⬇️Installing FireCut

FireCut requires DaVinci Resolve 20+, and supports both Free and Studio versions

Windows and Mac

1. Download and install the latest version of Python 3 from the Python website if you don't already have it. Note: Other installation methods (such as Homebrew) may not work!

2. Download FireCut for your platform using the links in your dashboard.

3. Close DaVinci Resolve, then install and open FireCut.

4. Copy your license key from your dashboard. (If you haven't yet purchased a key, you can start a free trial here. Once you have checked out your free trial through Stripe, you will see your license key in your dashboard.) Paste this key into FireCut → Settings menu.

5. Open DaVinci Resolve, and connect it to FireCut from Workspace → Scripts → FireCut.

Linux

FireCut for DaVinci Resolve is available on Linux as a Debian package (.deb). This package can be installed on any Debian-based distribution, such as Ubuntu, Pop!_OS, or Linux Mint. Afterwards, you'll see the FireCut icon in your applications menu, or you can launch it via the terminal (firecut-davinci).

RPM-based distributions like Fedora can install the Debian package using the alien utility, which converts .deb packages to .rpm format. The documentation for alien can be found here.

Arch-based distributions, including Manjaro, can also install the Debian package using the debtap utility, which can be installed from the AUR (Arch User Repository). The documentation for debtap can be found here.

Automatic updating is not available for Linux, so keep an eye on the homepage for new releases, or join our Discord server to get notified when a new version is released.
