    Writing and Editing

Free User Friendly Software

  • May 15, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This software was very easy to pick up, even for a long-time Premiere user like me. I like that it is inexpensive (i.e. FREE!) so it makes for a great personal project editor.
What do you dislike about the product?
I prefer having a full suite of software that integrates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When working on simple side projects, it's nice to have an easy to use software that doesn't break the bank.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look into the paid versions as well as the free ones. They may cost more, but they also have more features.

Resolving to stay with Resolve, for now

  • March 28, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Faster rendering in 14.3 of GPU-powered effects! Industry-standard color finishing tools! Powerful audio tools with Fairlight engine!
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional flaky performance of VST plugins within Fairlight audio panel, sometimes crashes. I hope to narrow this down to a vendor or certain setting combination soon.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Same-day high-quality rendering of edited H.264 source footage with effects and titling, that doesn't need to be outsourced.

Steep learning curve but one of the best out there

  • February 01, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Resolve is INCREDIBLY powerful. Anything you want to do with a color grade can be done in Resolve. The editing features are also being built up constantly.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is very steep and even after a year or so of using it there are many aspects I still don't know or just discover. Not necessarily a drawback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Going from using Premiere's built in color correcting features to Resolve has greatly improved my videos and gives me so much more control.

Most Dynamic Color Grading Tool

  • January 31, 2018
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
What I love the most about Resolve is how detailed it is when it comes to color grading. I am able to make the most basic footage and make it look like it came out of a movie.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I don’t like is the round tripping from FCPX to Resolve and back. It almost always can’t relink some of my clips which can be very frustrating
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We’re able to make our footage look a million times better, which delivers our clients high quality footage

Incredible Colour Correcting Tool

  • January 29, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Resolve is an amazing program for color correcting footage and the best part is the basic software is free. Anyone can pick it up and learn it, and import into Adobe Premiere for proper footage.

Nodes are a great way of layering changes to your image. You can turn off individual nodes and change the orders to affect the priority of changing the picture.

Keying is great and allows you to control individual parts of the image, as is masking. You can create incredibly complicated image correction to get exactly the kind of look you want.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately Resolve's editing tools are not robust enough to be an all-in-one solution for editing. This means most of my time is spent importing/exporting LUTS.

I'm not really a fan of the media handling and interface. In my opinion the Bin/Folder style file handling is always the best for editing, leaving Resolve a bit shallow on that end.

Export settings are also slightly lacking. You can't, for example, export MXFs for broadcast or do closed captioning work which is needed for television. This makes Resolve great for color correcting, but sadly a half measure for the workflow.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Color correcting for broadcast material. Exporting LUTS from Resolve, importing into Premiere workflow.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try to become on expert on using nodes properly. Color correct in Resolve, and import into premiere!

Industry standard Color Software

  • January 20, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Resolve is the industry standard along with Baselight. Extremely powerful software. Looks intimidating but you learn it, you won't go back. Other powerful tools outside of color, including stabilization, noise reduction, vignetting, control of aspect ratio.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up a system is a steep learning curve, and it's not the most mobile to take a project from one editing station to another.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Specialization in color. Can do wonders if you know what you're doing. Clients watching you work think you're a nerd-god due to the complex-looking interface and the powerful tools.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Resolve touts itself for editing as well. I wouldn't count on it just yet for the entire post-production workflow. But they are getting better and better with every update.

A Beginners Review

  • January 12, 2018
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The absolute control you have over your color grading. I love the ability to pick certain colors or hues and adjust those with precision. And you can do this for multiple selections.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve of the UI is tough, you have to take a tutorial just to learn the layout, you cant just jump in. Just remembering how to add a location to pull footage to grade is a pain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Color correction and color grading of video footage.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take tutorials and really try to learn the software for coloring. Editing tools are included but they are not robust as Premiere Pro, however they are working towards it. Look into editing with Premiere Pro and export to an XML t color in Resolve. Also, it's FREE! Only a few features are behind a paywall yet I have not run into a situation yet where I need them.

Incredible for a Free NLE

  • December 28, 2017
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The price! I never expected a free NLE to be so useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Coming from Avid, there is a steep learning curve. Also, it definitely seems more geared toward Mac than PC.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a light-running, simple NLE to load on a laptop and use for basic field edits. This seems to have solved that problem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It's certainly well worth the price to give it a try.

Free professional NLE!?

  • December 27, 2017
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Davinci Resolve had been one of the coolest new video editing and color grading softwares out! I'm even considering ditching Adobe because of all the power packed into Resolve's free version! It's always had great color grading, but now they've added editing and even audio! So. Much. Power!
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the audio side had a deeper editing capability.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm editing my freelance videos with it, and I can finally do an entire project in one software! I've struggled with finding a good color program to go with my editing, but this takes the cake!
