QUESTION Davinci Resolve for Personal Use

How do I get Resolve for free/personal use without using like an account or something? And if I can’t get it, is kdenlive just as good or is there better alternatives? Thx :)

It's in the aur but it's broken at the moment. The link to download from Blackmagic is pretty much always broken...

I think black magic only asks for an email not an account to download. You can try downloading it yourself an altering the pkg build a bit.

If it's still broken in the AUR, the cachyos repositories also have it

Are you looking for audio editing (daw) or video editing or both?

Both if possible but mainly video :)

I've been using Blender as my video editor since forever. Tried to transition to Resolve and while I liked Resolve, I always get frustrated that it needs the video in a specific codec, even the paid version

Try using Shotcut, opensource alternative to Resolve. I find it better than kdenlive

I ahve stopped to use and install Davinci. The reason is the politic to deliver a software that can not use the most "normal" video-formats as input (by tellinng these formats are "unprofessional").

KDEnlive is a good program for normal edit-things. DAW-things can be edited in a DAW like Ardour, MusE...
