The free version has this issue "The free version of DaVinci Resolve on Linux does not support h.264 and h.265." Having to transcode to dnxhr is a bummer. I should probably just buy a dongle though.
It's not just that. With kdenlive (awesome software, btw, kudos to developers!) I can be pretty sure it will still be around next time I need it. With proprietary software, who knows? Maybe Adobe will buy them and start charging exorbitant monthly fees. Or they will go out of business, or...
Yeah I've been bitten by that before. Invest a ton of time in learning a tool and then they drop the free tier or neuter it. Or drop the whole thing altogether like 123D Design :(
