Plus the space used by elements on the timeline.
In short, your comparison ignored far too much to be of any use. I saw it when you posted. It wasn't worth commenting.
You're thinking of somebody else because this is the post I was talking about.
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=73341&start=50#p415235I didn't have the workspace bar on in my comparison which uses even less space than if it were collapsed and I was matching the layout that Dustin showed in his post.
The Effects panel and Effects Controls weren't open in his Premiere screenshot so the Effects panel and Inspector weren't open in my Resolve screenshot. I did just compare them now though.
Effects Controls/InspectorPremiere's uses about 15-20% fewer vertical pixels for the same effects stack but, I'd argue, is less readable. If we're talking
efficient use of space, that's a tougher question. The reason Premiere uses less space is because you can hide all of the sliders. As soon as you unhide those sliders to show the same types of controls as Resolve, Premiere use about 54% more vertical space. Within that space, Resolve also gives you quick toggles for vertical and horizontally flipping the footage which are both separate effects in Premiere. I didn't include those when measuring Premiere's UI.
That's the vertical space of the actual panel. If I measured from the top of the screen, Resolve fairs a little better. In all cases though, Resolve uses about 22% more horizontal space though.
Effects PanelPremiere can list more effects within the same space so it wins by that metric. Resolve has fewer effects to scroll though because it groups similar effects, includes more basic effects as properties of every clip, and it doesn't have to populate the area with color grading effects/presets and keying and compositing tools so it can be quicker to navigate. I'd argue that the speed of navigation is more important than space efficiency in this panel since you just want to grab an effect from it quickly and then get out.
Not saying there aren't improvement that can be made. I really hope they provide an option to integrate the Editing options in the toolbar into the program and source monitors and allow zooming by resizing the scroll bar. I also hope they allow tracks to be made smaller. But I find that comparisons of UIs, are often very incomplete and too focused on one very specific metric.
For example, I found that most of the time I spent in the Effects Panel in Premiere was to grab different transitions, the RGB Curves, the Crop effect, or the vertical and horizontal flip effect but I don't have to open the Effects panel to do any of that in Resolve. So is Resolve's effects panel really worse than Premiere's if I have to access it 90% less than I would in Premiere?

As I remember did Black Magic Design suddenly have some patent issues with DNG Raw and exchanged it promptly with BRaw in the PCC 4K Camera.
I don't know 'who' have the right to DNG Raw, but I see this revolutionary upgrade in Resolve 16 as BMD's response to the patent claims.
Regards Carsten.
That patent issue was only regards to CDNG's use in cameras, not in NLEs.
