Talk:DaVinci Resolve

AMD GPU not discovered

I had to fix it with the following additions to configuration.nix

hardware.opengl = {
  enable = true;
  extraPackages = with pkgs; [
    amdvlk
    rocmPackages.clr.icd
  ];
};

I'm not sure of the formal way nor the deeper workings of such drivers but the fix should be provided in the Wiki somehow in order to save people from the pain that I just went through :P

When using the global menu widget on kde, all hotkeys/inputs will be ignored while davinci resolve is the active window. Using the following home-manager xdg.desktop entry will fix this.

xdg.desktopEntries.davinci-resolve = {
    name = "Davinci Resolve";
    genericName = "Video Editor";
    comment = "Professional video editing, color, effects and audio post-processing";
    exec =
    let
        script = pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "resolve-wrapper" ''
        #!/bin/sh
        qdbus org.kde.kded6 /kded org.kde.kded6.unloadModule appmenu
        exec ${pkgs.davinci-resolve}/bin/davinci-resolve "$@"
        qdbus org.kde.kded6 /kded org.kde.kded6.loadModule appmenu
        '';
    in
    "${script}/bin/resolve-wrapper %U";
    icon = "davinci-resolve";
    type = "Application";
    categories = [
    "AudioVideo"
    "AudioVideoEditing"
    "Video"
    "Graphics"
    ];
};

Another solution is setting it with home.file but this felt more nix like using home-manager's available
