After 10 years, I’m leaving

[@PeterNeave]

Welcome to the club!

[@BenClaremont]

Thankyou!

[@henryluebberstedt7819]

Did the same almost four years ago. Switched to the Studio version very soon. Around 300 Euros for an editing software of this quality is a no brainer. DR has made huge steps forward the recent three years and the support of the community esp on YT is incredible. What we need is a PlugIn for Insta360 footage. :-D

[@BenClaremont]

Glad to hear- you know there’s a 360 reframing plugin in DR right? I go in-depth about it in my 360 Video 101 course 😁

[@henryluebberstedt7819]

What? I didn't know! I still reframe in InstaStudio and export in AppleResPro to get the best quality for further editing in DR. @@BenClaremont

[@SiamakSadati]

​@BenClaremont we can use plugins like kartaVR ,but still there is no plugin that supports directly INSV files in resolve

[@wvansluisveld3011]

Let’s keep asking for it. And a viewer on every page that supports 360 and shows you the default starting direction at all times.

[@wvansluisveld3011]

Five years ago I started using resolve because I was looking for a poor man’s Premiere Pro and needed 360 support due to lack of combining in the Insta360 app. Being a hobbyist I couldn’t justify to myself to pay for the subscription. Best decision of my life which I started appreciating after some time. I still wish they would invest more in making 360 more intuitive but as long as my PC doesn’t choke on it today I can make the best things.

[@ElaztikaVR]

Wow, I love your reason. Thanks for sharing! I’ve been on Premiere also for the same time. I’m thinking of switching, but I would lose all of my saved projects I have on Pr 😅that’s the reason why 😢

[@BenClaremont]

No worries- do you go back to old projects a lot? I never do. You can always resubscribe for a month to regain access to them if need be.

[@No0ne._.]

You can export them out to XMLs and import them to davinci resolve, it's not a 1 to 1 move, but it's better than nothing, look up how to do it, it's not exactly intuitive and I've never used premiere so I don't want to say the wrong thing.

[@trommelbiel]

I am trying to learn Davinci resolve

[@ScotatMesaCounty]

I use both and respectfully disagree. I do not prefer the interface at all. They are both fine. I edit every day, almost all day with Adobe Premiere and can't remember the last time I had a crash; even switching between Premiere, After Effects and Photoshop, seamlessly. The fact is, if you know what you're doing, you can do anything you need to do in any editor.

[@BenClaremont]

Very true 👍🏻

[@Gabreya]

I’m also done using Premiere Pro, and switched over to DaVinci Resolve. I’m gradually getting used to it. It’s less expensive and interesting.

[@adamkoch212]

I made the switch too. I can't tell you how much more I enjoy editing now. It's crazy.

[@BenClaremont]

Really happy to hear that 😀

[@barbi111]

I learned DaVinci First. Then - just because I've heared that it is the industry standard I switched to Premiere. I ran back to Davinci very quickly :D

[@Feeznova]

Please. Wdym. Elaborate?

[@MixingSneaX]

Great video, now I'm thinking about switching too

[@BenClaremont]

You should!

[@ParkourRhett]

I've been using Adobe products for my video editing for several years now. And I'm interested but afraid to switch DaVinci Resolve because of having to learn a new tool all over again

[@BenClaremont]

Watch the tutorial I just posted- it’s much easier to learn than you might think.

[@ParkourRhett]

@@BenClaremont thank you so much, will do!

[@elijahbill9148]

Worth it man! I just had to switch due to a new job and only took me a few weeks to get up to scratch with it.

[@ParkourRhett]

@@elijahbill9148 that's actually not long at all! That was always my gripe with Adobe is that takes a long time to become proficient with it!

[@No0ne._.]

You can change the keyboard shortcuts to the exact same as adobe premiere. The makers of davinci resolve have a whole panel for shortcuts and they have a preset for most of the big name editors.

[@nderezic]

Buy the Studio version. It uses GPU which makes it much faster. It's a one-time fee which will get you lifetime updates. It's well worth it!

[@BenClaremont]

For sure!

[@pixelrancher]

Purchase the Speed Editor and they throw in the Studio version for about the same price (depending on your location). No brainer.

[@BenClaremont]

Great tip! Might just do that 😀

[@LEYTHLEGACY]

What does it do?

[@pixelrancher]

@@LEYTHLEGACY It's a small piece of hardware with physical buttons and a jog wheel to make life on the cut page much easier. Reduces your time spent using a mouse. Powered by USB-C or Bluetooth. It's about $400 for the editor but they throw in a full copy of the Studio version of the software that's worth $300.

[@EZ_shop]

Downloaded! Thanks Ben.

[@BenClaremont]

Enjoy!

[@Oldgreycowboy]

I’ve down loaded it on my PC and my Ipad. I’ve worked on mainframes since 68. I’m giving it my best to get the hang of this editor. So far I’m making simple videos. Trying to get better so I can put my projects working on my old hot rod our here on YT. Computers were easy for me to learn and remember all these years. This is just taking some time to get the hang of.

[@No0ne._.]

It has a steep learning curve, but there are a lot of resources on youtube for each tab in davinci resolve. Although, there's a lot of beginner stuff, and a little bit of pro stuff, but there isn't much intermediate stuff, but the more you practice the better you'll get.

[@Oldgreycowboy]

@@No0ne._.I'm working on it. Thanks 👍

[@toxic_444]

I'm not leaving right now because of the aftereffects. Fusion isn't as powerful as After Effects. Otherwise, I'll definitely switch to DaVinci. I love davinciiiiiiiiii 😉

[@No0ne._.]

You should definitely check out some videos for fusion, I'd say for most people it's just as powerful but is a lot easier to use, certainly more fun to look at. There's a dude here on KZbin that made a few videos on how to do effects in davinci resolve that you might have done in aftereffects, might help transfer the skills you've gathered.

[@fredoneazx3106]

@@No0ne._. can you name a few channels that provide this type of content? Thanks a ton

[@misterwhyte]

Cost isn't an argument for professionals since we can write it off in our taxes. Also, the interface really is a preference, I personally find the Davinci layout less intuitive (and the fact that it's not customisable makes it a big no-no for me). I also like having dedicated softwares for each task. To each their own. :)

[@BenClaremont]

Yes cost is still a factor- I’ve been editing professionally for 15 years and a US $250 per year subscription can go a long way with apps in 2024- 1 Premiere subscription = 2-3 other subscriptions that could take your business FAR further. Smart businesses do not waste money unnecessarily 😉 otherwise yes, the other things are a personal preference… it’s just amazing that you can get the same functionality as premiere from a completely free software 😁

[@misterwhyte]

​@@BenClaremont I don't get your point regarding cost? Unless you're routinely going over the threshold for what you can claim (never happened to me but maybe that's different for you), then that subscription cost will either go towards a software or in the government's pocket. So either way, you're gonna lose that money. Agreed though that Davinci is impressive for its cost but I guess that's only possible because Black Magic sells expensive equipment.

[@BenClaremont]

@@misterwhyte in 2024 EVERYTHING is becoming a SaaS software. Some are worth it, some not. You can still make tax deductions through business purchases, but why spend on programs that you don’t need to, when other marketing, website, or even video tools & plugins could deliver something MORE than what Davinci does for free. Premiere USED TO BE worth paying for, but in my opinion, it’s not in 2024. I’d rather pay for services like CapCut that help create great social media content and use Davinci for free, combined with the 20 other high-value SaaS softwares I pay for.

[@TheLillianYoung]

I use both. Resolve lacks the full screen windows toggle option for single monitors.

[@BenClaremont]

Hey- are you sure it doesn’t? So far I’ve found workarounds for almost everything I used to use in Premiere. Could be worth another check 😀

[@dansanchez9906]

Downloaded Thanks!

[@BenClaremont]

No problem!

[@dsb227]

Wow! Time to give it a try!

[@Master0fHyrule]

For some reason I can't use any other editor than my Corel Video Studios for videos but I didn't think about advanced tricks for stuff my editor lacks on.

[@BenClaremont]

Might be time to switch 😁

[@Toad36]

I had pr before but i switched to dr because it was cracked lol Also gl on learning dr!

[@SantanuProductions]

Being with the industry, huge 3rd party resources is my reason not to leave Premiere yet.

[@bernstock]

I've been saying this for years: It smashes AfterFX and it's free. Good decision Ben

[@Totustuus2022]

Me too. I did the jump on 2022

[@TobiasHam]

How about 360 editing? Insta360 plugin?

[@BenClaremont]

You can do reframing with the KatraVR plugin- I cover it in my 360 Video 101 course 👍🏻

[@Meerkat000]

I’m still stuck in Pr due to Ae. Fml

[@raiidovfx]

Give fusion a go

[@BenClaremont]

Yep give fusion a go 👍🏻

[@No0ne._.]

There's a dude here on KZbin that's made a few videos on how to do effects in davinci resolve you might have done in aftereffects, that might help transfer your skills to make the learning curve less steep.

[@raiidovfx]

The dude's name is Ryan osborn if you decide to look him up

[@trollimusprime8521]

I find resolve crashes about the same

[@Georgevideocliper]

After effects is better and audition

[@BenClaremont]

I’m sure AE is better… but Davinci is gonna be good enough for the average user’s graphic needs. It can do some pretty advanced stuff.

[@Georgevideocliper]

@@BenClaremont for this yes I heart a lot people say for price of premiere but I guess most people have from torrent the program

[@No0ne._.]

Davinci resolve has an equivalent for audition, it's called fairlight, it's really good, there's probably a good comparison video on here to show you what I mean.

[@JocuCode]

You can add the recently released reason

[@Summoned-Nightmare]

Does DaVinci have the equivalent of presets and capable of captions I can edit? Genuinely curious, been wondering if I should move over a while.

[@BenClaremont]

It sure does 😀

[@OaklynMediaLLC]

Get lost Adobe!

[@OcaOca]

What about for 360 video?

[@insignia4marketing]

is this a paid endorsed review?

[@BenClaremont]

Absolutely not. Anything that is paid cannot be a review. Also the points I mentioned are all valid.

[@BobbyInBlue]

What about 360 editing?

[@BenClaremont]

Hey Bobby- i really don’t do much immersive 360 editing, it’s all reframing really. But when I do it will just have to be without the immersive 360 viewer… or perhaps I’ll use Final Cut as it’s the fastest for that 😁

[@BobbyInBlue]

@@BenClaremont Very cool! Great way to look at it. I need to give Davinci a try as well.

[@jdstrobist]

Give FCPX a go!

[@BenClaremont]

I have- it’s good, and fast! But DaVinci is a bit more advanced.

[@PhilippePerruchot]

You forget to say that Davinci can edit 360 videos 8-)

[@BenClaremont]

That wouldn’t be a reason to leave premiere as premiere can do that too

[@PhilippePerruchot]

@@BenClaremont Same quality?
