Hey Martin. As the FCP and DVR teams work separately and whole thing is building from scratch on the new platform, so we need to pay for their workhours too. Still, You can ask for a rebate directly on our chat
https://mvfx.co/Chat . From the good news, such discount will be automated in our store (but I cannot give you a specific date yet). So, if you got a product on FCP and need DVR version, you got the second one cheaper, and vice versa.
2. Is the performance of the plugins (e.g. Mtutorial) in Resolve similar to that in FCP? I guess not (because of Motion vs Fusion performance). But will they be noticeably more CPU-hungry then the FCP versions?
Work performance is a bit slower than in FCP (not so responsive in the preview, unfortunately, the adjustment clip effects are not render cached yet - and you need to use them in more complex edits), but the render times on Resolve are better than the FCP (on M1 Max Machine - BMD did a really good job for the new Apple processors in DVR18). Long story short, we try to optimize everything as much as we can, and often update older stuff when we learn a new 'trick' for some things, but we cannot improve much on heavy edits on slower hardware. Still, everything is way smoother than PR tho
