The installer is meant to be used on CentOS (bash scripts).. but I know
it's free and "blackmagic" hardware is NOT needed in order to use it..
(Works on a Winbloze system)
It makes a great workflow with LWKS.. and this other piece of software
might go opensource, but the point is these things are movie-grade tools
which can really boost Linux's arsenal of power software (video editing/
color correction)..
Davinciresolve is used with 30,000 dollar hardware.. so it's hard to
dismiss this as a simple kid's kit (even though it's not opensource, but
it does use opensource for some of its parts.. I see ffmpeg related
libraries bundled with it).. The software is highly professional and has
been out for at least a number of months as a free edition for Linux but
not much people outside blackmagic/NAB sites seem to know about this
available usability
The other thing is this software "requires" using CUDA from an NVIDIA
card.. so it's a bummer for those who have AMD cards..
I've tried to look into it's scripts, but I'm having great difficulty,
so I'm thinking perhaps someone is much better than me in trying to have
this thing working on non-CentOS :) (It's cooler to have it on debian :)
Someone should get this baby packaged even though it'll probably end up
in non-free or contrib.. It really is a powerful piece of software hard
to dismiss..
