Davinci Free under Linux doesn't support H264. To edit videos, you need to convert them.
Example (from [this reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/davinciresolve/comments/rxja4q/got_davinci_working_on_linux_with_opencl_blank/))
```bash
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a pcm_s16le -f mov output.mov
```

Timeline scrubbing performance is way better with this codec, but comes at the expense of
much greater storage. So likely you'll want to only convert those you need for a project,
and delete them when done. Or else buy a ton of storage.
