It costs $300 one time, which is a very fair price and I will pay it if it works on my computer. But because it's so much money I want to check if it really works before I move over the money.

I tried the free version and it's cool but it can't handle the files from my Sony A7C and I need to transcode all of them before editing, that takes a lot of space and a lot of time because I have hundreds of files for each project. Theoretically the paid version should be able to use my Intel iGPU which has hardware acceleration for the file format my camera spits out. This way I could use both my GPUs at the same time.

I can answer your question: Resolve are very clear that Intel iGPUs are not supported in Linux, at all, because the Intel Linux drivers do not support some features they require.

Free version, paid version: doesn't matter, it's not supported hardware right now. Not even the new ARC cards are, because it's a software issue Intel has to fix.

Ran into this when looking at moving to Linux and there's not a solution for it.

Oh snap, that is exactly what I was trying to figure out. That's a shame. Somehow KdenLive deals with those files well enough, I guess on the CPU. I might then stay on KdenLive for some time. It seems much more stable and fast on the beefy new desktop compared to my old laptop.

Thanks for letting me know!

Yeah I figured that's what you were trying to figure out, since I 100% went through the same thought process, lol.

I just bought a Mac Mini instead of moving to Linux on the desktop, and am pretty happy with the outcome (everything works) but that's not a solution for everyone.
