It’s unlikely they use DaVinci Resolve in their major production workflow, they develop their own internal tools with patients up the ass. These Major studios are in direct competition with each other, they’re not going to freely give away their trade secrets just like that; it’d end up getting reverse engineered. We know they primarily use Linux because they’ve (each) publicly stated so on multiple occasions.
As well as their public contributions to Open Source that point to this conclusion. For example, the previously mentioned Academy SoftWare Foundation(ASWF) provides a platform for open source software developers in the media and entertainment industry to share resources and work together on technologies for image creation, visual effects, animation, and sound production. The founding members of the ASWF include Blue Sky Studios, Cisco, DreamWorks Animation, Epic Games, Google Cloud, Intel, Walt Disney Studios, and Weta. Over 80% of the film production industry uses and produces open source software, most especially for visual effects and animation.
Are you serious right now? Resolve is used by all major British TV networks like BBC and Channel 4. Resolve was used in making such movies and series like Alien: Covenant, Pirates of the Caribbean, Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Protege, Star Wars: The Last Jedi (and pretty much most modern Star Wars productions), Thor: Love And Thunder, Black Widow (and pretty much ALL Marvel movies). You will be hard pressed to find any high budget movie or TV programme made without Resolve.
DaVinci Resolve is an industry standard. If you’re not using it, you’re not making movies.
Fair enough, but that may very well only prove that Hollywood mains Linux as Resolve has made some promises to improve the Linux version which wouldn’t be necessary otherwise.
Proofs? I mean even Resolve doesn’t work properly on Linux and a lot of features are missing.
