DaVinci Resolve is a piece of proprietary professional video editing, special effects, color grading and audio mixing software available for Windows, MacOS and Linux. This piece of software, Denshi decides to use over free and open source video editors like blender, kdenlive, shortcut and olive. This is a bit strange since the Dnshi agenda is free and open source software.
Installing on distros other than CentOS
DaVinci Resolve claims to only be compatible with CentOS, however through some basic patching and fixes it can be made to work on most Linux distributions.
