Install Flekh in DaVinci Resolve Studio on a Mac

The Resolve plugin has no installer on a Mac. You copy one folder into DaVinci Resolve, which takes about a minute. You need DaVinci Resolve Studio 19.0.2 or later. The free version of Resolve can't run plugins.

1. Download and open the zip

Download the zip (0.7 MB) and open it. You get a folder named com.flekh.resolve. Safari opens the zip for you.

2. Open Resolve's plugin folder

In Finder, choose Go › Go to Folder… (Shift-Command-G). Paste this and press Return:

/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve/Workflow Integration Plugins

Finder says it can't find the folder? Resolve doesn't make it until a plugin needs it. Paste this instead:

/Library/Application Support/Blackmagic Design/DaVinci Resolve

Then choose File › New Folder, name it exactly Workflow Integration Plugins, and open it.

3. Drag the folder in

Drag com.flekh.resolve into that window. If Finder asks, click Authenticate and enter your Mac password.

4. Open Flekh in Resolve

• Quit DaVinci Resolve Studio completely and open it again. It only looks for plugins when it starts.

• Open a project and a timeline.

• Choose Workspace › Workflow Integrations › Flekh and click Sign in.

Update or remove

• Update: delete the old com.flekh.resolve folder from Workflow Integration Plugins, then copy in the new one.

• Remove: delete the com.flekh.resolve folder and restart Resolve.

Can't find it?

• No Workflow Integrations menu: you have the free version of Resolve. Open DaVinci Resolve › About. Studio says “Studio” after the version.

• Flekh isn't in the menu: check the folder is named com.flekh.resolve and sits directly inside Workflow Integration Plugins, then quit and reopen Resolve.

On Windows

Download the installer from the downloads page (pick Windows) and run it. If Windows says it protected your PC, click More info, then Run anyway.
