DaVinci Resolve Reviews

We've come a long way since the early Resolve versions. So many tools added release after release (and they also come often), it is now a full fledged one-stop video solution. Node canvas is very easy to work with. Clip management is intuitive and fast. BMD's vision is clear: they create the best editor they can to work with their own hardware, but unlike others they make it as easy to work with BMD-camera captured footage than it is with other formats. All this for a very, very cheap price and the option to actually own the software rather than renting (wink wink Adobe?)

Resolve is a professional video workstation, and like every software of this caliber the learning curve can be a bit steep for newcomers; it takes time and practice to really master it. You want pro results? You better get studying!

The free version of this software is almost 100% of the what the paid version offers. No watermarks or sly ways of getting you to pay. Simply great.

It has a learning curve, but nothing that is greater than any other software of this caliber.

As someone new to the program I was first most impressed with it's extensive capabilities.

As someone new to the program I was unable to accomplish anything with it until I watched a tutorial and had done some studying.

We here at Creative Alliance use Davinci Resolve daily to edit our videos. We produce daily videos in our multiple YouTube Channels like REACTION RETREAT and occasionally in our another channel CREATIVE ALLIANCE MUSIC. Editing videos have never been this fun and wide variety of features make this software a must have!

A small integration of post production capabilities like that of After Effects would make this software complete.

I'ts mind-blowing that you can get such powerful suite of tools for post-production for free. With DaVinci Resolve you get NLE, Color Correction, VFX tools and audio post in a single app, which is stable and runs smooth in most of the medium range laptops out there.

Some advanced features requires paying the license, which, in my opinion, isn't too expensive.

Well it's free. And there's no hidden nonsense there - you download and install, and you have a full-scale ad-free film editing suite. I've been using DaVinci Resolve for 3+ years and I've never hit an ad, paywall, pop-up, or anything of the kind.

Aside from being free, DaVinci Resolve has all the features from Adobe and Final Cut that a beginner-to-intermediate user would want. I am still shocked it's free. DaVinci is one of the few software tools that I am genuinely happy to open and start using.

Because it's free, there is no customer support. The forum and knowledge library ecosystem is dense though, and you should be able to get most questions answered easily.

It's also a bit less user-friendly than other bigger name film editing tools. If you have experience using film editing software, the transition won't be too bad as it operates essentially the same as the others. If you have minimal or no experience and want to use DaVinci as a learning tool, it is going to be a harder (and entirely self-taught) transition.

I really loved the colour grading tools, these are very good with better features than other products at higher price points.It has also a very good editing system and export system. this will meet the needs of any amateur to semi professional users. I am not a fulltime Hollywood editor so i cant really comment on above what I make use of it for.

This has been able to deliver on all that i have needed it to. There are features that I am not able to use because those are only available in the paid version but it is a small price to pay for what you are already getting and more.

What I appreciate about Davinci Resolve is its simplified yet powerful interface. As a long-time user of another competing software, it was quite refreshing to see how easy it was to get up and running with Davinci Resolve. With just a few clicks, I had access to all the tools needed for professional-quality videos such as color grading, audio mixing, and advanced effects. The fact that Blackmagic design took the time to make their software so user-friendly really impressed me.

Switching from one video editing software to another can be a daunting task, especially when faced with the complexity of Davinci Resolve. Despite its many features and capabilities, getting used to the different interfaces takes time and training. For new users, it may not be so intuitive at first glance. However, with patience and practice, users will begin to understand how this powerful program works. The design is well-organized thanks to its various menus and layouts that allow for easy navigation throughout the timeline. It provides extensive tools for color correction which allows editors to tweak colors accurately in order to achieve a desired look or feel for their projects. Overall, Davinci Resolve offers an array of options that give users greater control over their edit process but it does require some adjustment before you can start using it effectively.

What I liked most about this software is that it contains fully functioning and powerful features even for the free version. The Color Grading feature is also one of the best compared to similar video editing software. It has flexible editing capabilities and support a wide variety of file formats.

The software is not the most intuitive to learn. However, I was able to learn the basics fairly quickly through free resources online. The nodes view on the Fusion tab is less intuitive than other software that is layer based. However, it can be equally effective once you master the skill. The audio editing tool is less advanced and there are also fewer third-party plug-ins compared to other similar software.

it is FREE, and feature packed at the same time. I always take Davinci Resolve as the perfect example of FREE software which is actually usable.

There are absolutely no any dislike. This is all I need and I really love using it for my work.

How you can customize it to fit your workflow. The color grading is amazing. I am learning new things every day. The software allows you to produce amazing work. The cost is great i got the studio version and a control surface for under $400! no yearly subscription fees and free upgrades! No software out there is doing this! You can even get the basic version for free to work with it to see if you like it.

I have not found any yet. I have worked with it over six months and have had no problems that were not solved by a visit to You Tube
