An i5 4460 @ 3.2ghz, 16gb of RAM, SSD, GTX 750 from ~6 years ago. My exact hardware list is here[0].

Every time I export videos of any format with Resolve it adds weird black artifacts and audio pops to my videos. The audio pops happen in every video and it only happens in the exported video, it's fine in the timeline. I'm only dealing with 1080p 30 fps videos too. These issues happen on Windows too with Resolve where as video editing tools like Camtasia are super fast and I have no problems even after 400+ videos.

I tried so hard to switch. Spent close to an entire week trying to debug everything and couldn't resolve it (pun intended).

Besides that, the machine works really well for overall Dockerized Flask + Rails + Webpack development / ops work / recording screencast videos with OBS / video editing with Camtasia / 1080p gaming (although I have a 2560x1440 monitor) so I haven't really had a strong urge to retire this workstation and build a new one.

Have you reported your issues to Resolve? ANother thing, did you try on other distros, and did you get the exact same problems?

I posted the details about what happened along with sample videos on the forums but it never got a response. Resolve doesn't offer email support for the free version and the paid version has no trial so I have no way to test if things would get fixed with the studio version.

I tested it on Debian (unstable channel at the time), but the same problem happens on Windows too. If I were to try Linux again it would involve setting up a dual boot and maybe trying Arch, or at this point Debian stable maybe (when I tried unstable it was before Buster was available).
