Requires FFmpeg and an existing DaVinci Resolve install, some automation features only work on the paid Studio edition.

in plain english

DRwrap is a small helper program for people running DaVinci Resolve, the video editing software, on Linux. Resolve on Linux has some known rough edges around importing video files and using the clipboard, and DRwrap sits alongside it to smooth those over so editing feels closer to how it works on Windows or Mac. Specifically, it fixes drag and drop so that dragging a video file into Resolve actually works, it automatically converts video files in formats Resolve cannot read into a format it can when you import them, and it fixes copying and pasting clips from the clipboard into a project. It can be installed through the Arch Linux AUR, through pipx, or with a simple install script, and it needs FFmpeg and a copy of DaVinci Resolve, either the free or paid Studio edition, already installed. After installing, running a setup command creates a desktop shortcut and sets up a small background service that keeps watching for files being dropped in or pasted. There is also a dedicated watch folder: any video files dropped there get converted automatically, and on the paid Studio edition they get imported into your project as well, while on the free edition you drag the converted copies in yourself. The tool has been directly tested by its author on Arch Linux with the Hyprland window manager and Resolve Studio, and other setups like KDE Plasma or other desktop environments are expected to work but are less thoroughly confirmed, since not every feature behaves the same way on Resolve's free edition, which lacks a scripting API the tool relies on for some automation. The project welcomes contributions, especially short videos proving a feature works on a platform that has not been tested yet, and it is licensed under the GPLv3.
