drwrap-10mb.mp4
A wrapper for Davinci Resolve on Linux that fixes codec & clipboard issues and just works. Currently it:
- Fixes broken drag 'n' drops
- Automatically converts unsupported codecs on import
- Fixes pasting from clipboard
yay -S drwrap
pipx install drwrap
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fedsfarm/drwrap/main/install.sh | shdrwrap setup
Creates/replaces a .desktop entry and a systemd user service
The daemon converts drops, handles Ctrl+V, and heals clips that land in the media pool by other routes. drwrap setup installs and enables it as drwrap.service
Needs FFmpeg + DaVinci Resolve (either edition) installed.
Drop files into ~/Videos/ResolveDrop and they get converted, then imported
automatically on Studio. Converted copies stay in ~/Videos/ResolveIngest —
drag them in yourself on Free, and don't delete the folder, your projects point
at it.
More: commands, config, how it works
drwrap # open Resolve + converter (what the launcher runs)
drwrap daemon # converter only (Resolve already open)
drwrap ingest FILE... # convert + import now (-n shows the decision instead)
drwrap paste # ingest clipboard files (bind to a hotkey)
drwrap setup # --adopt wraps Resolve's own launcher, --remove undoes
drwrap doctor # health check, every problem gets a fix line
drwrap cache # status | prune | clear
drwrap config # init | show | pathOfficially supported and tested by me on Arch + Hyprland with Resolve Studio 21, but it should work on other setups
| Feature | Hyprland | KDE Plasma (Wayland) | Other WMs/DEs |

On Free (no scripting API) converted files are staged in the ready folder for a manual drag into Resolve
I can't test and maintain every platform. PRs are very welcome:
- Platform test — your setup + a row for the table, short video as proof
- Free edition feature — e.g. auto-import for Free (dropped, untested)
- Bug fix
Append ?template=platform-test.md (etc.) to the PR URL to preload one.
