Hello,
I suppose this is a question to the Blackmagic team. I'll preface by saying I currently use Resolve 12.5 to color grade, and like most, I love it. The added editing functionality is also very good and allows last minute adjustments so I can do those last tweaks as I grade, and then export out of Resolve. Love it - amazing product - thank you.
But I do have an honest question? I saw the hype at NAB with Resolve 14, and I love the idea and goal. Who doesn't want the ability to do everything in one program. I'm definitely on board. However, before upgrading I waited to see what others' experiences were. And after reading them, I'm pretty disappointed, and would actually be scared to upgrade to 14 (as users report older projects just disappearing). Why do I say that I am disappointed?
Well, the presentation at NAB was basically "hey, we added Fairlight, you can now download 14 and you're ready to do it all, including your audio work". However, as many have posted on this forum, the audio section doesn't even function for many users, and for others there are significant problems. Yes, I understand "Beta". But gee golly guys, you can't roll up to NAB and say "Come and get it, it's ready!", when it's not.
That said, if there were some unknown technical issues with certain individuals systems, etc., then I would hope to hear something from you that you're going to make this a stable product.
So bottom line - when will Resolve actually have a functional Audio/Fairlight tab?
I must reiterate - I'm a huge Blackmagic and Resolve fan, and I really want the total package of 14 to work. Your work is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
