"A One-Stop Replacement for Adobe—And Freedom From Subscriptions"

5/5

What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

WHAT DON'T I LOVE! I am an ADOBE REFUGEE and I can tell you I've NEVER BEEN HAPPIER! RESOLVE STUDIO (paid license) and it's accompanying FUSION STUDIO are complete ONE STOP REPLACEMENTS for ADOBE PREMIERE PRO, ADOBE AUDITION and ADOBE AFTER EFFECTS. And I can't tell you how excited I am to be able to say I AM FREE FROM ADOBE AND IT'S RESTRICTIVE SUBSCRIPTION MODEL! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaVinci Resolve?

This is minor.. and I'm getting used to it.. but the main thing I dislike about it *which is not a deal breaker* is that it forces it's project saves into it's own proprietary databases in locations it sets. I am more of a PROJECT ORIENTED artist, where each project has a FOLDER STRUCTURE and all it's files go there.. with RESOLVE, the projects go where RESOLVE says.. and does not respect any previous folder heirarchy.

What problems is DaVinci Resolve solving and how is that benefiting you?

Resolve completely replaces the main "engine" that powered my Visual Effects Studio "BFX IMAGEWORKS". We are able to do EVERYTHING we used to with ADOBE, minus the monthly costs. BUT SPECIFICALLY TO CERTAIN PROJECTS, I can tell you UNEQUIVOCABLY that RESOLVE'S AI ASSISTANTS are PRICELESS and POWERFUL! We've used RESOLVE's AI DIALOG PROCESSOR to save entire projects.
