Resolve as your NLE

PostTue Oct 18, 2016 6:27 pm

I've been using Resolve 12.5.x as my sole NLE. Here's Marco Solorio's experience with Resolve in the last year:

Interesting article. I always recommend Resolve to anybody about to transition from stills to video or for those who are approaching video editing for the first time but I also warn of Resolve's considerable hardware requirements to become an optimum post environment. (eg: Decklink with correctly calibrated 'video' monitor as a minimum requirement)

I personally still prefer to use an NLE that I'm thoroughly fluent with and one that works with a dedicated hardware control surface (Lightworks in my case) but I've long been a fan of eliminating 'round tripping' completely by exporting only an AAF/EDL/XML and finishing the programme in Resolve.

I think for those working in RAW formats and 4K and higher, as the article concludes, Resolve offers a complete solution with the proviso that you are prepared to equip the basic software it with a considerable amount of additional hardware.

If you like to use another NLE, roundtripping will be working fine as long as you use professional sources.

A heap of problems creeps up with footage that lacks TC and/or reel names…
No, an iGPU is not enough, and you can't use HEVC 10 bit 4:2:2 in the free version.
