Davinci Resolve a top editor?
I have used many editors over the years some good, some not so good, some that were good and now they're not. I'm primarily a Premiere Pro user, and I have Avid when I need to fit into a Post's house workflow, so am I excited about the new editing features in Resolve? Well frankly yes I am. All I ever need from a good editor is excellent media management, quick and simple cutting tools and the ability to play footage in real time without the hassle of using proxies. I couldn't care less which Editor has been used to cut the new 'Oscar' winning movie, software only plays a small part in the creative process. A simple editor is always going to be a welcome for me, an Editor where it's software doesn't get in the way of getting the job done (i.e. Adobe bloatware), can only unleash more time to be more creative. I think that Resolve has something very special in version 11, its simplicity and beautiful user interface along with realtime play back and media management has already got me excited, in fact it could well be the Editor that makes the other Editors out there realise that the 1000 new features they have added are not getting used!
