*** Quick note about the encoding on this video, I've used the method i example near the end of this video so the quality may not be as high as i would prefer until i find the best bit rate to use. ***

In this video we will go through the procedure of setting up our system and installing Davinci Resolve 15 from Blackmagic Design. This is the free version available for MacOS, Windows and GNU/Linux.

### Setting up our system:

For nVidia cards recommend 390.xx as a minimum, so please ensure you have updated video card drivers BEFORE continuing. For AMD i am not entirely sure as i do not have access to a card for testing.

PLEASE CHECK THAT YOUR VIDEO CARD IS A SUPPORTED DEVICE!

# Prerequisites
sudo apt install libssl1.0.0 ocl-icd-opencl-dev fakeroot

# If libssl1.0.0 fails try this version instead
sudo apt install libssl-dev

If libssl1.0.0 is not in your repos, you can grab it below:

For Debian users:
Jessie: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/amd64/libssl1.0.0/download

For Ubuntu users:
Xenial: https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/libssl1.0.0/download
