Convert mp4 to Prores mov

Right to the point. Open a terminal or command-line and enter this: ffmpeg -i "video.mp4" -vcodec prores -profile 3 "video.mov" Just substitute "video" with the filename you need. If you don't have fffmpeg installed, get it for free. ffmpeg downloads:  https://www.ffmpeg.org/download.html Explanation For use with DaVinci Resolve, especially for use on Linux where codec supported is more restrictive, you can use ffmpeg to convert to Apple Prores. Typically this might involve converting from mp4 to mov. While those are just containers, mp4 would more commonly use the Prores codec. Hope that helps!

Configure OBS for use with DaVinci Resolve on Linux

DaVinci Resolve supports less codecs on Linux than on Windows. That can present a problem when using OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) which uses defaults that are incompatible. No worries, you can do the following: Go to  Settings > Output . For  Output Mode , select  Advanced . Open  Recording  tab. For  Type , select  Custom Output (FFmpeg) . For  Container Format :  mov . Set  Video Birate  to  5000 . Video Encoder , select  mpeg4 . Audio Encoder , select  pcm_s16be . Ultimately, it should like something like this: That should do it. Click OK or Apply and your recordings should work just fine in OBS.
