Give Davinci a week or so - it's incredibly easy to learn. Little tip here - once you import your clips, select them all, right click and choose 'Create Optimized Media". The level of optimization can be chosen by clicking on 'Project Settings' and then on "Master Settings". Scroll down and you'll find the settings for Optimized Media and Render Cache". This gives super smooth playback even on an underpowered laptop. Good luck and to hell with Adobe!
@Colin - is Davinci Resolve really that easy to learn and use? :) I would use for basic editing, some transitions like “cross-solve”’ dip and soke ehip and pan effects in the beginning, but at first Davinci looks pretty complex and scary to me. Do you use it on PC or iMac? Which config do you have (cpu/gpu) many thanks 😊
I can't say it's easy to learn. I tried it, but the simplest edits have taken me hours. I could never put too much time into it, because I'm spoiled with final cut speeds and the workflow. Honestly I'm still interested, but I would need a Davinci Editor by my side during edits to help me to make the switch.
@@marcelpetzold would you share with me your configuration, please? PC or iMac? which cpu, which gpu do you have? it works smoothly, right? Herzlichen Dank 😊
Yeah, basically Adobe went for "pay us to work for us" kind of business model. That's what I came to feel after I had to put hideous amount of hours in debugging.
@@mattparker267 Well I watched the beginning which was overly dramatic and obviously staged. But then had to get back to editing in Premiere which went fine. Do you normally answer questions with questions?
@@robbrown3543 I've come to learn that not all machines are configured the same. And this can cause huge problems for some. I'm not talking about quality of equipment, but configuration. Back in Jan '15, Adobe did a major upgrade (if memory serves it was 15.1 or 2). It wrecked performance on some machines. Example: grab and drag the play head and maybe 30 seconds later the play head would actually move, with the lag times increasing to minutes and worse. On the forums I saw testimonials from people with Mac's, PC's, new, old, plain and pimped out. It's almost like when medicines help most people, but some have allergic reactions. Many Windows 10 users are experiencing similar problems with 'updates'. It's just that different configs react in different ways. Both Adobe and MS know this. MS used to have a dedicated shop to test diff configs for these adverse reactions, but they shut it down. I don't know about Adobe, but I suspect the same. And, I repeat. THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. On my machine, for instance, the blue frame handles randomly disappear. I've complained repeatedly with no response, and eventually found one or two 'work arounds' that sometimes do the trick. But, why should I have to find workarounds? We pay for this stuff. It should work as defined. Then they have the nerve to ask, how can we improve?
Yep. WHAT exactly are the problems? I heard people in other videos list some. But in this one I have absolutely no clue whyt the complaints are. What a waste of time.
Thanks for your criticism! In fact, in this video we didn't mention exactly what the problems with Premiere are. But we will record a second video, where we get deeper into these topics! :)
@@christophmagnussen I think you did mentioned the main problem at around 2:00 .. the issue what I understood (as a newbie and I can relate) is the technical & performance issues. Premiere is not fast and technically smooth as it should be in 2019. It was a blessing upto 2015ish though..
Premier Pro went to hell when it went offshore and required a monthly subscription, Adobe's management killed a great product with cooperate greed and incompetence.
i had to use pp at work 2000 to 2005 crashes every 15minutes - I would take work home and edit using FCP studio get shows done Quick and Fun - FCPX is Basic FUK apple
The thing is that Premiere uses old code, and it's very CPU driven. Final Cut and Davinci are newer internally. That is why apple killed Final Cut 7. FCPX and Davinci kill Premiere in performance and stability. Plus you only pay once. No brainer.
Switched to Davinci Resolve Studio few years ago. Performance is night and day compared to Premiere. Renders are magnitudes faster. Colour tools are second to none. I can edit 4k without proxies. Scrubbing is buttery smooth. Powerful audio tools. Only negatives, I prefer After Effects to Fusion. Titles are slow. Interface lacks the same amount of customisation as Premiere. Overall though, Resolve is THE software to own if you are a video pro.
Ya I miss AE for layer based mograph, especially if paired with PS or alternative. & all those plugins invested in AE. Resolve is connected at the hip to GPU... To be fair Fusion is an amazing compositing app but nodal based is totally different mindset(difficult transition)
Can I ask you what your PC specs are, please? My experience with DaVinci has been terrible so far. Also: I see the guys in the videos work with 24 fps. What do you usually work with? Because it seems that DaVinci becomes a nightmare with 4K at 60 fps (what I work with).
Yeah, node base is light years faster when creating Hollywood tier 3D FX's but for basic motion graphics etc. it's just too much. Setting up the nodes needed takes just as much time as making the whole process with layers, but then again, Nodes kick in when you need to be able to work with dozen different effects in one shot. Sometimes when I edit a project that has huge amount of effects and motion graphics etc. I think to myself "why I never learned the node based workflow any better". To me layer vs node is same as managing a project. After Effects is like putting all the clips in same folder and working the project fast that way and Fusion is like creating perfectly organized tree of footage and assets and keeping it clean the whole way to finnish line. It takes time, but if you have to double check stuff or change something on the fly, you find it instantly. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO PRECOMP ANYTHING FFS LOL
@@eliteextremophile8895 I don't necessarily agree. Pre-Comping is a great way to create structure inside a project when used well, and has very few downsides imo. If there's two adobe "softwares" that were really done right imo it's Photoshop and After Effects. (Haven't worked with Animate/XD/Dreamweaver though)
I switched to Davinci Resolve, and have never looked back. So many things to like. One of them is how fast they are developing the software. Every year you get a huge new upgrade - and it's free if you bought the Studio license in the past. Then their color tools are so far ahead of Premiere Pro or Final Cut, and to me being able to get my footage looking EXACTLY how I want it, with tools that I now consider to be better than those in Lightroom, is worth its weight in gold. I also love Fusion and Fairlight. BTW - the reason why the tracker didn't track your head very well is simple, you included too many areas that were outside of your head. To do it best, make the circle track points inside the outline of your head, and after the tracker has finished, then increase the size of the circle (Power Window) to include any other areas you want adjusted.
It just blows my mind how something like LumaFusion running on an iPad Pro is out-performing my current high end laptop running Premiere Pro. Even something simple like just playing a 5.7k clip. LumaFusion just plays works and exports are super fast.
Hey, just chiming in on the video to let you know that you're making the right choice :D. I've worked with Resolve professionally for years now and feel pretty confident with the software. It has its quirks and bugs, still, but the hardware optimization and color grading power make it overwhelmingly good. As you were wondering about the different pages/tabs, let me give you a rundown: 1. Media page: I never use it, since you can drag and drop files on the Edit page, create virtual folders and just keep your stuff organized that way. Maybe if your projects get incredibly large the Media page proves itself useful. 2. Cut page: This is a very new feature to Resolve and to be honest, quite unfinished. Despite its "freshness" to put it kindly, the Cut page offers two really cool features. The first one is a film strip view of all your source footage. So every source clip you have for the footage is displayed as one video and you can scroll through, insert in/out points and insert clips to your timeline without having to select individual source files and waste time. The second cool feature is in Resolve 16.3 Beta, and that is footage synchronization based on audio/timecode/whatever, without having to create multicam clips for it. The Cut page has a separate button, layout and automization for footage synchronization and this will make it super easy to get your footage in sync. 3. Edit page: Has everything you'll need to create a video, file management, powerful cutting tools and some quick audio mastering and editing. As a highlight I'd mention the trim tool, that covers pretty much 4 tools in Premiere very intuitively. As a negative, the Title tools are way worse than in Premiere (why I still use After Effects, see below). 4. Fusion page: Fusion is much worse than After Effects in Motion graphics. You CAN create motion graphics but when you get into it, it's immediately apparent that it wasn't built for that. Fusion is, however, much better than AE in 3D compositing and tracking. The Fusion tracking tools demand a lot from the user, but also give a lot in return. I still use AE for every video edit I've created in Resolve, 100% because of the motion graphics work I do. 5. Color page: Too much to talk about. Industry standard. Better than anything else. Incredible, love it, no negatives, honestly. 6. Fairlight: Very powerful audio editing tool. I'm not the most experienced audio tech, but I know my way around equalizers, compressors and noise reduction. The good thing is that it's built into Resolve, the bad (at least as far as I've understood) is that it's missing some cool Audition tools like automatic click remover. So whenever my LAV microphones are hastily put on the talent and the audio has some weird scratches and clicks on it, I need to take it through Audition before Resolve. 7. Deliver page: Pretty straight forward. I love the hardware optimized render times. Fuck off Adobe with your "multiple cores??????????". All in all, I dislike Premiere, love Resolve and After Effects and keep Audition as a backup. My full workflow is: Resolve for everything else -> Render out a DNxHR / ProRes master (or several depending on layer complexity) -> After Effects for compositing, Motion Graphics -> Media Encoder for final delivery. Cheers!
KShow When you learn how Fusion works and different tools that offers is so much faster for creating and using, re-using motion graphics then AE that is beyond imagination.
@@NakovGoce I understand what you mean. But creating pixel perfect smooth animations with grid control, snapping, color libraries and vector graphics support (non existent in resolve) is still essential to a graphic design artist. Resolve Fusion doesn't even have real time audio playback (or any audio playback at all) for syncing your animations to music/dialogue. That's straight up a show stopper right there. Sure it would be nice to work natively and use some cool 3D particle effects and stuff, but they're just a small "nice to have" in the very demanding big picture.
@@KaarloMedia Vector graphics are supported thru SVG files. I didn't find Audio support a problem because switching edit/fusion tab is so easy and fast so I am syncing audio without a problem thru edit tab. It is a different approach but as I said, once you embrace it, is so much faster then AE/PP back and forth, not to mention that Adobe Dynamic Link can be so buggy sometimes. The only tool I am really missing is puppet tool :(. Agree on grid snapping.
@@NakovGoce Yeah having worked with dynamic link for years, I can attest to the buggyness. It's a lovely feeling when a large project for a client suddenly stops working (won't open) after a few years of working just fine. This happened more than I dare to count. For now this Resolve -> Render -> AE works for me and I'll make the full switch when the time comes. Not anytime soon, though.
@@christophmagnussen I would say there are little laguages that sound as brash when swearing as German... maybe russian. And in German you can make really creative swearwords due to combined nouns.
I cut the cord to Adobe a year ago. I use Davinci Resolve for video editing. Affinity Photo and Affinity Design. I haven't looked back towards Adobe at any point. Luminar 4 looks like a good Lightroom replacement. Viva the revolution !!!!!!
When I see such videos I always wonder why I don't run into any of these major issues with Premiere. That said, I love what Blackmagic does with Davinci because a monopoly is bad for the users. In every industry we need competition to drive innovation. Just look at the CPU space and what AMD is doing there with intel! :D
Right, I have been using Premiere for 4 years now no issues. I would use resolve but their multi-screen options suck. I love using 4 monitors to edit in Premiere and I can customize the layout however I want.
People's problems with premiere aren't the program, it's their lack of knowledge/skill and poor hardware. You gotta spend to work with 5k and 8k with any software.
@@EDDSkitz Well, it's not only the hardware that is the problem. My sister is not dumb with computers at all and customised her own machine, (quite a beast I can add). As far as I know she NEVER shoots (and thus edits) anything beyond Full HD AVCHD at something like 27 Mbit or so. But the complaints I hear from her are countless. There are so many things that keep getting reset or changed with an update that I find it ridiculuous for such a (relatively) expensive piece of software. I only do stuff as a hobby and I'm glad I went for a rather consumer-grade program (Vegas Movie Studio). I just like the fact I don't have to pay for it monthly but just pay for it once and use it for as long as I like/the computer/OS supports it. Yes, Vegas Movie Studio does not offer the extensive support for 'strange' (read: non-consumer) files, but it's definitely a powerful program.
As someone working in an agency, a proxy workflow really isn't a big deal, in fact it usually takes less than a couple hours from start to finish and there's always other work that can be done whilst it's happening in the background on another computer. We shoot on the Arri Alexa Mini at 3.2K, any resolution higher is arguably unnecessary for most uses. What will often happen is we'll use Davinci to create proxies and import all of our footage into premiere with the proxies linked. When there, we'll edit the whole video start to finish benefiting from all of adobes effects, effect controls and after effects dynamic linking (Which is honestly too big to give up) Davinici doesn't compare in flexibility. Once finished we can swap back proxies and export an XML to davinci to grade if necessary : most of the time it's not. There's no need at all to shit on one software for not wearing all of the hats, that's not how it works in the industry. Both softwares have their strengths and weakness'. Nobody serious in the industry solely use one software. Learn both. Use both but I wouldn't recommend just straight up jumping ship. If you look to the CG industry you'll see what I mean, it takes a minimum of 3 softwares and often more like 6, just to get a single finished shot.
@@Plaayaa69 Just search " how to import a premiere pro timeline into davinci resolve" and you'll get something. It's only a couple of clicks to export an XML and import it into davinci. Only down side is that you'll need to Bake any AE linked comps and import them with the XML, We would always use a Prores 422 HQ, Or A ProRes 4444. For making proxies in davinci, just search it on youtube and you'll get it, as for importing into premiere. Just import your original footage, then select all of your footage in the project window and right click and select "Link Proxies', Once you link one, they should all autolink, from there you can toggle your Proxies on and off with the 'toggle proxies' button in premiere.
You made the right choice lads. Little advice: use the resolve native keyboard layout. Resolve wants to be used in its own way. Learn the new shortcuts and you'll never have an issue.
Ouch! Having never used Adobe Premiere, you all have my sympathy. I keep reading, or seeing how awful it is. I gave up using Adobe tools when they went to subscription. I am really glad that I did. Davinci has a lot of things like Final Cut Pro, from the videos I have watched. Those boxes you were dragging around, that are joined by lines are like modelling/ workflow tools. I have used systems like that in “business”, but not in video editing. I hope that you become productive and effective quickly. I look forward to following your learning and managing change. Good luck.
I started with Photoshop 5.0 back in the day. Paid over $600 for a perpetual license. Bought the upgrades as they came out. Bought several other apps. Probably spent close to $4,000 over the years. Then Adobe got greedy and my "perpetual" licenses were for all intents and purposes, worthless. Adobe slammed the door in my face. I still use Lightroom but I think I've found a replacement. Adobe can rot in Hell.
When I started diving into video editing, I used Lightworks free version and eventually upgraded to their full version. Messed around with Fusion for graphics stuff before I got a job editing real estate video tours and had to learn Adobe Premiere and After Effects -- I liked the integration and abandoned Lightworks and other free models. I lost my video editing job and could only afford to pay for the single premiere app but seeing that more and more prominent figures are willing to take a look at Fusion makes me want to take my money away from adobe's exploitative pricing model.
I use FCPX running on an iMac Pro, super smooth playback no matter the codec I throw on the timeline, crazy fast workflow and render times, it’s a very powerful and optimized editing tool, its a no brainer for anyone working on Macs. I use Apple’s Motion for additional effects. I only use Adobe softwares for photography, video isn’t an option as it’s really far behind the competition.
Ich bin Mediendesigner für Audiovision und arbeite seit 2 Jahren in meiner Stelle täglich mit Davinci Resolve und kenne alle Facetten des Programms, und ich muss sagen ich fühle hier total mit euch. Habe ebenso zuvor mit FinalCut, Premiere und sogar Ende der 90er mal an einer analogen Konsole gearbeitet. Es geht einfach nix über dessen Geschwindigkeit, Präzision, Colour Managment, FX und gar im Audio Bereich brauch ich selten dazu noch ne aktuelle DAW. Multiangle-Funktioner sind großartig ...und der Punkt ist: wir wissen Zeit ist Geld - Diese Programm ist einfach wirtschaftlich und eine Freude in der Anwendung. Beste Grüße aus Dortmund, Chris
I come from Premiere and Final Cut and moved to Davinci Resolve. And I will never go back. This app is crazy. You need to give it some time. It is the same as if you came from DaVinci and moves to Premiere. Stuff is different in all apps. Davinci is just everything is one box. Even with Fusion and Lightwave.....
I hope Adobe sees this. I'm sick of Premiere crashing whenever I try to render. I'm tired of all the weird legacy tools that don't make sense. The UI is awful and learning it is frustrating because nothing is intuitive...
I used Resolve for while and then switched back to Premiere because I completely missed the Premiere/After effects/C4D workflow and found Fusion just a pain in comparison ( it's like learning the whole craft again from scratch without any of your go to AE plugins. ) There's a lot of things I don't like about Resolve too, as someone making motion graphics to music there's nothing like beatmatch for Resolve which kills my workflow and the you can't group audio plugins into folders. The keyframe section in colour mode does not scroll in real time ( that seriously needs a fix. ) Also just give me the standard save, save as and duplicate for projects too, I hate all that propriety save crap, just let me do my own project management. I completely missed the ability to just select a section and render it out too. I'm also not convinced about the auto render either, especially when you get into the fusion side where everything just really bogs down compare to AE. I'm on OSX though and, to be honest, I found Resolve crashed a lot more on my machine than Premiere ( 2018 MBP. ) On the plus side Davinci will let me use my Vega 64 Razer Core X eGPU though and color grading is superb no doubt, but I just missed the C4D/AE/Premiere workflow too much to switch.
Bill Borez so good to read your experiences and so glad that you shared your thoughts ☺️ I have just ordered a 2019 27" 5K iMac with top hardware and I am looking forward sooo much to jump into Premiere, because for me it fits and looks so great and the complete timeline/tools is so friendly and easy-to-use for me
I made the switch recently from Premiere Pro to Davinci Resolve Studio 16 and haven’t looked back. After watching just a few tutorials about using the timeline, and node based colour tools, that was enough to get started. I now look forward to opening up Davinci each day. Rendering is super fast - even for 4K - and no need for proxies either. Good luck with the change !
YEEEEEEESSSS! This NEEDED to be said - thank you! I have contacted Adobe a dozen times about these exact same issues, and I have seen NO results! Every update makes the software WORSE! Thanks for making this video.
I'm extremely new to using video editing tools/software of any kind (Exactly one week) and downloaded a whole bunch of things to try, Lightworks, Adobe, Davinci etc. Within 20 minutes of poking about, dragging and dropping and messing around with edits I'd made my first video using Davinci. I use Cakewalk Sonar Platinum for all my audio work at the studio and I found Davinci to be quite similar in functionality and ease of use. Very impressed and relieved I don't have to endure an enormous learning curve (I'm sure there's LOADS of stuff I'm not aware of) but to get me up and running and saving a whole heap of time and money, I'd recommend Davinci in a heartbeat. Great job and great video too guys.
I'm not a professional but glad that I have been using DaVinci Resolve from the beginning, it's a pain to see that your pc hanged when you're editing with Premiere Pro. I use the free version btw I opt for this because I'm cheap XD
I've been getting on really well with Resolve, its pretty easy to learn and tutorials have helped a tonne. Only issue is my computer sucks and it's slow, but thankfully there are things you can do to optimise that. Overall it a great piece of free software, probably the best free video editor out there.
I switched to Davinci Resolve around a year ago and immediately noticed a massive improvement in responsiveness and playback, especially when using optimised media (proxies). I recently did a test, comparing an equivalent 4K timeline with one in Premiere. Resolve was able to optimise the footage in less than 24 minutes but Premiere took nearly 90 minutes to convert the same clips. Resolve was able to render out the project in 11 minutes but Premiere took nearly 40 minutes, for exactly the same footage. The difference in performance is simply incredible.
I'm PRO Da Vinci but for the rendering I think that can depend on the computer allot due to that Premiere uses CPU more and Da Vinci uses GPU. So if you use Premiere a good CPU is better and for Da Vinci a good GPU is better =) But other than spending years in Premiere knowing the in and outs, Da Vinci is taking over more and more. Hope it becomes a more standard program for in house content/production companies =)
From what I understood, Adobe is too slow, will freeze, give you white screens etc. The render time is long too and will lag and or crash during edits. Editing isn't smooth even with a beast of a computer. Now I think that Davinci actually use Machine learning for some of its features to actually do some tasks quicker and or help categorize things. Like mentioned on their website; Davinci can automatically categorize clips depending on the actors in that clip using facial recognition etc.
Getting back to editing. Used Premiere Pro in 05, stint in Vegas in 06, stint in 2010 with Final Cut, but Premiere as and when till 2014. Glad I decided to try DaVinci instead of throwing sunk cost to Adobe! This video made me feel better about me trying to learn Resolve!
This is my experience too. Last week I spent a whole morning trying to figure out why my timeline UI simply wasn't updating in PR. I finally got it to work by undocking and closing my audio levels panel. So now I have to edit video without seeing my audio levels if I want to get anything done. I'm running a $10k workstation, with hardware recommended for this. There's zero excuse for this. When I do contact support I don't actually get help, I become a QA tester tasked with trying every edge case for them. "Try only using one monitor" "Try removing one of the GPUs" ect... It would be one thing if this was a one off, but I've had this same or similar experience on every system (Mac or PC) that I've run in the last 5 years. I really feel like I'm paying every month for the software to get worse.
If you render with Media Encoder instead of inside Premiere you can be working on another project while it renders. Does not lock down Premiere that way.
Believe it or not but when I got premiere Pro and after effects. I didn't know how to use them. So no surprise you have to either read the manual or watch some of the now many tutorials. A year later I love davinci and will never be paying Adobe again. ..
the best part about davinci resolve that we have found is running a project server, we can have our editors, colourists and sound post working on the same project at the same time in real time....
I supervise a team who worked with Premiere Team Projects to edit TV shows. The tools are great and the program was incredible in the beginning but now these new versions shouldn't even be called alpha builds. It crashes all the time, I spend more time googling tech problems for the less techy employees than coloring and audio mixing, and there are just too many work arounds for simple things. I moved my independent business to Resolve when 15 was announced to have a usable and powerful timeline. I have 8 years of experience coloring in Resolve but the timeline was not good enough for cutting anything for me until version 15. Now version 16 is out and we are close to making the jump here. We've tested it with the free version on non-team project jobs and it's proven to handle RED, DNG, and pretty much anything else without a sweat.
I love how davinci resolve has simplified video editing with all amazing features to customize effects in a single software. It's scary at first but once we learnt tutorials, it's super easy, making work flow super fast than we can ever imagine.
I switched to Resolve last month. Adobe has killed their software with the latest updates. I had an hour video for a client and Adobe was going to take 71 hours to render! Contacted support and they blamed my computer and hardware. I preceded to tell them if that’s true... then why a separate video in Resolve that’s 48 minutes long took only 25 minutes to render and export at 4K with 2 luts applied and color correction and reframing!! There was silence and then I was hung up on by Adobe support.
Bruh. I have the opposite. My Render time on Davinci was for a 3 Minute Video 30 Minutes of render time, This makes me really sad cause before some months it only was about 3 mins
@@robo9798 Did you update Resolve? Davinci had some issues before because of an update Windows did. I experienced that. But Black Magic released an update not too long after that fixed the issue. This is what has happened with Adobe and they refuse to admit it is a software problem. Even After Effects is having the same problem as Premiere. I made a 20 second clip in After Effects and it took 21 minutes to render!!
@@jarrodames139 No I didn't the reason was with the newer update there was a bug or it could be just a change that was a really big Problem for me so i downgraded but now my audio track After some time working with 60 FPS Starts to moving where my Cursor is just a little but this is really bad so i will i Think Upgrade tomorrow
"Untitled Project, always a good name" *stares at my folder* Untitled Project 1 Untitled Project 2 Untitled Project 3 Untitled Proj... Yep. Can confirm.
If you have the free version your render times will be slower because they limit you to 1 GPU. Your effects are also limited. The paid version allows for multiple GPUs for even faster rendering times.
It’s been 7 months since the video. Have you guys switch do Resolve? I am currently testing it for my small business in South Africa. Being able to use a free program that is “better” is obviously very enticing to me.
Used Premiere for strong 3 years. When it works, it's marvellous. However it's becoming buggy as hell with every new version. I already advised them to stop launching a news version every year - this is not feasible. The Creative Cloud is becoming a Cloud of Bugs. I had to give up Premiere. I'm a happy Final Cut Pro user now. It's simpler, but it does most of the job, and with some nice Plug-Ins (motionVFX), it gets to the pro level easily, with nothing missing from the Adobe family. Faster, more reliable, never more I had to go to sleep waiting for a render, just to discover that the render stopped in the middle of the night for some random problem. It made my life miserable for months, when I finally decided to migrate to FCPX, I had to pay good amount of cash for the software and plug-ins, but now, if I have to stay awake in the night, it's because I'm editing, producing, and not babysitting piece of software........ Da Vinci Resolve? I would go for it, but my other production folks were already on FCPX, so I decided to keep that way.
I have been professionally working as an editor since the past 7 years... have worked on a couple of web series, docu series as well as a lot of ad films that play around on tv yt and theatres.... The things that you are looking at such as timeline playback or export time is sort of secondary when it comes to editing... Yes davinci resolve 16.1 is very promising no doubt but it is still far from being a complete edit software for full time professional editing.... The number of export options that premiere has such as the mxf_opa1... dnxhd... avc intra for broadcast... also opening multiple projects there is a huge list... resolve is a very good grading (used by top colorists in hollywood) and sound mixing software right now.... Generally the process followed is that the editor makes the cut... gives an xml or edl for grade... omf or aaf for sound and there are technicians who work on it seperately according to their own software preferences... resolve as an editor is good for individual content creators who shoot edit color grade and sound mix and do everything by themselves.... I have nothing against your video and i hope i haven't offended you in any way... but when you will be working on complex edits is the time when you will realize why premiere avid and fcp 7 (yes fcp 7 used by some old school editor) are still preferred as a complete NLE softwares...
you guys did the same thing i did when i first got DaVinci Resolve Studio, rejected the cut tab immediately. i embraced it after about a week and god i love it
My PC does not have an external video card. I shoot ML raw videos with my Canon camera.I was first converting it with after effect and then editing it with premiere. It was 20 minutes for 1 minute video to render by making Noise Reduction in After Effect.And it comes to the CPU 80c temperatures.Then I decided to try DaVinci. At first the program seemed too complicated to me .But I realized that all the adobe programs are in one place and very easy to use software and getting rendered by Noise Reduction is very fast. My processor Ryzen 3 3200G with internal 2 Gb Radeon 8 vega graphics card .There is 24Gb Ram in my system.Adobe using 20GB of Rams but Davinci just using 8GB of Rams when rendering. The CPU almost never exceeds 20%. and the GPU goes up to 66c.Although I love Adobe so much, now I only use Davinci. I'm not even talking about monetary issues. Now I plan to buy myself a BlackMagic Cinema 4K camera...
Wow...... I have no issues at all with Adobe on my MAC, in last 5 years..... trying to understand but not sure what are you talking about guys..... And I'm a Premiere user who is gonna switch to Davinci too soon, to try. But no point making a video where you don't explain the issue and when you mention confusing concepts.... "movies" you mean like feature movies??? Netflix stuff??? filmmaking as? making films? for cinemas? or you mean you guys do vLogging? youtube videos???? asking all this because the issues you may find in one kind of project and work flow is different to another.... so seriously what are you talking about guys? full respect i'm just really confuse.....
Really? But Premiere is optimized for NVIDIA GPU's and Mac's use AMD GPU's, the performance difference was huge last time I tried it. What Mac do you own?
I totally got where they were coming from with the bugs. 2019 has been an absolute disaster for me and my latest short doc. I can no longer export from the timeline and when I export to AME instead, weird things happen like clips are in b&w, audio plays from 30secs earlier in the film, text clips from Essential graphics render as offline clips, etc. It took me 3 straight days, no sleeping, to come up with a workflow where I prerendered 30sec bits of the film (anything longer and the project would crash) then use the previews to export a ProRes HQ file. Anything else crashes. My colorist had similar nightmares w/ playback and crashes, and he has a 10core iMac Pro. Premiere seems to work ok for basic edits, but in my experience, anything complicated leads to disaster. As such, I have no idea how it would be possible to edit a feature on Premiere given the current circumstances.
I gave up Premiere Pro years ago. After trying all video editing software, I finally ended up with Edius Pro. My workflows needs a fast one. Really love how Edius can mix different resolution footages, even different frame rates in realtime without rendering! What I love the most is the rendering speed, nothing can beat it. Any other editing software relies on GPU as well, but Edius is completely processor-based software, so you can have less on investing the hardware too. You can try this one as an alternative for video editing. Wish you all the best.
Such a good software! I've been using 15 for over a year now and I'm gonna switch to 16 shortly after my next paycheck. I tried Premiere, but the last straw was when it took me an hour and a half to export a three minute video with nothing but an audio spectrum, two still images, and a blur. Meanwhile the same video in Davinci along with camera shake and a png for cinema bars took less than 10 minutes!
My complain i wrote to adobe : i got no idea why am i paying for the software that doesn't work. The pirated version 3 years ago is just better then the 2019 one and i am using the pirated version instead of 2019 one. (while im paying for the adobe cc)
most of subscriptions based companies (aka mostly american ones) which switch to this model few years ago, stop trying, because they don't need to and they're just ripping costumers off by their ex glory. sadly, even microsoft follow this path. but thank god there's some others which don't follow that and only because of them, you seeing some progress in software development (but not as near as much like let say decade or more ago, when you pull out tested and highly developed product every few years, not this update bs).
Sehr unterhaltsames Video, vor allem am Schluss mit dem Direktvergleich mit Premiere 😁 Bin auch umgestiegen und bei DaVinci Resolve seit Version 14. Wirkt am Anfang erst mal heftig und man denkt es trifft einem der Schlag. Doch nach ner kurzen Eingewöhnungszeit bin ich sehr zufrieden mit Resolve. Auch Fusion hat man nach ner Weile verstanden.
I made the switch 3 months ago after a decade with premiere. And I'm so happy with the change, feels like I finally have a tool I can work together with, instead of constantly argue and beg.
Vegas is the fastest cutter, editor. The export codec suck, though. They don't want to license real professional codecs. Vegas user for 10 years, Vegas frustrated for 10 years.
@@defiverr4697 I agree with you on that one, it actually depends on the project... Some times premiere works better sometimes it doesn't work at all, vegas has a an awful codec but if your projects are simple its much faster than any other editor
i started being angry with adobe over premiere instability issues, then started to be fed up with little user interface things, like the subtitles, the window arrangements, the titles and so on. in the meantime i have an allergy against everything adobe except XD.
resolve is becoming the real solution for the longer duration projects. also for higher resolution footages / Raw footages. since the proxy workflow is no more with resolve . it makes it really easy to work directly on the Hi Res. and no need to re connect or replace the proxy stuff . ive just finished a feature length grading . the editor and i shared the project .. it has gone really smooth . no hassle at all. HAPPY CUSTOMER :)
I was watching until the part where they tried Davinci Resolve, I was looking for the parts where they were going to tell the reason that pertains to the program issues. I didn't find it. I guess this is just a rant. Anyway, yeah, DR is a really powerfull tool. Even the free version is amazing. Unfortunately, it's not utilizing my GPU during playback or during render so not gonna be switching soon.
Even better if you're studio already owns some high end Blackmagic cameras that came with a dongle key for version 12 haha. It works for Studio 16 so score!!
@@ereceeme that's what everyone is saying I was trying to find 1 think and couldn't find it. Also resolve name it keyboard shortcut so different that it's difficult to know what what is since there is no one making a video for pro users for keyboard shortcut everyone is doing basic stuff
@@OclooBattles You go to the menus and click Davinci resolve than in the drop down menu you will see "keyboard customization" when the window opens at the top right there is another drop menu and there you select the nle style you want.
Thanks guys for my smile. I think about the same, but I've already graded in Davinci for some years, so it will be easier for me to start edit in Davinci too. But you're moving in the right direction :)
I work as a one man band video maker in London making short films for corporates, charities etc. Yesterday I finished my first job on Davinci Resolve after years of Prem Pro. I will not be going back. Fantastic software. The learning curve was not as steep as I had anticipated, and in many ways it is more intuitive than PP. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Nothing against some of the bigger editing programs out now.First off hat's off to Divinci for offering a onetime paid membership fee that's how it should be.And if Divinci doesn't work for you and you crew there is a program called Lightworks that I think is still active. BUT HERE IS WHAT I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD DO !!!!!! Maybe it's time for you to pull in some of the resources out of all the years you have spent in your line of work and to get a start up campaign together and make your own version of a software that can actually work with what editors and people are getting tired of. Get some people on board and get some high end software developers and offer something that's somewhat super complex being able to handle anything from 8mm Vhs/Mini Dv/Digital all the way up to 8k raw. What would set it apart from everything else is coming up with a interface that is extremely user friendly so you can do can do things in three to four moves and not haft to do fifteen moves to be able get one move done. It would be nice to have it all under one software program for the Video,Audio, effects and overlays on and on. I' don't know nothing really but it seems for everything to work as it should it sure sounds like it's gonna haft to be two software programs linked to two computers so the software can perform at a PROFESSIONAL HIGH LEVEL like it should while scrubbing,editing and adding effects/transitions and overlays and audio etc. When the timeline has to render or you just haft to render a project overall then it will activate directly to the second computer that is made for fast rendering times or to aid in clean timeline/playback to scrub on so its not getting constantly bogged down and hurry up and wait and wait and wait and wait~~~~~ But what do I know.......
Premiere Pro did not exist in the late 90s, it was just Adobe Premiere (I used versions 5 and 6 back then and they crashed all the time). Avid was much more commonly used on the pro/corporate end, while Premiere was just the basic home editing software that some freelancers used if they didn't have the money for Avid. Vegas also came out around that time and was semi popular. FCP is when home editing finally became professional quality. Just clearing that up.
I never used Adobe for video editing, but I was using PowerDirector and after that went to Davinci Resolve 16 and I LOVE it. I do some basic editing and animations but still I love it :D. This video was suggested by RUclips and you two are interesting pipl. Subbed. Have a nice day everyone :D
Did you use the Studie version or free version here, because you have some options that I don't have on my Windows 10 machine. For instance, the shift between native and hardware encoder. One clear criticism of the free version, in my opinion, is the clear difference in options in DaVinci, depending on what OS you are using it on. Right now I am using a older MacBook Air and on the free version I can choose between h.264 and h.265, I can choose to use hardware when possible, I can select entropy mode, I can do multiple passes and I can go to 320 kbps AAC sound. In my Windows version I can only select h.264 (h.265 is not an option), I can only select the codec profile. I cannot select to use hardware when possible and no multiple passes. Audio is also limited to 192 kbps AAC. That is a clear problem for me, that Resolve is not consistent abroad all platforms, but highly OS dependent.
Editing requires a special machine that is customized to run only editing and audio mixing/creating software. If you're not going through and disabling telemetrics in group policy, disabling all unneeded services, uninstalling everything you don't need, checking your startup programs, and having updates only run once a week at specified times, you're not doing it right. In addition, you need to max the ram, use nvme pci drives and make sure all your cache and swap files are going there, and use the latest and greatest nvidia GT card. Once you have that, then you compare products to see what works best for your workflow as a group. It may not be the same things you're thinking about now, once you have a functional system. Also, in Premiere, "render in to out" is pretty useful to preview clips if things are lagging. If you have a fast enough system, it shouldn't take too long. Also note that you can export projects from one editor and import into another.
Thank you for your comment! our PC is actually designed for video editing and should have no problems processing the material. For smaller projects Premiere also runs quite well, but as soon as it gets more complex we have some problems, which we will address in a second video! So far Resolve (especially for more complex projects) works very well!
I do agree with you in a sense that newer versions always seem to be be unstable and riddled with Bugs. I usually work one version back, I've often thought of making the switch, I've tried a few times, but since a lot of my work involves motion graphics I have found it near impossible to jump ship, especially when my work flow involves using illustrator, photoshop, after effects and premiere almost every day.
You know you failed as a software company when the user *has* to start swearing in German XD Shame on you, Adobe! That said, Resolve is just second to none, especially once you get how to work the Cut panel properly.
The only downside is that fusion is no replacement for after effects. After 4 months though I couldn't agree more: there are virtually 0 reasons to use/miss Premiere.
Give Davinci a week or so - it's incredibly easy to learn. Little tip here - once you import your clips, select them all, right click and choose 'Create Optimized Media". The level of optimization can be chosen by clicking on 'Project Settings' and then on "Master Settings". Scroll down and you'll find the settings for Optimized Media and Render Cache". This gives super smooth playback even on an underpowered laptop. Good luck and to hell with Adobe!
@Colin - is Davinci Resolve really that easy to learn and use? :) I would use for basic editing, some transitions like “cross-solve”’ dip and soke ehip and pan effects in the beginning, but at first Davinci looks pretty complex and scary to me. Do you use it on PC or iMac? Which config do you have (cpu/gpu) many thanks 😊
I can't say it's easy to learn. I tried it, but the simplest edits have taken me hours. I could never put too much time into it, because I'm spoiled with final cut speeds and the workflow. Honestly I'm still interested, but I would need a Davinci Editor by my side during edits to help me to make the switch.
Can come firm, using it for a few weeks now, took me a week or two to get used to it! Love it so far
@@marcelpetzold would you share with me your configuration, please? PC or iMac? which cpu, which gpu do you have? it works smoothly, right? Herzlichen Dank 😊
@@marcelpetzold I guess I smell a tutorial coming up 🤷🏻♂️
going back to Window Movie Maker
The times are not that bad :D
Right wtf 😂
Send me link to the Cracked version
Pinnacle Studio is where it’s at
It's the best! Do they still have it!?
Charging me a monthly fee to work on my footage...when it doesn't even work...
..is unacceptable.
Yeah, basically Adobe went for "pay us to work for us" kind of business model. That's what I came to feel after I had to put hideous amount of hours in debugging.
What exactly doesn't work? I use it all the time.
@@robbrown3543 So you didn't watch the video?
@@mattparker267 Well I watched the beginning which was overly dramatic and obviously staged. But then had to get back to editing in Premiere which went fine. Do you normally answer questions with questions?
@@robbrown3543 I've come to learn that not all machines are configured the same. And this can cause huge problems for some. I'm not talking about quality of equipment, but configuration. Back in Jan '15, Adobe did a major upgrade (if memory serves it was 15.1 or 2). It wrecked performance on some machines. Example: grab and drag the play head and maybe 30 seconds later the play head would actually move, with the lag times increasing to minutes and worse. On the forums I saw testimonials from people with Mac's, PC's, new, old, plain and pimped out. It's almost like when medicines help most people, but some have allergic reactions.
Many Windows 10 users are experiencing similar problems with 'updates'. It's just that different configs react in different ways.
Both Adobe and MS know this. MS used to have a dedicated shop to test diff configs for these adverse reactions, but they shut it down. I don't know about Adobe, but I suspect the same.
And, I repeat. THEY KNOW ABOUT IT. On my machine, for instance, the blue frame handles randomly disappear. I've complained repeatedly with no response, and eventually found one or two 'work arounds' that sometimes do the trick. But, why should I have to find workarounds? We pay for this stuff. It should work as defined. Then they have the nerve to ask, how can we improve?
4 minutes in, still no clue what isn't working.
Yep. WHAT exactly are the problems? I heard people in other videos list some. But in this one I have absolutely no clue whyt the complaints are. What a waste of time.
yeah lol
yeah you know it huh, remove my comment and post this one
Thanks for your criticism! In fact, in this video we didn't mention exactly what the problems with Premiere are. But we will record a second video, where we get deeper into these topics! :)
@@christophmagnussen I think you did mentioned the main problem at around 2:00 .. the issue what I understood (as a newbie and I can relate) is the technical & performance issues. Premiere is not fast and technically smooth as it should be in 2019. It was a blessing upto 2015ish though..
Premier Pro went to hell when it went offshore and required a monthly subscription, Adobe's management killed a great product with cooperate greed and incompetence.
All good things come to an end unfortunately, we will see what Adobe will do in the future :)
I doubt Adobe will change for the better, they are where management intended the company to be. The love affair is over... move on.
Yeah fuck them
i had to use pp at work 2000 to 2005 crashes every 15minutes - I would take work home and edit using FCP studio get shows done Quick and Fun - FCPX is Basic FUK apple
The thing is that Premiere uses old code, and it's very CPU driven. Final Cut and Davinci are newer internally. That is why apple killed Final Cut 7. FCPX and Davinci kill Premiere in performance and stability. Plus you only pay once. No brainer.
Once you have become one with the node. Magic things happen.
hail node masterace
@@stopandplay8629 😅
Switched to Davinci Resolve Studio few years ago. Performance is night and day compared to Premiere. Renders are magnitudes faster. Colour tools are second to none. I can edit 4k without proxies. Scrubbing is buttery smooth. Powerful audio tools. Only negatives, I prefer After Effects to Fusion. Titles are slow. Interface lacks the same amount of customisation as Premiere. Overall though, Resolve is THE software to own if you are a video pro.
Agreed :)
Ya I miss AE for layer based mograph, especially if paired with PS or alternative. & all those plugins invested in AE. Resolve is connected at the hip to GPU... To be fair Fusion is an amazing compositing app but nodal based is totally different mindset(difficult transition)
Can I ask you what your PC specs are, please? My experience with DaVinci has been terrible so far.
Also: I see the guys in the videos work with 24 fps. What do you usually work with?
Because it seems that DaVinci becomes a nightmare with 4K at 60 fps (what I work with).
Yeah, node base is light years faster when creating Hollywood tier 3D FX's but for basic motion graphics etc. it's just too much. Setting up the nodes needed takes just as much time as making the whole process with layers, but then again, Nodes kick in when you need to be able to work with dozen different effects in one shot. Sometimes when I edit a project that has huge amount of effects and motion graphics etc. I think to myself "why I never learned the node based workflow any better". To me layer vs node is same as managing a project. After Effects is like putting all the clips in same folder and working the project fast that way and Fusion is like creating perfectly organized tree of footage and assets and keeping it clean the whole way to finnish line. It takes time, but if you have to double check stuff or change something on the fly, you find it instantly. AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO PRECOMP ANYTHING FFS LOL
@@eliteextremophile8895 I don't necessarily agree. Pre-Comping is a great way to create structure inside a project when used well, and has very few downsides imo.
If there's two adobe "softwares" that were really done right imo it's Photoshop and After Effects. (Haven't worked with Animate/XD/Dreamweaver though)
I switched to Davinci Resolve, and have never looked back. So many things to like. One of them is how fast they are developing the software. Every year you get a huge new upgrade - and it's free if you bought the Studio license in the past. Then their color tools are so far ahead of Premiere Pro or Final Cut, and to me being able to get my footage looking EXACTLY how I want it, with tools that I now consider to be better than those in Lightroom, is worth its weight in gold. I also love Fusion and Fairlight.
BTW - the reason why the tracker didn't track your head very well is simple, you included too many areas that were outside of your head. To do it best, make the circle track points inside the outline of your head, and after the tracker has finished, then increase the size of the circle (Power Window) to include any other areas you want adjusted.
Time to pin this...
Yeah, and it’s the industry standard for color grading.
I installed and uninstalled resolve like 5 times until i managed to accept it and learned it 😂 but we are in love now.
Some people fall love immediately, sometimes it takes a few dates to get to that "wow, I really like you" moment. 😁
@@TheDawnofVanlife 🤣
I was just trying to get into Resolve again today. I'm so fed up with premiere. It seems to get worse with every update.
Swearing at premiere is part of life these days
I stopped swearing at Premiere almost a year ago. Resolve is leagues better. Premiere is just too buggy and inefficient.
I think it’s more like swearing at Adobe
indeed true
I'm literally uninstalling my whole adobe suite right now. I'm tired of this
Lmao
What did it for you
We switched to Resolve earlier this year, never going back. Everything works so much better.
It just blows my mind how something like LumaFusion running on an iPad Pro is out-performing my current high end laptop running Premiere Pro. Even something simple like just playing a 5.7k clip. LumaFusion just plays works and exports are super fast.
Luma Fusion is crazy good for an iPad app. Like I wish I had something like this when I was doing super simple personal projects in college.
Hey, just chiming in on the video to let you know that you're making the right choice :D.
I've worked with Resolve professionally for years now and feel pretty confident with the software. It has its quirks and bugs, still, but the hardware optimization and color grading power make it overwhelmingly good.
As you were wondering about the different pages/tabs, let me give you a rundown:
1. Media page: I never use it, since you can drag and drop files on the Edit page, create virtual folders and just keep your stuff organized that way. Maybe if your projects get incredibly large the Media page proves itself useful.
2. Cut page: This is a very new feature to Resolve and to be honest, quite unfinished. Despite its "freshness" to put it kindly, the Cut page offers two really cool features. The first one is a film strip view of all your source footage. So every source clip you have for the footage is displayed as one video and you can scroll through, insert in/out points and insert clips to your timeline without having to select individual source files and waste time. The second cool feature is in Resolve 16.3 Beta, and that is footage synchronization based on audio/timecode/whatever, without having to create multicam clips for it. The Cut page has a separate button, layout and automization for footage synchronization and this will make it super easy to get your footage in sync.
3. Edit page: Has everything you'll need to create a video, file management, powerful cutting tools and some quick audio mastering and editing. As a highlight I'd mention the trim tool, that covers pretty much 4 tools in Premiere very intuitively. As a negative, the Title tools are way worse than in Premiere (why I still use After Effects, see below).
4. Fusion page: Fusion is much worse than After Effects in Motion graphics. You CAN create motion graphics but when you get into it, it's immediately apparent that it wasn't built for that. Fusion is, however, much better than AE in 3D compositing and tracking. The Fusion tracking tools demand a lot from the user, but also give a lot in return. I still use AE for every video edit I've created in Resolve, 100% because of the motion graphics work I do.
5. Color page: Too much to talk about. Industry standard. Better than anything else. Incredible, love it, no negatives, honestly.
6. Fairlight: Very powerful audio editing tool. I'm not the most experienced audio tech, but I know my way around equalizers, compressors and noise reduction. The good thing is that it's built into Resolve, the bad (at least as far as I've understood) is that it's missing some cool Audition tools like automatic click remover. So whenever my LAV microphones are hastily put on the talent and the audio has some weird scratches and clicks on it, I need to take it through Audition before Resolve.
7. Deliver page: Pretty straight forward. I love the hardware optimized render times. Fuck off Adobe with your "multiple cores??????????".
All in all, I dislike Premiere, love Resolve and After Effects and keep Audition as a backup.
My full workflow is: Resolve for everything else -> Render out a DNxHR / ProRes master (or several depending on layer complexity) -> After Effects for compositing, Motion Graphics -> Media Encoder for final delivery.
Cheers!
KShow When you learn how Fusion works and different tools that offers is so much faster for creating and using, re-using motion graphics then AE that is beyond imagination.
@@NakovGoce I understand what you mean. But creating pixel perfect smooth animations with grid control, snapping, color libraries and vector graphics support (non existent in resolve) is still essential to a graphic design artist.
Resolve Fusion doesn't even have real time audio playback (or any audio playback at all) for syncing your animations to music/dialogue. That's straight up a show stopper right there.
Sure it would be nice to work natively and use some cool 3D particle effects and stuff, but they're just a small "nice to have" in the very demanding big picture.
@@KaarloMedia Vector graphics are supported thru SVG files. I didn't find Audio support a problem because switching edit/fusion tab is so easy and fast so I am syncing audio without a problem thru edit tab. It is a different approach but as I said, once you embrace it, is so much faster then AE/PP back and forth, not to mention that Adobe Dynamic Link can be so buggy sometimes.
The only tool I am really missing is puppet tool :(.
Agree on grid snapping.
@@NakovGoce Yeah having worked with dynamic link for years, I can attest to the buggyness. It's a lovely feeling when a large project for a client suddenly stops working (won't open) after a few years of working just fine. This happened more than I dare to count.
For now this Resolve -> Render -> AE works for me and I'll make the full switch when the time comes. Not anytime soon, though.
Awesome, thank you so much!
"I'm so angry I said it in German." Oddly this happens in our house too...but we're native english speakers who learned German as a second language.

I cut the cord to Adobe a year ago. I use Davinci Resolve for video editing. Affinity Photo and Affinity Design. I haven't looked back towards Adobe at any point. Luminar 4 looks like a good Lightroom replacement. Viva the revolution !!!!!!
Viva
:D
When I see such videos I always wonder why I don't run into any of these major issues with Premiere.
That said, I love what Blackmagic does with Davinci because a monopoly is bad for the users. In every industry we need competition to drive innovation. Just look at the CPU space and what AMD is doing there with intel! :D
Right, I have been using Premiere for 4 years now no issues. I would use resolve but their multi-screen options suck. I love using 4 monitors to edit in Premiere and I can customize the layout however I want.
Perhaps you're not pushing Premiere hard enough.
People's problems with premiere aren't the program, it's their lack of knowledge/skill and poor hardware. You gotta spend to work with 5k and 8k with any software.
@@EDDSkitz Agree. And knowing how to customize the machine so that it's running optimally.
@@EDDSkitz Well, it's not only the hardware that is the problem. My sister is not dumb with computers at all and customised her own machine, (quite a beast I can add). As far as I know she NEVER shoots (and thus edits) anything beyond Full HD AVCHD at something like 27 Mbit or so.
But the complaints I hear from her are countless. There are so many things that keep getting reset or changed with an update that I find it ridiculuous for such a (relatively) expensive piece of software.
I only do stuff as a hobby and I'm glad I went for a rather consumer-grade program (Vegas Movie Studio). I just like the fact I don't have to pay for it monthly but just pay for it once and use it for as long as I like/the computer/OS supports it.
Yes, Vegas Movie Studio does not offer the extensive support for 'strange' (read: non-consumer) files, but it's definitely a powerful program.
As someone working in an agency, a proxy workflow really isn't a big deal, in fact it usually takes less than a couple hours from start to finish and there's always other work that can be done whilst it's happening in the background on another computer. We shoot on the Arri Alexa Mini at 3.2K, any resolution higher is arguably unnecessary for most uses.
What will often happen is we'll use Davinci to create proxies and import all of our footage into premiere with the proxies linked. When there, we'll edit the whole video start to finish benefiting from all of adobes effects, effect controls and after effects dynamic linking (Which is honestly too big to give up) Davinici doesn't compare in flexibility. Once finished we can swap back proxies and export an XML to davinci to grade if necessary : most of the time it's not. There's no need at all to shit on one software for not wearing all of the hats, that's not how it works in the industry. Both softwares have their strengths and weakness'. Nobody serious in the industry solely use one software. Learn both. Use both but I wouldn't recommend just straight up jumping ship. If you look to the CG industry you'll see what I mean, it takes a minimum of 3 softwares and often more like 6, just to get a single finished shot.
is there any tutorial you know of for using these methods
yeah.an accurate tutorial about this would be great
@@Plaayaa69 Just search " how to import a premiere pro timeline into davinci resolve" and you'll get something. It's only a couple of clicks to export an XML and import it into davinci. Only down side is that you'll need to Bake any AE linked comps and import them with the XML, We would always use a Prores 422 HQ, Or A ProRes 4444. For making proxies in davinci, just search it on youtube and you'll get it, as for importing into premiere. Just import your original footage, then select all of your footage in the project window and right click and select "Link Proxies', Once you link one, they should all autolink, from there you can toggle your Proxies on and off with the 'toggle proxies' button in premiere.
u are incredible thank you so much
You made the right choice lads. Little advice: use the resolve native keyboard layout. Resolve wants to be used in its own way. Learn the new shortcuts and you'll never have an issue.
Ouch! Having never used Adobe Premiere, you all have my sympathy. I keep reading, or seeing how awful it is. I gave up using Adobe tools when they went to subscription. I am really glad that I did.
Davinci has a lot of things like Final Cut Pro, from the videos I have watched. Those boxes you were dragging around, that are joined by lines are like modelling/ workflow tools. I have used systems like that in “business”, but not in video editing.
I hope that you become productive and effective quickly. I look forward to following your learning and managing change.
Good luck.
Thank you :)
I started with Photoshop 5.0 back in the day. Paid over $600 for a perpetual license. Bought the upgrades as they came out. Bought several other apps. Probably spent close to $4,000 over the years. Then Adobe got greedy and my "perpetual" licenses were for all intents and purposes, worthless. Adobe slammed the door in my face. I still use Lightroom but I think I've found a replacement. Adobe can rot in Hell.
When I started diving into video editing, I used Lightworks free version and eventually upgraded to their full version. Messed around with Fusion for graphics stuff before I got a job editing real estate video tours and had to learn Adobe Premiere and After Effects -- I liked the integration and abandoned Lightworks and other free models. I lost my video editing job and could only afford to pay for the single premiere app but seeing that more and more prominent figures are willing to take a look at Fusion makes me want to take my money away from adobe's exploitative pricing model.
I use FCPX running on an iMac Pro, super smooth playback no matter the codec I throw on the timeline, crazy fast workflow and render times, it’s a very powerful and optimized editing tool, its a no brainer for anyone working on Macs. I use Apple’s Motion for additional effects.
I only use Adobe softwares for photography, video isn’t an option as it’s really far behind the competition.
Ich bin Mediendesigner für Audiovision und arbeite seit 2 Jahren in meiner Stelle täglich mit Davinci Resolve und kenne alle Facetten des Programms, und ich muss sagen ich fühle hier total mit euch. Habe ebenso zuvor mit FinalCut, Premiere und sogar Ende der 90er mal an einer analogen Konsole gearbeitet. Es geht einfach nix über dessen Geschwindigkeit, Präzision, Colour Managment, FX und gar im Audio Bereich brauch ich selten dazu noch ne aktuelle DAW. Multiangle-Funktioner sind großartig ...und der Punkt ist: wir wissen Zeit ist Geld - Diese Programm ist einfach wirtschaftlich und eine Freude in der Anwendung. Beste Grüße aus Dortmund, Chris
I come from Premiere and Final Cut and moved to Davinci Resolve. And I will never go back. This app is crazy. You need to give it some time. It is the same as if you came from DaVinci and moves to Premiere. Stuff is different in all apps. Davinci is just everything is one box. Even with Fusion and Lightwave.....
I hope Adobe sees this. I'm sick of Premiere crashing whenever I try to render. I'm tired of all the weird legacy tools that don't make sense. The UI is awful and learning it is frustrating because nothing is intuitive...
I used Resolve for while and then switched back to Premiere because I completely missed the Premiere/After effects/C4D workflow and found Fusion just a pain in comparison ( it's like learning the whole craft again from scratch without any of your go to AE plugins. )
There's a lot of things I don't like about Resolve too, as someone making motion graphics to music there's nothing like beatmatch for Resolve which kills my workflow and the you can't group audio plugins into folders. The keyframe section in colour mode does not scroll in real time ( that seriously needs a fix. ) Also just give me the standard save, save as and duplicate for projects too, I hate all that propriety save crap, just let me do my own project management.
I completely missed the ability to just select a section and render it out too. I'm also not convinced about the auto render either, especially when you get into the fusion side where everything just really bogs down compare to AE.
I'm on OSX though and, to be honest, I found Resolve crashed a lot more on my machine than Premiere ( 2018 MBP. )
On the plus side Davinci will let me use my Vega 64 Razer Core X eGPU though and color grading is superb no doubt, but I just missed the C4D/AE/Premiere workflow too much to switch.
I can understand your position, always go with the solution that works best for you :)
Bill Borez so good to read your experiences and so glad that you shared your thoughts ☺️ I have just ordered a 2019 27" 5K iMac with top hardware and I am looking forward sooo much to jump into Premiere, because for me it fits and looks so great and the complete timeline/tools is so friendly and easy-to-use for me
Fusion is so much faster once you learn it
I made the switch recently from Premiere Pro to Davinci Resolve Studio 16 and haven’t looked back. After watching just a few tutorials about using the timeline, and node based colour tools, that was enough to get started. I now look forward to opening up Davinci each day. Rendering is super fast - even for 4K - and no need for proxies either.
Good luck with the change !
was wondering whether to buy premiere pro or stick with davinci. Thanks for making it simple!
YEEEEEEESSSS! This NEEDED to be said - thank you! I have contacted Adobe a dozen times about these exact same issues, and I have seen NO results! Every update makes the software WORSE! Thanks for making this video.
I'm glad you guys have taken the Red Pill =) Welcome to Resolve!
Thanks :D
I'm extremely new to using video editing tools/software of any kind (Exactly one week) and downloaded a whole bunch of things to try, Lightworks, Adobe, Davinci etc. Within 20 minutes of poking about, dragging and dropping and messing around with edits I'd made my first video using Davinci. I use Cakewalk Sonar Platinum for all my audio work at the studio and I found Davinci to be quite similar in functionality and ease of use. Very impressed and relieved I don't have to endure an enormous learning curve (I'm sure there's LOADS of stuff I'm not aware of) but to get me up and running and saving a whole heap of time and money, I'd recommend Davinci in a heartbeat. Great job and great video too guys.
Thanks for the thoughts and experience sharing
I'm not a professional but glad that I have been using DaVinci Resolve from the beginning, it's a pain to see that your pc hanged when you're editing with Premiere Pro. I use the free version btw I opt for this because I'm cheap XD
I've been getting on really well with Resolve, its pretty easy to learn and tutorials have helped a tonne. Only issue is my computer sucks and it's slow, but thankfully there are things you can do to optimise that. Overall it a great piece of free software, probably the best free video editor out there.
I left adobe, when they switched to the cloud model...did.never regret it
I switched to Davinci Resolve around a year ago and immediately noticed a massive improvement in responsiveness and playback, especially when using optimised media (proxies). I recently did a test, comparing an equivalent 4K timeline with one in Premiere. Resolve was able to optimise the footage in less than 24 minutes but Premiere took nearly 90 minutes to convert the same clips. Resolve was able to render out the project in 11 minutes but Premiere took nearly 40 minutes, for exactly the same footage. The difference in performance is simply incredible.
I'm PRO Da Vinci but for the rendering I think that can depend on the computer allot due to that Premiere uses CPU more and Da Vinci uses GPU. So if you use Premiere a good CPU is better and for Da Vinci a good GPU is better =) But other than spending years in Premiere knowing the in and outs, Da Vinci is taking over more and more. Hope it becomes a more standard program for in house content/production companies =)
You can't do it anymore because of WHAT reason(s)? What's the PROBLEM?
THAT would have been valuable information.
From what I understood, Adobe is too slow, will freeze, give you white screens etc. The render time is long too and will lag and or crash during edits. Editing isn't smooth even with a beast of a computer. Now I think that Davinci actually use Machine learning for some of its features to actually do some tasks quicker and or help categorize things. Like mentioned on their website; Davinci can automatically categorize clips depending on the actors in that clip using facial recognition etc.
Getting back to editing. Used Premiere Pro in 05, stint in Vegas in 06, stint in 2010 with Final Cut, but Premiere as and when till 2014. Glad I decided to try DaVinci instead of throwing sunk cost to Adobe! This video made me feel better about me trying to learn Resolve!
I switched three days ago and it’s Amazing. I’ve been addicted to Adobe products for over a decade. Finally, rehab!
This is my experience too. Last week I spent a whole morning trying to figure out why my timeline UI simply wasn't updating in PR. I finally got it to work by undocking and closing my audio levels panel. So now I have to edit video without seeing my audio levels if I want to get anything done. I'm running a $10k workstation, with hardware recommended for this. There's zero excuse for this. When I do contact support I don't actually get help, I become a QA tester tasked with trying every edge case for them. "Try only using one monitor" "Try removing one of the GPUs" ect... It would be one thing if this was a one off, but I've had this same or similar experience on every system (Mac or PC) that I've run in the last 5 years. I really feel like I'm paying every month for the software to get worse.
and this is why we are doing 90% of our editing work in davinci resolve
If you render with Media Encoder instead of inside Premiere you can be working on another project while it renders. Does not lock down Premiere that way.
Made the switch, learning and love it.
Believe it or not but when I got premiere Pro and after effects. I didn't know how to use them. So no surprise you have to either read the manual or watch some of the now many tutorials. A year later I love davinci and will never be paying Adobe again. ..
Didn't take a year for us ;)
the best part about davinci resolve that we have found is running a project server, we can have our editors, colourists and sound post working on the same project at the same time in real time....
We did that as well just recently with an PostgreSQL server! Works great!
I supervise a team who worked with Premiere Team Projects to edit TV shows. The tools are great and the program was incredible in the beginning but now these new versions shouldn't even be called alpha builds. It crashes all the time, I spend more time googling tech problems for the less techy employees than coloring and audio mixing, and there are just too many work arounds for simple things. I moved my independent business to Resolve when 15 was announced to have a usable and powerful timeline. I have 8 years of experience coloring in Resolve but the timeline was not good enough for cutting anything for me until version 15. Now version 16 is out and we are close to making the jump here. We've tested it with the free version on non-team project jobs and it's proven to handle RED, DNG, and pretty much anything else without a sweat.
I love Davinci. I especially loved the moment when i went to audio editing and was like wow there are ALL my vsts. And its so easy to use.
I love how davinci resolve has simplified video editing with all amazing features to customize effects in a single software. It's scary at first but once we learnt tutorials, it's super easy, making work flow super fast than we can ever imagine.
Glad you managed to get on with it :)
I switched to Resolve last month. Adobe has killed their software with the latest updates. I had an hour video for a client and Adobe was going to take 71 hours to render! Contacted support and they blamed my computer and hardware. I preceded to tell them if that’s true... then why a separate video in Resolve that’s 48 minutes long took only 25 minutes to render and export at 4K with 2 luts applied and color correction and reframing!! There was silence and then I was hung up on by Adobe support.
Bruh. I have the opposite. My Render time on Davinci was for a 3 Minute Video 30 Minutes of render time, This makes me really sad cause before some months it only was about 3 mins
@@robo9798 Did you update Resolve? Davinci had some issues before because of an update Windows did. I experienced that. But Black Magic released an update not too long after that fixed the issue. This is what has happened with Adobe and they refuse to admit it is a software problem. Even After Effects is having the same problem as Premiere. I made a 20 second clip in After Effects and it took 21 minutes to render!!
@@jarrodames139 No I didn't the reason was with the newer update there was a bug or it could be just a change that was a really big Problem for me so i downgraded but now my audio track After some time working with 60 FPS Starts to moving where my Cursor is just a little but this is really bad so i will i Think Upgrade tomorrow
You guys are like wizards! I'm new to RUclips and video editing and I'm using Davinci Resolve. There is so much to learn.

Yep. Can confirm.
We all know it!
If you have the free version your render times will be slower because they limit you to 1 GPU. Your effects are also limited. The paid version allows for multiple GPUs for even faster rendering times.
This is much like my first impression. The UI is nothing like any other software. It’s a huge roadblock for people who are considering the jump.
there is a setting that makes it similar to premiere workflow . im not sure where it is but ive seen it done
It’s been 7 months since the video. Have you guys switch do Resolve? I am currently testing it for my small business in South Africa. Being able to use a free program that is “better” is obviously very enticing to me.
Used Premiere for strong 3 years. When it works, it's marvellous. However it's becoming buggy as hell with every new version. I already advised them to stop launching a news version every year - this is not feasible. The Creative Cloud is becoming a Cloud of Bugs. I had to give up Premiere. I'm a happy Final Cut Pro user now. It's simpler, but it does most of the job, and with some nice Plug-Ins (motionVFX), it gets to the pro level easily, with nothing missing from the Adobe family. Faster, more reliable, never more I had to go to sleep waiting for a render, just to discover that the render stopped in the middle of the night for some random problem. It made my life miserable for months, when I finally decided to migrate to FCPX, I had to pay good amount of cash for the software and plug-ins, but now, if I have to stay awake in the night, it's because I'm editing, producing, and not babysitting piece of software........ Da Vinci Resolve? I would go for it, but my other production folks were already on FCPX, so I decided to keep that way.
Just use what works for you, that's the best way :)
I have been professionally working as an editor since the past 7 years... have worked on a couple of web series, docu series as well as a lot of ad films that play around on tv yt and theatres.... The things that you are looking at such as timeline playback or export time is sort of secondary when it comes to editing... Yes davinci resolve 16.1 is very promising no doubt but it is still far from being a complete edit software for full time professional editing.... The number of export options that premiere has such as the mxf_opa1... dnxhd... avc intra for broadcast... also opening multiple projects there is a huge list...
resolve is a very good grading (used by top colorists in hollywood) and sound mixing software right now.... Generally the process followed is that the editor makes the cut... gives an xml or edl for grade... omf or aaf for sound and there are technicians who work on it seperately according to their own software preferences...
resolve as an editor is good for individual content creators who shoot edit color grade and sound mix and do everything by themselves....
I have nothing against your video and i hope i haven't offended you in any way... but when you will be working on complex edits is the time when you will realize why premiere avid and fcp 7 (yes fcp 7 used by some old school editor) are still preferred as a complete NLE softwares...
Don't worry, I'm not easily offended and your viewpoint is perfectly valid :)
@@christophmagnussen Sweet :)
Looking forward to your deep dive review of DaVinci Resolve, getting tired of PP.
Stay tuned!
I'm switching to DR I'm done with Pr. It's so buggy after the recent updates.
Team Final Cut Pro X
If we wouldn't need to switch all our PCs to MAC, that would be a good alternative :)
Make Hackintosh computers. Best of both worlds.
you guys did the same thing i did when i first got DaVinci Resolve Studio, rejected the cut tab immediately. i embraced it after about a week and god i love it
Hahaha we'll make sure to look into it!
By the way, we find that the Studio version is much faster than the free version.
Yes, the Studio Version uses the GPU Acceleration. The free version does not do that.
@@MUENTERMEDIA what hardware you use and what resolution you working at?
Both the studio and the free veraion uses the gpu. The studio version uses ai and other shtiks to be feaster.
@@rapidshai310 Sure but only the studio version includes GPU-accelerated H.264 encoding and decoding. Free version does not.
@@rapidshai310 True. I use free version and it uses GPU CUDA on RTX 2080ti and is fast as I need right now. Will probably upgrade to Studio next year.
My PC does not have an external video card.
I shoot ML raw videos with my Canon camera.I was first converting it with after effect and then editing it with premiere. It was 20 minutes for 1 minute video to render by making Noise Reduction in After Effect.And it comes to the CPU 80c temperatures.Then I decided to try DaVinci.
At first the program seemed too complicated to me
.But I realized that all the adobe programs are in one place and very easy to use software
and getting rendered by Noise Reduction is very fast. My processor Ryzen 3 3200G with internal 2 Gb Radeon 8 vega graphics card
.There is 24Gb Ram in my system.Adobe using 20GB of Rams but Davinci just using 8GB of Rams when rendering. The CPU almost never exceeds 20%. and the GPU goes up to 66c.Although I love Adobe so much, now I only use Davinci. I'm not even talking about monetary issues. Now I plan to buy myself a BlackMagic Cinema 4K camera...
Wow...... I have no issues at all with Adobe on my MAC, in last 5 years..... trying to understand but not sure what are you talking about guys.....
And I'm a Premiere user who is gonna switch to Davinci too soon, to try.
But no point making a video where you don't explain the issue and when you mention confusing concepts.... "movies" you mean like feature movies??? Netflix stuff??? filmmaking as? making films? for cinemas? or you mean you guys do vLogging? youtube videos???? asking all this because the issues you may find in one kind of project and work flow is different to another.... so seriously what are you talking about guys? full respect i'm just really confuse.....
Really? But Premiere is optimized for NVIDIA GPU's and Mac's use AMD GPU's, the performance difference was huge last time I tried it. What Mac do you own?
@@D-One MacBook Pro from 2016 till today, and before another MacBookPro
I totally got where they were coming from with the bugs. 2019 has been an absolute disaster for me and my latest short doc. I can no longer export from the timeline and when I export to AME instead, weird things happen like clips are in b&w, audio plays from 30secs earlier in the film, text clips from Essential graphics render as offline clips, etc. It took me 3 straight days, no sleeping, to come up with a workflow where I prerendered 30sec bits of the film (anything longer and the project would crash) then use the previews to export a ProRes HQ file. Anything else crashes. My colorist had similar nightmares w/ playback and crashes, and he has a 10core iMac Pro. Premiere seems to work ok for basic edits, but in my experience, anything complicated leads to disaster. As such, I have no idea how it would be possible to edit a feature on Premiere given the current circumstances.
I gave up Premiere Pro years ago. After trying all video editing software, I finally ended up with Edius Pro. My workflows needs a fast one. Really love how Edius can mix different resolution footages, even different frame rates in realtime without rendering! What I love the most is the rendering speed, nothing can beat it. Any other editing software relies on GPU as well, but Edius is completely processor-based software, so you can have less on investing the hardware too. You can try this one as an alternative for video editing. Wish you all the best.
When searching a bit in the settings you can directly set premiere's shortcut if you want
Or even final cut's one ( and maybe other )
Such a good software! I've been using 15 for over a year now and I'm gonna switch to 16 shortly after my next paycheck. I tried Premiere, but the last straw was when it took me an hour and a half to export a three minute video with nothing but an audio spectrum, two still images, and a blur. Meanwhile the same video in Davinci along with camera shake and a png for cinema bars took less than 10 minutes!
My complain i wrote to adobe : i got no idea why am i paying for the software that doesn't work. The pirated version 3 years ago is just better then the 2019 one and i am using the pirated version instead of 2019 one. (while im paying for the adobe cc)
It's a bit sad when pirating becomes easier/better than buying new stuff again
@@christophmagnussen i completly agree. Im still paying for it, just refuse to use 2019 version.. Other apps are alright in the CC.
most of subscriptions based companies (aka mostly american ones) which switch to this model few years ago, stop trying, because they don't need to and they're just ripping costumers off by their ex glory. sadly, even microsoft follow this path.
but thank god there's some others which don't follow that and only because of them, you seeing some progress in software development (but not as near as much like let say decade or more ago, when you pull out tested and highly developed product every few years, not this update bs).
Like Blender Foundation with Blender 2.80, 2.81 ...
Or SideFX Houdini
Sehr unterhaltsames Video, vor allem am Schluss mit dem Direktvergleich mit Premiere 😁
Bin auch umgestiegen und bei DaVinci Resolve seit Version 14. Wirkt am Anfang erst mal heftig und man denkt es trifft einem der Schlag. Doch nach ner kurzen Eingewöhnungszeit bin ich sehr zufrieden mit Resolve. Auch Fusion hat man nach ner Weile verstanden.
Hey, you missed AVID! Media Composser came on 1995 (we started with it).
That's how I knew I was in rookie territory but they're entertaining though.. and probably do have a significant point for rookie-nerd land!
If you want to go really far back let's talk VideoToaster on the Amiga for NLE. ;)
@@Marcs-Adventures Good point!
I made the switch 3 months ago after a decade with premiere. And I'm so happy with the change, feels like I finally have a tool I can work together with, instead of constantly argue and beg.
We feel 100% the same! :D
Vegas and after effects can make the job done no problem
Vegas is the fastest cutter, editor. The export codec suck, though. They don't want to license real professional codecs. Vegas user for 10 years, Vegas frustrated for 10 years.
@@defiverr4697 I agree with you on that one, it actually depends on the project... Some times premiere works better sometimes it doesn't work at all, vegas has a an awful codec but if your projects are simple its much faster than any other editor
@@NicholasN94 Trudat
i started being angry with adobe over premiere instability issues, then started to be fed up with little user interface things, like the subtitles, the window arrangements, the titles and so on. in the meantime i have an allergy against everything adobe except XD.
Adobe has a high expectation for the amount of pain we will take before jumping ship. It's that time..............
resolve is becoming the real solution for the longer duration projects. also for higher resolution footages / Raw footages. since the proxy workflow is no more with resolve . it makes it really easy to work directly on the Hi Res. and no need to re connect or replace the proxy stuff . ive just finished a feature length grading . the editor and i shared the project .. it has gone really smooth . no hassle at all. HAPPY CUSTOMER :)
I was watching until the part where they tried Davinci Resolve, I was looking for the parts where they were going to tell the reason that pertains to the program issues. I didn't find it. I guess this is just a rant.
Anyway, yeah, DR is a really powerfull tool. Even the free version is amazing. Unfortunately, it's not utilizing my GPU during playback or during render so not gonna be switching soon.
Even better if you're studio already owns some high end Blackmagic cameras that came with a dongle key for version 12 haha. It works for Studio 16 so score!!
I want to see someone edit in resolve without using the mouse
In davinci you can use the same premiere or fcp keyboard settingings.
@@ereceeme that's what everyone is saying I was trying to find 1 think and couldn't find it. Also resolve name it keyboard shortcut so different that it's difficult to know what what is since there is no one making a video for pro users for keyboard shortcut everyone is doing basic stuff
@@OclooBattles You go to the menus and click Davinci resolve than in the drop down menu you will see "keyboard customization" when the window opens at the top right there is another drop menu and there you select the nle style you want.
send me one of these and I will show you: www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/keyboard
@@OclooBattles They have an editing keyboard that you can purchase if you can't make standard KB work.
Thanks guys for my smile. I think about the same, but I've already graded in Davinci for some years, so it will be easier for me to start edit in Davinci too. But you're moving in the right direction :)
I‘m switching to Davinci, too. Guys, check out Blackmagic’s free tutorials on their website. They are really well made and help a lot!
I work as a one man band video maker in London making short films for corporates, charities etc. Yesterday I finished my first job on Davinci Resolve after years of Prem Pro. I will not be going back. Fantastic software. The learning curve was not as steep as I had anticipated, and in many ways it is more intuitive than PP. I can't recommend it highly enough.
Lol :-) I gave up on Premiere Pro for Final Cut Pro X benefits. I use DaVinci Resolve for color grading. That tool is just awesome :-)
Okay... This is your first film that I've watched and I'm clicking subscribe already. 😁 Nice!
this man has eyes like the ocean
Nothing against some of the bigger editing programs out now.First off hat's off to Divinci for offering a onetime paid membership fee that's how it should be.And if Divinci doesn't work for you and you crew there is a program called Lightworks that I think is still active. BUT HERE IS WHAT I THINK YOU GUYS SHOULD DO !!!!!! Maybe it's time for you to pull in some of the resources out of all the years you have spent in your line of work and to get a start up campaign together and make your own version of a software that can actually work with what editors and people are getting tired of. Get some people on board and get some high end software developers and offer something that's somewhat super complex being able to handle anything from 8mm Vhs/Mini Dv/Digital all the way up to 8k raw. What would set it apart from everything else is coming up with a interface that is extremely user friendly so you can do can do things in three to four moves and not haft to do fifteen moves to be able get one move done. It would be nice to have it all under one software program for the Video,Audio, effects and overlays on and on. I' don't know nothing really but it seems for everything to work as it should it sure sounds like it's gonna haft to be two software programs linked to two computers so the software can perform at a PROFESSIONAL HIGH LEVEL like it should while scrubbing,editing and adding effects/transitions and overlays and audio etc. When the timeline has to render or you just haft to render a project overall then it will activate directly to the second computer that is made for fast rendering times or to aid in clean timeline/playback to scrub on so its not getting constantly bogged down and hurry up and wait and wait and wait and wait~~~~~ But what do I know.......
Haha, I like your idea but I am faaar too busy for something like that, sorry :D
:-) Great Like Me 4 years ago!! but after the first hour it was clear never use anything else than Davinci Resolve!!
Premiere Pro did not exist in the late 90s, it was just Adobe Premiere (I used versions 5 and 6 back then and they crashed all the time). Avid was much more commonly used on the pro/corporate end, while Premiere was just the basic home editing software that some freelancers used if they didn't have the money for Avid. Vegas also came out around that time and was semi popular. FCP is when home editing finally became professional quality. Just clearing that up.
Davanci resolve 16 is so useful to edit mu video! Even I am not that pro at it.
I never used Adobe for video editing, but I was using PowerDirector and after that went to Davinci Resolve 16 and I LOVE it. I do some basic editing and animations but still I love it :D.
This video was suggested by RUclips and you two are interesting pipl. Subbed.
Have a nice day everyone :D
Davinci has made me love editing, started using it in Feb 2019 and I still use the free version
Did you use the Studie version or free version here, because you have some options that I don't have on my Windows 10 machine. For instance, the shift between native and hardware encoder.
One clear criticism of the free version, in my opinion, is the clear difference in options in DaVinci, depending on what OS you are using it on. Right now I am using a older MacBook Air and on the free version I can choose between h.264 and h.265, I can choose to use hardware when possible, I can select entropy mode, I can do multiple passes and I can go to 320 kbps AAC sound. In my Windows version I can only select h.264 (h.265 is not an option), I can only select the codec profile. I cannot select to use hardware when possible and no multiple passes. Audio is also limited to 192 kbps AAC. That is a clear problem for me, that Resolve is not consistent abroad all platforms, but highly OS dependent.
Thanks again for the feedback. We left an answer under your other comment beneath the full review on our channel ;)
Seeing pretty much everyone use a facepalm in their thumbnails nowadays is just so pathetic
Editing requires a special machine that is customized to run only editing and audio mixing/creating software. If you're not going through and disabling telemetrics in group policy, disabling all unneeded services, uninstalling everything you don't need, checking your startup programs, and having updates only run once a week at specified times, you're not doing it right. In addition, you need to max the ram, use nvme pci drives and make sure all your cache and swap files are going there, and use the latest and greatest nvidia GT card. Once you have that, then you compare products to see what works best for your workflow as a group. It may not be the same things you're thinking about now, once you have a functional system. Also, in Premiere, "render in to out" is pretty useful to preview clips if things are lagging. If you have a fast enough system, it shouldn't take too long. Also note that you can export projects from one editor and import into another.
Thank you for your comment! our PC is actually designed for video editing and should have no problems processing the material. For smaller projects Premiere also runs quite well, but as soon as it gets more complex we have some problems, which we will address in a second video! So far Resolve (especially for more complex projects) works very well!
Now leave Windows for DaVinci Resolve+CentOS Linux 😉
I will bring it up :D
Damn. Boss life! My programmer brother wants me on linux.
Amen. The fact that Da Vinci resolve runs on linux is awesome.
Davinci Resolve rules
It does :)
I do agree with you in a sense that newer versions always seem to be be unstable and riddled with Bugs. I usually work one version back, I've often thought of making the switch, I've tried a few times, but since a lot of my work involves motion graphics I have found it near impossible to jump ship, especially when my work flow involves using illustrator, photoshop, after effects and premiere almost every day.
You know you failed as a software company when the user *has* to start swearing in German XD Shame on you, Adobe! That said, Resolve is just second to none, especially once you get how to work the Cut panel properly.
The only downside is that fusion is no replacement for after effects. After 4 months though I couldn't agree more: there are virtually 0 reasons to use/miss Premiere.
" You become the tech support guy"! 😂😀
:D
Thank you guys for introducing DaVinci Resolve
Thanks for your feedback!
