Davinci Resolve is the best tool I've ever used for video

  • June 17, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Davinci Resolve is the integrated workflow that allows the user to collect, trim, edit, composite, add effects and color and sound-design all in one platform, with surprising ease.

The editing tools are fast and intuitive and allow for surprisingly fast editing.

The color-editing capabilities in Resolve are industry-standard and relatively intuitive to use, and elevates the quality of video significantly.

Additionally, the free tier is surprisingly full-featured and allows users to truly test whether Resolve will meet their needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much. Some keyboard shortcuts and mouse commands are counterintuitive, at first, and it takes time to get to know the software. It's hard to zoom in on a timeline. Sometimes positioning clips on timelines can be clunky and slow down editing. And, as one might expect, it's CPU-heavy, especially in the Fusion tab. Finally, while I appreciate the inclusion, I have never enjoyed using Fairlight, the integrated audio program. It's convenient, and useful for small tasks, but seems to me to be the only element of Fusion that can't compete with dedicated competitors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DaVinci Resolve extends our ability to create videos quickly and efficiently in a cost-effective way. Unlike other tools with extremely high prices or ongoing subscriptions, some of our employees who work with video occasionally, rather than constantly, can use the free tier of Resolve to produce high quality video quickly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're not familiar with any video production platform, I'd recommend just installing DaVinci Resolve and never looking back. For the price point, it's been my best experience with a platform by far. Only look for a different platform if you discover after a significant amount of time that you can't acclimate to Resolve.

For users of other platforms: download the free version of Resolve and use it for long enough to adjust to Resolve's workflow versus your other platform. If you decide, in the end, to keep your existing solution, you won't have spent any money on finding out, and I think there's a substantial chance that you'll discover that you prefer Resolve to your previous solution.

It helps to speed up elementary frame cuts and delivery of vlog files
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it, spend time to learn basic it won't be waste of time and you will continue to use it and won't lock any further

Amazing offering where novices start for free & they support them as they grow into pros.

What do you like best about the product?
Coming from Avid & Adobe it's a bit of a different workflow, but the software runs great and is very fluid which is a nice change.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think just some differences in work flow has been the biggest hurdle but I am slowly learning to adjust.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I was tired of software that crashes and paying for software that gets more expensive with little real value being added. The change log of Resolve speaks for it's self and has enabled me to combine layers of content more easily.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be open to learning a new workflow and things will make sense over time.

Finally, an integrated platform for editing, effects, color correction and audio

  • April 29, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Finally, I have a program that I can perform all of my video content creation tasks without having to bounce between multiple programs and paying a massive subscription. The media ingestion and editing platform is easy to use and easy to transition to for Premiere users like me. The color correction is second to none, and the price can't be beaten. Rendering is also a joy, and runs faster than Adobe. I've found that Davinci Resolve is much more forgiving and accepting of less expensive hardware setups and behaves much better with my AMD graphics card than Adobe products ever have.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve for Fusion, the Davinci alternative to After Effects, is pretty high for anyone who studied at the School of Adobe. I understand the concept, with everything working in almost a flowchart kind of way, but I've yet to grasp its potential fully, and I'm afraid I never will entirely. Audio editing in Fairlight is also one of the weaker areas, especially coming from Adobe Audition. I feel that it is designed more for mixing rather than basic audio editing. Thankfully there are other tools available that I can use as an alternative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Davinci Resolve has become my team's primary platform for digital production and is currently being used on our next feature-length documentary. I've also saved a large amount of money since I no longer subscribe to Adobe Creative Cloud for my video editing needs. The easy integration with Blackmagic Design cameras has solved many issues I've had with color correction, greatly increasing my speed and picture quality.

What do you like best about the product?
The chroma key feature works well. If there weren't so many enraging bugs, this could easily be a 5 star.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are several bugs but I'll mainly focus on this one in particular. My computer has no spec issues, and runs every single other video editing software in existence with perfect precision and speed. Davinci Resolve, on the other hand, crashes and closes the window out of absolutely nowhere for no reason, deleting all of the hours of work that I did since the last point that I saved. Sometimes it will even close while exporting a video, abandoning the rendering process altogether so that I have to start the export all over again. This has caused me to completely quit on projects that I've been working on because hours and hours of painstaking work has been randomly deleted for no reason because Davinci Resolve just decides to die out of nowhere. Enfuriating. No other video software does this so it's clearly a fixable issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
None of my issues have been solved. The only benefit is full HD video exporting.

High-end cool features for a fraction of the cost, great for beginners as well as professionals.

  • December 14, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It has all the cool features of high end video applications, but at a fraction of the cost. Integrates with all Black Magic hardware. Tons of online tutorials both by Black Magic as well as user-base.
What do you dislike about the product?
The flexibility of the application has a logical counterpart: steep learning curve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are not into videography as our core-business. We needed, however, a tool to create instructional videos, both using screen recordings, screen captures as well as filmed speakers. Budget was tight, but with DaVinci Resolve we pulled it off. Been running it on Windows and Linux and soon will be running it on Mac.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Understand the concepts and jargon of video editing first. I was not a videography expert, had some basic knowledge but knew what I needed to be able to to. DaVinci Resolve has all the features I needed and then some. In the end I started using more and more of the features and my creativity exploded. I'd recommend perusing the user-base and community tutorials.

  • November 26, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I like whole of the softare as it fullfils my requirements. its fusion tab is just amazing as we can actually do anyhing over there and it has video properties editng feature as well which completes it.
What do you dislike about the product?
bit diificult to learn, bit fuzzy as it has lots of feature very versatile software. took a long time to learn this but at last i was satisfied with it. It has many tutorials on the youtube which helped me a lot as learning it from scratch without any help from seniors or others. but at last it is good and can compete with adobe premier pro as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
its good for making and merging videos, great for everything as far as my requirements as i am a daily user so i can say that it is all one needs.
