What do you like best about the product?
Black Magic has emphasized the editing and audio aspects of DaVinci Resolve in its latest versions, making it possible now to execute the entire post production process for a film in Resolve. Rather than being an NLE with audio editing functions, Resolve functions more like an operating system that hosts several applications. The audio workstation page has matured dramatically, and the new Cut page provides an alternate editing application designed to be quick and efficient, while the Fusion page provides a robust toolset for compositing. Support for the newest version of BorisFX' Moch Pro and Silhouette paint are welcome additions, bringing some exceptional paint tools to Resolve. There are some bugs in compatibility with those plugins still, but hopefully those will be address in short order. Translating edits from Resolve to other even higher end color grading applications like Scratch and Mistika works well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Resolve still requires a fairly powerful computer to run optimally, but it's gotten a lot more efficient in recent years. That said, it does make good use of that hardware, making this less of a down side and more of a wash. The biggest con still is support for interchange with the industry standard for audio post production, ProTools. There are still some issues with this, and while the integrated Fairlight page is very good, most professional sound designers use ProTools, so that interchange support is still critical.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been using Resolve as my primary non-linear editor and digital audio workstation. It's also an excellent conforming tool, making the process of getting an edit prepared for finishing in software like Mistika and Scratch easy also.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Resolve's roots as a color grading system optimized for a dedicated control surface shows in the unusual layout for its entire toolset. Rather than being geared around maximum flexibility, it's designed to be efficient and user friendly, so it seems quite odd at times for those coming from other applications such as Premiere. However, very few who take the time to learn to use Resolve return to their previous software of choice for a reason.
