Adobe? Who is that???
Oh.. Only that $109.07B (Mkt Cap) company also known to be owner of Photoshop among a few other tools.
Adobe isn't going anywhere soon. No need to gloat over an upgrade, as good as it may be.
Of course, it will not kill Adobe; people are just having fun. But, you have to admit this can shake up Adobe's foothold quite a bit. Resolve 15 is Premiere + Audition + After Effects + SpeedGrade and it is all integrated into one piece of software that's $300 and has an incredibly capable free version. All integration into one piece of software is something Adobe isn't doing. Fixed price point destroys cloud payments. Free version absolutely demolishes Adobe.
The real power of 15 is the way it will jump right into the hands of students and hobbyists that will, later on, join the industry. The functionality and price point makes it amazing for those people. It will not kill Adobe overnight but the next generation will learn on Resolve, not Adobe.
Sure, Adobe has Photoshop and Lightroom and other non-film software. But if Resolve keeps evolving like this, that's all they'll have.
