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.

Best Video Editing software for Starters and Professionals

  • October 29, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The best part of Davinci Resolve is the Clutter-free UI and easy import and export options. Other than that, the easy edit options, fusion controls and color correction options are easy accessible and perfect. With minimal teaching, one can easily make videos with the software.
What do you dislike about the product?
The awful part is the compatibility issues and time it takes to render out videos on low end computers. Though it can be corrected by using high end processors and graphic card powered systems, core changes in rendering options to make it compatible on all pcs with minimal graphic requirements would be great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Davinci Resolve, I fulfilled my editing needs and color correction demands. I used to cut and blend shots with davinci resolve. Sometimes, I used color correction modules to enhance video colors and colorize raw footages.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you're a starter and would like to explore the best part of video editing and color grading, you must try Davinci resolve. It's highly recommended for color grading and post production part. Speaking as a ardent user, I would say that outputs it gave me are outstanding.

A Hard Transition from Premiere, But Can Be Worth It

  • September 17, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Well, it's free for the base version so you can try it out. And for most people, that by itself is enough to get by! But if you needed to make some high resolution festival content, the lifetime license is super affordable. It includes audio mastering, an excellent (cinema grade) color grading suite, special effects, and professional level non-linear editing all in one piece of software.

So three to four Adobe Creative Cloud programs built into one!
What do you dislike about the product?
...but the software can be unstable and unusable on lower-end computers, it is quite different than the layout and basic workflow of Adobe's Creative Cloud software, and you have to export your content inside of Resolve (where Adobe CC has Media Encoder as an option, and can be run while Premiere or other programs are closed).

Really, the Media Encoder is the only thing I'm missing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is saving me over $600 per year for the Adobe and related subscription fees for other software. Plus, I can use one program instead of having to bounce between three or four. Plus, now I don't need to pay for the software for people to help me with editing and content creation - they can get a copy of the software for free!
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Grab a tutorial and take your time, especially if you're switching from Adobe Creative Cloud.

Professional video software with multi-user collaboration

  • September 11, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
This software allows the editing of video in high definition resolution such as 4K and 8K, it also has multiple very complete color design tools, or animation, it also allows us to add multiple effects already predefined by the program, in the same way we can do jobs in a group in collaboration with different assistants on the same project, which allows us to do really professional work in the shortest possible time but above all with a higher quality, in which we can add and modify different variants of the timeline as cuts, adjustments, presentations, animations, transitions and combinations, it also allows the realization and editing of immersive audio on the videos, other tools it has is that it allows exporting the final works in high quality encodings and compressions allowing an adequate acceleration of the system of graphics we work on
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like the program to have even more options for audio editing, even with more effects and distortions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When we work with this program, they give us projects that we have many times to carry out from one day to the next, and this is where we can get the most out of it since this software allows team collaboration on the same video, as well as a diagram and list of Predefined work we proceed to the edition, where each person in our work team is in charge of a specific project, many times someone is in charge of the imports, others of the design, someone else of coloring and another person is in charge of the effects, And this is how on the timeline we are making cuts, editions, combinations, and insertions of more files to finally proceed to render for different types of mobile devices where we want to present our videos
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When we proceed to the final export of the project, we can lower the weight of the file a lot but not the quality if we properly configure the type of compression and encoding we want, this can be very helpful.

Easy to learn, Fast and Powerful Video Editor. 100% free!

  • June 23, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I really enjoy using the Edit tab to cut a video down and see it sync up the timeline creating a seemless video.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is so much on screen I wish there was more customization in what you could hide and expand. I always want the video preview bigger and the timeline smaller for instance, but it's locked to a certain point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great having quick access to audio noise reduction effects, video transitions and layering on top of just editing a videos length or splicing videos together. It all works very seemlessly.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When looking for a video editing app consider Resolve before dropping cash on other solutions, you will be pleasantly surprised.
This app is used by industry pros which gave me even more confidence in trying it out.
