Interesting discussion about tighter Fusion and Resolve integration.
I see that there are two worlds now colliding - the industry (which remembers film, is used to round-tripping and knows what interlacing is) and the YouTube and amateur communities (products of the DSLR revolution, who don't remember film, think round-tripping is a PITA and don't know what standards are because VLC and YT play whatever you throw at them).
My reading of the tea-leaves is that BM is trying to capture as much of the lower-end of the market (indie filmmakers, YT crowd, and amateurs) as it can without annoying the industry, who want the very best, and rightly so. If we've learned one thing from big tobacco, it's that if you hook them when they're young you'll have a customer for life, and this is good for BM when some of them will end up with industry careers and will be looking at things like BM cameras and all the fun studio boxes etc. BM is basically a hardware company with Resolve as almost a marketing tool.
This is how I interpret the integration of the editor and fairlight pages, and the radical price drop.
In terms of what I, as an over-enthusiastic amateur, want.. I'm not sure. I like the idea that Resolve gets some of the functionality of Fusion without getting the whole thing (and me having to learn to fly the space shuttle before I can get Fusion to work). Quite a lot of productions would benefit from things mentioned above, like a 3D camera, fancy titles, etc.
But having said that, I got Resolve at 12.5 and the v14 update was like many christmases at once, so I'm still learning all of that.
