CalicosinePetition to have it so Blackmagic Design has Linux users pay separately for AAC audio codec support as an add-on to Resolve Studio so at least there's a way for Linux users to have all the codecs easily if they want them and make it so the cost doesn't have to increase for anyone else. This doesn't excuse patents existing, in this case patents for math, I just want easy AAC usage.<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/VideoEditing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VideoEditing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Resolve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Resolve</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DaVinciResolve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DaVinciResolve</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ResolveStudio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ResolveStudio</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/LinuxVideoEditing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LinuxVideoEditing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SoftwarePatents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwarePatents</a>

Jan AntošSoftware patents are evil, I can imagine to be patented some specific algorithms (such mp3 was) but generic patents such this one, that in theory patented any data analytical engine shall never existed. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/softwarepatents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#softwarepatents</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/dataanalytics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#dataanalytics</a> I am really scared to develop any idea. <a href="https://patents.google.com/patent/US9275031B2/en" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://patents.google.com/patent/US9275031B2/en</a>

CalicosineFor some reason I can't hear anything if I convert an audio track in place with <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/ffmpeg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ffmpeg</a> to be PCM audio in an MP4 file and put that on Resolve's first audio track, but it works if I move it to track 2. Still can't see the waveforms, though. Sure I could extract the audio, but then it's slightly longer than the video for some reason. This is necessary on <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Linux</a> because it doesn't support AAC audio (I hate <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/SoftwarePatents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SoftwarePatents</a> ).<a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Resolve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Resolve</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/DaVinciResolve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DaVinciResolve</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/EndSoftwarePatents" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EndSoftwarePatents</a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/VideoEditing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#VideoEditing</a>
