And this is not a completely stripped-down version of their commercial product, but offers almost all the functionalities that the paid version contains. But Blackmagic Design, a producer of both professional hardware (cameras, monitors, video hubs, eGPUs, hardware control panels, consoles and storage solutions) and editing software for the visual industry, has already years ago decided to release a Linux version of its highly professional non linear video editing suite DaVinci Resolve to the Linux community for FREE. But all these options are not applications that are used at Hollywood production level. We have open source video editing applications such as Kdenlinve, Shotcut and the upcoming Olive, which are fantastic non-linear editing solutions for serious video editors, and we have for example Openshot and Pitivi for more simple video projects.

So join me to see how to set up DaVinci Resolve for High Resolution displays in Linux. In this short article I will show how you can change the scaling of DaVinci Resolve.

Even on my 4K 32 inch monitor DaVinci Resolve is at first start up almost unusable, so if you have for example a smaller 27 inch monitor with the same 4K or higher resolution, the UI components are terribly small. The non linear video editor DaVinci Resolve on Linux is an incredible free tool, but does not give correct out of the box scaling for high resolution displays, so it will show an UI with very small icons and characters.
