I’m using DaVinci Resolve 18.4.1 with an AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT GPU with ROCm drivers on Fedora 37.
DaVinci Resolve is a free video editing application which supports RHEL and is detecting my GPU and claiming to be using OpenCL with it, but thumbnails for media don’t generate, media can’t be previewed, the timeline won’t progress when pressing ‘play’, and video in the timeline isn’t rendered/displayed.
In the screenshot below I am using DNxHD footage which I have successfully used in Resolve on a RHEL system with an Nvidia GPU. However, on my Fedora system with an AMD GPU, Resolve is not rendering and the timeline won’t play/progress at all, even when empty.
Importing JPEG images behaves the same way DNxHD does; no thumbnails generated, video cannot be previewed in any way.
The timeline does progress on the Fairlight page and audio can be played, but only on the Fairlight page.

Is anyone else with an AMD GPU able to get a photo/video to display within DaVinci Resolve in any capacity on Linux?
