I use Resolve for its Color and Fairlight pages, not Cut, Edit or Fusion. I am also very experienced with Avid, but find it clunky these days, great for multi-editor collaborative work though. Now I pretty much use it exclusively and have grown to love it. I prefer FCP as a cutting tool, I’ve been using it since it was FCP7, then reluctantly made the switch to X and hated it for a while. For that extra 10% I go to Resolve for its Color and Fairlight tools. For now and the foreseeable future it will be my choice of platforms with some occasional help from Motion and Logic Pro X.įCP is a really great and powerful cutting tool, it has its limitation sure, but I can achieve most of what I want inside. I also love the organization of libraries, events and project, smart collections with keywords plus the wonderful concept of roles.įCP may not have all the bells and whistles, but it has most of them. It's amazing how easy it is to re-organize the elements of a film while all the sound and graphic elements stay together. I also love the way compound clips and the timeline work. Linking audio (as Resolve and all the others do) doesn't solve this problem. It's this model the lets FCP handle audio effortlessly without losing sync. It's sound, picture, still images, text and one piece of media can include any or all of these. All other editing software is based on the concept of audio and video requiring different tracks-the same way I worked with film where picture and sound always had to be separate. ![]() Maybe I'm one of the few who really liked FCPX from the beginning, but I did because of its editing model. It is still too hard to use, especially for things like simple titles and compositing. And unlike many free versions of programs, Resolve doesn't hide most of its features in the paid version.Since I first began non-linear editing (with Avid) I've wished for an editor that would allow me to do everything in one application-audio, video, animation, graphics, plus great editing. The Studio version, if you need it, is a purchase you make one time. Each Adobe program has a monthly subscription cost but you can get the full suite with their Creative Cloud plan. PricingĪnd the biggest difference between the two is cost. While there are some things that the Adobe suite does that DaVinci Resolve cannot yet do, the program is getting continual major updates adding more functionality with each version. And Resolve is the program leading industry professionals use for color grading, even if they edit in Premiere Pro.

Changing focus in Resolve is as simple as a click. ![]() And if you want to work on effects one moment, then edit a clip, and tweak the audio once you're close to finishing, that means going between Adobe programs and getting the files to sync. Resolve's pages are equivalent to Adobe Programs. DaVinci Resolve is Premiere Pro, Audition, After Effects, and more in one program. ![]() DaVinci Resolve Compared to the Adobe Suite of Programsīut, that's one of the downsides of the Adobe Suite. You won't be in completely unfamiliar territory if you need to edit a photo in Photoshop, adjust audio levels in Audition, or track motion in After Effects. Adobe programs do share a lot of shortcuts, appearance, and behavior. If you want to do more complex effects like motion tracking, you need to open up After Effects, which has its own unique interfaces and functions. Each of these spaces are simplified versions of other Adobe programs. Premiere Pro provides several premade workspaces for assembling media, editing, adding graphics, audio and more. And when you can put any or all of the windows into the same layout, it gets cluttered and unorganized. But sometimes it can get confusing when you can't find one of the windows or you are doing some quick updates at a coworker's computer and their layout is completely different from yours.
