DaVinci Resolve Reviews & Product Details

I really appreciate the ease of use in DaVinci Resolve, with everything set correctly in the UI. Even if I'm not sure where something is, I can quickly search for it and be ready to go. It's also pretty fast, and I feel like it has significantly improved my workflow. The interface is incredibly well-resolved. The fact that the free version is pretty capable is also amazing for people starting out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think one of the things that DaVinci Resolve is less capable of is when we start getting to longer videos that are also higher in resolution. But I guess that also gets kicked out of the way when you use proxies, so it's probably something related to hardware and not the software itself. It has some bugs here and there like the voice over not being saved if the voice over window in on top of the footage and something like that but you can manage.

I really like the trimming feature of DaVinci Resolve with shortcuts, which makes trimming very easy. Also, when I upload my files in the director, I can take them to the edit section and directly bring them to my timeline, and it buffers less even with eight GB RAM. It works as fast as I need and there is no drop in frame rate. During editing, it doesn't make my CPU feel like a powerhouse. Its setup process is also very user-friendly and it guided me step-by-step, which felt very convenient. After that, I really enjoyed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven't seen any issues with DaVinci Resolve, but if you want to make it even better, I can offer some suggestions. When you do coloring in it, I would like to see some samples available for free, such as filters that you can click on. At least five or six filters should be provided for free, after which you can charge a basic premium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free version lets you try out and experience the software, and it feels professional and easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far, I haven’t come across any features that feel unhelpful. I’m not using the Failight and Fusion features right now, simply because I haven’t needed them yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use DaVinci Resolve for creating publicity or reel, and I find it provides an easy editing tool that's quick, simple, and of quality. I like that you can do anything with it, especially with the greenscreen tools and text tools that give you a lot of ability. It's also cost-effective compared to what I was using before, so it's quite easy for my setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I sometimes need to ask the online community to understand how to do things, but it's not much of a problem. Occasionally, it doesn't work as quickly as I would need. Also, I wish it had more reel-friendly possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Davinci provides a flexible editing experience, accommodating all the editing techniques I require. The user interface is intuitive and simple to use, which makes navigation smooth. I also value the frequent updates that continually enhance the software. However, it can be somewhat challenging for beginners to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

At first, figuring out how to get the correct audio output was challenging. The audio and video output settings were quite confusing in the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DaVinci Resolve provides amazing tools for creating and editing videos to a professional standard. It can also be used on an iPad, although some features are slightly limited compared with the desktop version. But being able to be used on an iPad is critical for me, so this is a big win compared to many competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Things are sometimes a little challenging to navigate on an ipad. For instance some screens are hidden and can only be accessed by typing a keyboard shortcut, which isn’t always easy to remember. If I don’t use the app for a while, I have to google the shortcut again… Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how this software helps me edit videos and change different attributes easily like color grading, animation etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a bit difficult to learn especially the fusion section but once you master it you can do anything with it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the color gradings available to make all even in the free version and the fact that Davinci brings world-standard editing to all those who dream to make their projects stand out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although DaVinci has all you need to make your videos look professional at any standard in the market, it lacks intuitiveness and needs a lot of learning to find your way around. I mean, if you are one of those who like trying stuff on your own, I'll advise that you wear your patience boots because you are in for a ride. Once you can learn and master a trick, the results are worth it, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DaVinci Resolve stands out for its industry-leading color grading tools, robust audio post-production (Fairlight), and comprehensive editing capabilities-all in a single platform. The software supports advanced features like AI-powered color matching, Magic Mask for object selection, multicam editing, and a wide range of export options, including presets for YouTube and TikTok. Its collaborative workflow is excellent for teams, allowing editors, colorists, and sound designers to work simultaneously on the same project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

DaVinci Resolve has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners, with many advanced features and unintuitive shortcuts that require time and effort to master. The interface can feel crowded, and some essential tools are not immediately easy to find without consulting manuals or tutorials. The software is resource-intensive, needing a modern, high-performance computer for smooth operation-older or less powerful machines may experience crashes or lag.

Davinci Resolve is intuitive, and by far the best solution for post production. After decades using Adobe Premiere and other non-linear suites, Davinci outshines all others by far. Works perfectly with Arri, RED and Blackmagic camera footage. Very easy to install and implement. Customer support is excellent and the company cares about it's clients. I use Davinci Resolve daily in my post production work and it has integrated seamlessly into my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside is there is a steep learning curve for Fusion which is way different to Adobe After Effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
