Transcoding mp4 Files For Use In DaVinci Resolve (Free) On Ubuntu Linux 20.10 With Shutter Encoder
Channel: Daniel Rosehill

If you've tried to import mp4 clips into your Da Vinci Resolve on Ubuntu (or any other Linux distro) then you've probably run into a roadblock: Linux doesn't support the H.264 codec. Thankfully, there's a solution: transcoding your clips into a codec that Da Vinci can read directly. There's already a YouTube video on using the ffmpeg CLI to do this, but after posting for help on /r/davinciresolve I was directed to Shutter Encoder which is a GUI that will do the transcoding. I tested this out on a test mp4 and while the file did mushroom in size about six files after being converted to a .mov, it did read just fine in Da Vinci, including the audio track.
