I've been editing for over 20 years on various NLE systems, starting with Final Cut. For the past 10 years I have been using Adobe Premiere. In the past year I have become so fed up of the constant crashing, slowness, random errors, poor support and limitations of Adobe Premiere I have been looking for another editing program. I tried Final Cut Studio and was shocked at how basic it has become. I had heard of DaVinci but none of the comparisons I had seen on Youtube comparing it to Premier did it any favours. So I thought I was stuck with Premier.
Editing had become an onerous chore and I no longer had the enthusiasm for it. But it is an essential part of my job. Quite frankly I dreaded having to deal with all the stress and problems I encountered whenever doing a complex edit on Premiere.
I downloaded Resolve 16 reluctantly, because like most people, I couldn't believe anything really good could be free.
How wrong I was.
I've been using it for 2 days. And all I can say is that it gives me the same excitement I got the first time I used NLE software. I can't even describe how exhilarating it is to be editing on this software without sounding like I'm being paid to say it.
I'll be buying the full version more out of gratitude, than necessity as I know I've barely scratched the surface of what the free version can do.
I am indebted to the makers of this product. You deserve to enjoy the utmost success for what you have created. You've certainly made me very happy and we've never even met!
