From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Mention is made of Resolve, which does work great as a professional grade video editor, and in the next breath codec issues are raised, which are not a Linux issue but proprietary licensing issue.
For a simple workaround in Mint go to: /home/UserName/.local/share/nemo/scripts
Create 2 files to convert videos from the right click menu and make them executable in the Permissions:
#!/bin/bash
for file; do ffmpeg -i "$file" -c:v dnxhd -profile:v dnxhr_hq -pix_fmt yuv422p -c:a pcm_s16le -f mov "${file%.*}".mov
done
And:
#!/bin/bash
for file; do ffmpeg -i "$file" "${file}".mp4
done
Or buy the full version, which is a one-time purchase and solves the license issue AFAIK
I use Resolve Studio, that gives you access to all Resolve features but it does not fix codec licensing issues at the Linux OS level.
It does provide H264/H265 according to Section 3.3 (Arch Wiki)
