-1.2.4" and very important the opensource "HAP" codec.

Can someone explain how to make a render script in the saver as michael vorberg recons?!

Is there somewhere a custom fuse/node which can render out movies from linux?

I installed CentOS 7.3 from the Resolve ISO, and Resolve is up and running.

I then installed Fusion 8.2.1 without error, but it won't load.

The dmesg:

Code: Select all

I did a new CentOS install with the ISO on a different computer. Again, Resolve is fine. This time:

Code: Select all

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks.

Ok , I have written a little bash script which converts the given file or the given list of files into an image sequence in a new folder with its name.
Is there anyway I can provoke this script everytime I load a video into fusion which is not an image sequence or a raw video file?
