DaVinci Resolve Vs Premiere Pro: 5 Reasons Resolve Is BETTER

[@LanielPhoto]

My biggest reasons: Once installed I never have to go online to use it (security and all that). I own the program; and upgrades to date have all been free- so... economics. Plus add the color page.

[@heytibby]

Just pirate pre activated versions of Adobe.

[@LanielPhoto]

@@heytibby - Some of us are honest. Besides, DaVinci is soooo much better, cheap, and you own it right off the bat.

[@heytibby]

@@LanielPhoto LOL honest. You think the adobe corporation is honest? Do you know about their woke agenda or their corrupt employment practices or are you just another brainwashed religous fuck

[@rano12321]

For most people the color page was the reason to switch, Ik I'm a minority here but for me, Fusion was the biggest reason to switch because just like 99% of hard core premiere and after effects users I resented the idea of ever using nodes. It seemed overcomplicated, unnecessary and useless to me, oh how naïve I was, it only took me 2/3 videos of comparing nodes vs layers and my life literally changed. It's been 3 years and I edit and do VFX as my job and I haven't touch Premiere or AE for 3 years now, I'm so used the whole logical nature of nodes that I can't even use photoshop anymore because once you go nodes, there's no coming back.

[@beninua]

I kind of agree and use nodes myself, but I find it very hard to explain in a meaningful way to people that are used to layers from Adobe (or other NLE). What introductory videos on for instance KZbin would you recommend as the best to teach someone both the basics of nodes, and then slowly increase to the more sophisticated bells and whistles. I personally use Skillshare for many things, and there are a lot of good courses on DVR including excellent courses on Fusion and Color Grading but I also know that many people find Skillshare to be a tad expensive, so are there any KZbin content creators out there that you recommend when people ask where they should search for good content explaining nodes in Fusion?

[@rano12321]

@@beninua For me it worked out very well when I watched some comparisons on YT and tried to do anything other than some very basic stuff. The analogy that made the most sense for me was thinking the video/image like water and the nodes are like a plumbing system where it flows through the pipes, if you wanna affect it, just chain up nodes as effects in between media in and out and if you wanna merge two different sources then use a merge node. Very simple. Realistically layer based compositing such as After effects works by emulating physical film compositing where Nodes work by emulating digital compositing which makes it a lot more logical, visual and flexible. I've mostly learned about Fusion from YT by watching tutorials, for beginner of course I'd recommend Casey Faris, he has bunch of very nice introductory courses for Fusion but for more intermediate to advanced stuff there are many channels including the original developer of Fusion Eyeon software on YT, channels like Pirates of Confusion, Milolab tuts, VFX Study, Prophetless, Nomad R Productions, Jake Wipp, Swatara Media, Ryan Osborne, Patrick Sterling etc.

[@winnersandlosers]

A perfect example is scrolling through fonts. Premiere is full of lag whereas Davinci is immediate. I had gotten so used to Adobe's sluggishness that when I first saw it in Davinci it felt like cheating. Related note: I'd love to see Davinci update the text editing with the ability to do a bounding box or paragraph mode or whatever that's called. As is I find a bit clunky (to be fair, I'm still a few versions back so maybe it's updated)

[@DarrellMartinelli47]

Hi Matt. If you do not want to use a custom workspce in PP all you have to do is one click and you are back to the standard edit layout or color layout. So you are not stuck using the cutom workspace.

[@beninua]

For me that's not the problem. In Adobe Premiere wanted a workspace that was NOT the custom workspace, which is lacking so many of the functions I use all the time. But in Adobe I either had to use a triple monitor setup where I divided all my panels in use over the three monitors and had a fourth preview monitor on the wall above my desk (a 4K 60" TV). I recently grew tired of the three monitor setup and opted for one 57 inch 32:9 UltraWide Dual UHD monitor (7,680 x 2,160 @ 240Hz/1ms/HDR), which gives me the same real-estate) and I of course still have the large 4K TV on the wall above my desk as a preview screen. For that purpose Resolve is absolutely perfect. Before I had 4 different workspaces and I switched between them with shortcuts 1-4 mid-project to close some panels and open others, so they would fit the next step in the process. And switching workspace with an extreme amount of panels open and perhaps 24 tracks of footage and audio is no joke. The switching itself was fast due to fast hardware, but Adobe didn't always remember the position of the panels in the saved layout, so the panels that should stay on one screen overlapped another after a few switches back and forth. Besides I still had to open After Effects all the time for all my 3d work and animations. The thing I miss the most is Audition that I really loved. But after having practiced with the built in Fairlight tab for audio I see how good that really are, and it's support for VST/VST3 plugins leaves nothing to be desired. And no matter what tab I am in, I can always see the preview of my video a

[@Pawnlust]

@@beninua You're saying that resolve could already do what you required all these plug-ins for? This is surprising to me.

[@VideoVo-Tech]

Currently trying to make the switch to resolve now after using premiere for Almost 10 years. I think the color science alone is worth the swap. Even for really basic stuff, Premiere just never looks right when adding contrast, saturation, and exposure. Ive also enjoyed the speed of stabilization in Resolve vs Warp Stabilizer.

[@paulosousa5870]

I have 10 years using premiere. But I cant switch to revolve. I will never had the same experience that o have with premiere and after effects. Its easy to you editing on revolve? For me is kinda more dificuld, because imagine, if i need to do some effect I already know what to do in premiere, without thinking. If I use revolve I just get Stuck and need to find a toturial to help me. But I cant work like that, I need to do my job in the easy way possible.

[@mseriesnigeria]

Talking about interface customizing, @Matt, I will say NO to Davinci Resolve on that, reasons because Premiere Pro is more customizable and helping pro editor to do that to our timeline interface. For instance, if I'm working on a movie scoring, I used to customized my Bin area to the numbers of the sequences created and open all the sequence down for easy access to any materials I needed.

[@Siimkristjanpariis]

Reason 3 - I agree but also one thing to consider is that Premiere user will more likely adapt After Effects easily because its still timeline and layer based. Meanwhile Fusion in Davinci is COMPLETELY different. If you are used to AE timeline+layer editing, then fusion feels like electrical engineering, forget everything you learned in AE. You need to create bunch of nodes, make the keyframes inside different nodes and connect them together in correct order. It looks like electrical diagram where you connect all the transitors and resistors and light bulbs together with wires and one wrong connection, the whole thing doesnt work(and you have no idea where you are doing it wrong). But its very capable once you get hang of it and those node diagrams start to make sense, some people to amazing complex compositions with it.

[@Nrde]

This relates to what people are used to use. I've never used premiere so much that I could say I was any good or productive, but starting Resolve and Fusion from scratch wasn't difficult at all (for me). Also the "plugin" ecosystem starts to be really good for Resolve also, at least for typical motion graphics, titles, zooms etc. that beginners would struggle to build from scratch in Fusion. So you don't necessarily need fusion at all if you install plugins or use built in effects (that you can also dive into and modify as they are also built in fusion). In any case for a normal person whose livelihood doesn't rely on editing videos and hasn't learnt Premiere inside out, I would say Resolve is the better option in any case. It's free, it's not unusable or even difficult to learn by any means and it has more features - even the free version that it's enough for even more advanced use cases. Resolve isn't perfect (far from it if you read Davinci's user forum) but it's maybe more reliable to use than Premiere.

[@Siimkristjanpariis]

@@Nrde Yea I know, I prefer Resolve any day, have been using it since 2020 and I'm not switching back. Its just that I was quite comfortable in After Effects by then and Fusion felt like I have to start from scratch because almost everything was different.

[@rano12321]

After effects works by emulating how film compositing works but Fusion works like emulating how a computer process images which makes things a lot more powerful and flexible when you are doing thins like 3D camera tracking or other things that quite didn't exist when people were doing physical film compositing. Fusion is logical and you'd have to chain up nodes in a logical manner to create your desire effect, this logical flow chart might be initially less intuitive than adobe's layer base approach but it's a billion times more powerful, flexible and faster when you are dealing with complex project hence pretty much 99% of all professional programs use nodes and not layers. There aren't many layers outside of the whole adobe thing either.

[@Arborealagenda]

I think I will make the switch soon - reason 5 is so spot on. One question I have about Resolve that is very niche is about audio time units and video frames. In Premiere it does both but if you move audio as a block that contains tracks positioned differently in terms of time units, linked with a video clip, it throws away all the time unit positions and resolves them to the nearest frame. It is a serious flaw. I wonder if Resolve maintains the frame / time unit positions when moving linked audio and video material?

[@BSRWeddingFilms]

#5 is dead on, and the reason I made the switch. When Adobe support couldn’t even tell me why Premiere was running so laggy I knew it was time. Nothing is more frustrating while editing than a slow interface that takes 2 seconds to respond to clicks. Same source material runs buttery smooth in Resolve.

[@luizsaha]

If I wasn't so accustomed with premiere and need to use it collaboratively I was tempted to make a switch when even ripple deleting on premiere timeline was so slow.. My solution was to revert to premiere 23.2..anything above that I find to be a laggy piece of filth

[@MicahIsBatman2]

5:45 that's in premiere. If you use the pen tool on a video clip you get the same exact effect. That and the opacity slider are the two main ways I add fades, but both show a ramp on the clip itself that you can then edit by moving the dots on the clip. The same is true for Audio volume.

[@evanleemiller]

Fusion is the most confusing thing I’ve ever used. I’m sticking with After Effects. Love DV though.

[@isaacbedford3644]

Fusion is more powerful than After Effects. Node-based (flow chart) workflows are industry standard for complex VFX and are way more FREEING than layers (and pre-comps). Most people who learn node-based software never go back to layer-based software (unless absolutely necessary).

Man I have wanted to upgrade for over 14 years but the whole industry seems like such a rip off bottle necking/overheating/Loud fans/ cheap feeling lame laptops for 5k to 13k on insane price's for rip of graphic cards and on and on.... The way software forces you to upgrade and ruin your projects if you don't. I want to go with Resolve but I really like effects and adding Layers when I edit so it seems like Divinci is the way to go with how I like to make and edit videos. With this video in the link below I edited it using my trusty old a Dell XPS 17 l702x with a i7 2860 qm and16 gbs of ram on Windows 7 with a 1tb samsung pro ssd with no Ai.~ Hard to believe i used all these effect and layers on the time line with out rendering to see accurate playback with the effects on while working on it no problem !! There was probably 800 cuts and edits in this clip. It was spot on for how much is going on in this high pace video editing with Filmora 8.5.3 For a old Dell Laptop..... Then they released a update to basically ruin how good the software was and ruined it pretty much grrrr. Forcing you to render after ever effect change you make to see accurate playback. Grrrrrrrrr.... Hat's off for the way fIlmora 8.5.3 for making it fun for editing using effects and and creating with massive changes with minimal movement's aka being able to do things with a few steps that makes huge difference's in being creative with edit! If your using effects/overlays/txt/transitions/elements/split screens on and on it was great with 8.5.3!!!! Filmora made it fun which brings out more creativity... Instead of never ending bs you haft to do with other programs that takes away from the creativity during editing and makes it more like you haft to be a computer tech to do basic things with your clip on the timeline ...... I think everyone would rather be able to apply things to there timeline in two or three steps... Not 15 steps...

I have used Premiere Pro & AE since 2013. I have only used Davinci since 3 months ago. It was easy for me to switch since I knew what I was looking out for. I'm now very comfortable with Daviinci. What I can tell you, I can't use PP again. I can only be using AE as I'm not so familiar with fusion at the moment but i'm taking steps to learn it. My most loved tool in Davinci is that I can isolate my interviews from any background noise with a click of a button which used to be a big problem in PP.

[@annoholics]

5 biggest reasons why people still use Premiere Pro: 1. They still have a ton of projects from customers that they might need to change later. Without Adobe subscription you can no longer use your own work. 2. All their collogues use Premier Pro so if they need to collaborate with a colleague then they still need Premiere Pro. 3. Customers don't just want the final product, but they want the project files as well. 4. You are familiar with Premiere Pro and relearning everything from scratch will take you months or even years. Who is going to pay for that? 5. As an experienced editor you might even be a trainer, and all your students want to learn the tools that are market leading. So, for a lot of editors, it does not matter if Davinci Resolve is better or not. They are simply stuck to Adobe, and Adobe knows that all too well. If you still use Adobe, you gave that company a license to all your work that was edited by their tools for ever, and that is a mighty long time.

To make a comparison of these two programs, you would have to understand one thing, Davinci Resolve is a program that has everything, just a click away and on each of its pages, they are very good programs, being integrated in that way, it is the best NLE in the market right now, if you compare DR with FCP or Premier, you would consume more time on them, if you have to work on audio, color grading or VFX. Don't forget, it keeps getting better and stronger.

I wish Davinci was more customizable. Avid lets you choose between many preset modes and you can import them to your friends computer quickly. No need to be confused just toggle back to the mode they like after you leave. I edit faster when i need certain keyboard shortcuts just on certain projects. I want my program to run at the same frame rate as the video project. No need for 60fps.

[@EricLatek]

Great Video Breakdown of the two! I use both applications, and find pros and cons to each. I really wish Adobe would integrate After Effects and Premiere much like DaVinci does with Fusion whereas you can hit a tab to move into AE without having to open separate. Also, from a developer standpoint, creating plugins with the DaVinci Fusion system is much better versus Adobe extensions.

Probably with all these new fancy-pancy laptops/desktops you don't see the differente but with my 8 years old system it is quite obvious. I tried everything: decoded the input files, use proxy, lower playback resolution, etc. DaVinci is still struggling to get me smoother playback. On top of that it tries to fry my both CPU and GPU during export, while Premiere works quite smooth with decoded files even without proxies, full or half resolution during playback and temperature of both CPU and GPU does not get higher than 65 degrees celsius. Also, DaVinci interface does not give the option to make its background more lighter - this white text on black is very hard on the eyes for some people.

I personally think you wont get any NLE that are better for proprietary formats than DVR. It can work directly on RAW media from all the camera brands out there, and it can even export in the same media if you desire to keep a RAW copy of your preferred manufacturer format. BlackMagic has their own series of cameras, and of course support their RAW recordings, but DVR also support editing directly in RAW from Sony, ARRI, RED, Nikon, Canon, and many more.

[@markarnold8308]

Agree with @beninua ... just take a little longer to learn. One aspect... if you are into using lots of effects. the aftermarket plug-ins are not as abundant for davinci.

[@beninua]

​@@markarnold8308 I am really surprised that you say the aftermarket plugins aren't as abundant. We may of course use different plugins, but I on my part has never had more plugins at my disposal than now that I am on DVR. I had several plugins from BorisFX, VisualVFX, FXHome, NeatVideo, FabFilter, Motion Array, and several more of the big guys out there. The reason I respond is absolutely friendly, I am just a bit surprised. I was actually a bit worried about the plugins being harder to get, as I do rely a lot on plugins as I don't want to invent everything from the bottom when someone much smarter than I have made the most beautiful transitions, titles, LUTs, etc. that I can use with just a few tweaks to personalize their look and feel. So I was very pleased to see, that all the plugins I used in Adobe did in fact also work in DVR. I did have to buy a DVR license in some cases, while other licenses were multi-platform licenses, where I just had to reset the license used on adobe to be able to reactivate within resolve. So you simply caught my attention because you adressed one of my worst fears of changing to DVR, and I can only say that all my fears were put to rest when I saw how smooth all worked on DVR. In all fairness there was ONE single plugin that hadn't been developed for DVR that existed for Adobe and that was a plugin developed by the stock footage provider Motion Array, as they have made a plugin where you can search and browse their stok libraries directly from within Premiere, without having to go to the website to search for the footage or audio clip. But to be honest I only used it for a very brief period as it made my Premiere Pro crash even more often than it did already, so I ended up using my Motion Array from their web interface as I used to, and after switching to DVR that is the same. ANOTHER THING THOUGH: After switching to DVR, the endelss trunks of money saved on annual fees has freed up so much room in my cudget that I am actually able to buy so many more of the fabulous plugins such as BorisFX Sapphire and other high end professional plugins that I could never allow myself to buy before. Now that I have no continuous expenses on my NLE I can spend infinitely more on cool plugins, so also in that regard I find that the vast abundance of plugins at my disposal are much bigger after switching to DVR. But I am curious. Did you use some specific plugins while using Adobe that you had to ditch when switching to DVR? I'm simply curious as I may very well have forgotten about some plugin I used and simply tought myself another way of completing the same task through the use of alternate plugins or methods. I am really excited to hear what you say, as this is truly of great interest to me. Thank you so much for your kind response previously. 🙂

I have a room that's very echo-y. Premiere has a de-reverb feature that's very handy to remove echo in one click with a slider. Is that a comparable tool in resolve. Apart from this, for editing vlogs, I absolutely love Resolve. :)

[@isaacbedford3644]

reverb effect (decrease reverb, increase "direct" signal), voice isolation effect,

[@officialcisko]

Color panel is the main reason I made the switch.

[@kostaschelioths6608]

Davinci resolve is more light than premiere?. I mean in graphic cards..

[@TheRealCalijokes01]

I used dynamic link while back and I remember I had messed up clips all the time , the fact yo have to use different apps is crazy

[@yedaoctopus114]

Main thing you don't have to nest footage to stabilize if you have changed time

[@RandumbTech]

No mention of the Speed Editor? That stupid thing saves me HOURS because I can fly through my rough cut. That is reason enough to switch to Resolve.

[@robertbacklund4438]

One thing you should add to your list (applies only to Studio version). Resolve is superior with utilizing all of your hardware. If you do a lot of effects using Fusion and have built a monster workstation with multiple GPUs Resolve will see all of your hardware and effectively use it to speed up processing times.

[@Danumals]

Still waiting for Premiere Pro to have a built in video noise reduction effect. Like over 15 years now having users pay for 3rd party plugins (Neat Video).

[@kalinki6353]

Thank you , very helpful video . Gonna try Da Vinci now.

[@dgfitzpat]

Reason 1 is bogus. The vast majority of PP (Premiere Pro) users aren't called on to help another PP user. Also, anybody skilled enough to be called on to help another PP user, knows how to work with people who may have a unique PP workspace. I have been using the same customized workspace for many years so like DaVinci users, I always know where things are and I have never been asked to help another PP user. Giving users flexibility is a plus, not a weakness.

[@badplatano]

Sorry but the first one is wrong, resetting the workspace in Pr to stock is only one click away, so I don't see this being a pro at all. New Davinci user coming from Pr here 🤚

[@EriveFilms]

YOU DONT HAVE TO RENDER EVERYTHING IN RESOLVE. SAVES ME HOURS.

[@jmichaelstone]

I haven't used Resolve at all, but my understanding is (or at least *was*) that After Effects is still more powerful than Fusion - is that not the case? In my own workflow, I'm constantly using After Effects for motion graphics and character rigging... plus relying on plugins like Element 3D, Lockdown and a bunch of others from Maxon/Red Giant. Can Resolve/Fusion cover all of that? Because I'd freaking LOVE to dump Adobe.

[@Nrde]

I don't know half of the programs or plugins you mentioned, but Fusion is very capable. But I think you would at least need some plugins to achieve the same without building everything from the ground up. You can get a feeling of its capabilities by searching "fusion tutorial" on YT.

[@akyhne]

I don't kniw about character rigging. I know DR has added some features regarding 3D import recently. For motion graphics, AE is still better, but you can do most of the same, in Fusion. Tracking is said to be betrer in DR. As for being a complete compositors, Fusion is superior. Fusion used to be used on many blockbuster movies, before Nuke took the lead. The first Avatar movie was done mostly with Fusion (standalone). Fusion and Nuke are true 3D conpositors, while AE is a 2.5D compositor. Just remember this: No company only use one or the other. They use whats best for the case. Hardly any movie don't use Avid (editing), AE (motion graphics), Nuke (compositing) and DaVinci Resolve (color grading), Photoshop (imagibg/graphics) ss well as other software, like in-house developed software.

[@YaBoy_Marc]

Can't i just use both? I mean Use DaVinci for what Davinci is better and vice versa?

[@NicolasMiract]

edit vertical video in a horizontal monitor is imposible without customizations

[@Nrde]

I think the more obstacles for those the better 🙂

[@BenSussmanpro]

Thanks for this comparison. My Adobe subscription which includes everything for $31/month is ending I just learned, and I’ll be damned if I’m paying $60/mo. However, I’m currently working with After Effects on a project and I need to know whether Resolve will handle .aep files. Thanks again!

[@anam170]

I love the custmizable interface of premiere, n premiere's timeline (edit) interface with custom shortcuts is fast n intuitive. Resolve nails it in Color interface, though.

[@Nrde]

Resolve has custom key bindings (premiere and FCP built in I think), but for macros you probably need an external software.

[@rudolphlagarrigue5072]

Today Resolve and Premiere are very good editing software. In premiere to have good color grading power you need red giant magic bullet plugin (ocio opencolorio). I prefer the well know customized adobe interface (photoshop, premiere, after effects, illustrator....) above all for multi-screens workspace. But resolve concept is newer and have best color grading without plugin with the best price. It is very good for customers that Resolve is pushing the compétition because adobe have to follow this new hype. Look how many youtube video are on why i switch from premiere to resolve.

[@aasthaparadoxart]

I agree resolve is so much better. And the pricing is the icing on the cake

[@En_Diel]

7:01 lol 🤣 did the adobe scam you or something. You have a point tho I never used resolve

[@Demida148]

If you scroll up or down in the comments, you'll find someone quoting, 'It's a poor musician who blames the instrument,' as if that somehow settles the debate. Look, this isn't about 'blaming the instrument'; it's about recognizing which tool is objectively better for the job. DaVinci Resolve offers unparalleled color grading, a smoother workflow, and, for many, a better overall experience without breaking the bank. Meanwhile, Premiere Pro users are constantly battling bugs, crashes, and Adobe’s subscription trap. Saying, 'It's not the tool, it’s the user,' is a lazy argument. Sure, a skilled editor can create great work on either, but why struggle with an inferior tool when there’s a better one available? The real pros don’t waste time defending flawed software; they just move to what works best. So yes, DaVinci Resolve is better. Deal with it.

[@bitsRboolean]

In the year of our lord 2024, might I recommend gaming 120+ FPS? I've got old man eyes, but all those people that said you can't see faster than 60FPS were lying.

[@paulosousa5870]

Davince is more dificuld to learn than Premiere. I have 10 years of editing video on Premiere, and I tried to use resolve and its a pain to my brain. And fusion omg with nodes is another pain in my brain, I guess I will keep using adobe because i have much more experience.

[@rjisasavage]

Love Final Cut!

[@leonardrillig626]

DaVinci just wins in my opinion. Even on my MBP M1 Max, Premiere starts to stutter. I actually sold my 4-Core iMac back then cause I thought a new Model would fix the problem. But it didn't. Hell no! Premiere is still working just crap and DaVinci ..?? Buttery smooth, whatever you would smack on. The timeline works. Always! Go to hell Premiere with your tiny keyframe handles. Only thing that I miss, is a vertical monitoring window for social Media edits and a bigger view on the whole timeline, like a scale control. That would be sick!

[@sweet4nice2003]

honestly, I love premier for the edit only but colour ending it's the worst! And the customizing of panels is a no go especially that if you are on the edit window and you suddenly go to the audio window it changes you custom windows which totally sucks! With DR we can say they have perfected that software and ease of use. The fusion page still scare but one day I'll get to understand it. Also it have the best transitions and even extra free transitions that are far more renderable than in PR! to me DR is the King of colors grading and with effect capture to power bins, it's just beautiful 🙂👌

[@EnclaveDesigns]

#1 is preference.

[@JasonMorrisphotocinema]

Premiere pro for life and you can’t change my mind 😂😂

[@isaacbedford3644]

have fun paying and having headaches for life lol

[@AduKofs]

How you feel now with the new terms and conditions?

[@StuartHetzler]

you will end up paying nearly thirteen thousand dollars for premiere over the course of a career

[@1ll1c1t_one]

Really hard to get away from the Adobe software suit because they do so many things right. The new AI features in photoshop are amazing

[@The_Idea_of_Dream_Vision]

I used all panels when I used premier and now w davinci ma happy w workspaces

[@EJ-ye7wg]

I watched this guy say premier pro was better… a week earlier. At this point, he’s just making content for clicks

[@moodswingy1973]

All creators make videos highlighting the strengths of "X" product over "Y" and then "Y" over "X." The difference with this guy is he didn't reveal his own personal preference.

[@CompoundProjects]

I warn you not to make a video about why FCP is the best. If you do, your love for other NLEs will start to fade and you’ll ask yourself why anyone would use anything but FCP.

[@filmmakerevolution]

I love and use both daily…. Buuuut there ain’t nothing satisfying about aligning elements across multiple clips in resolve, no guidelines 😂

[@Nrde]

You could use adjustment clip and snap the clips to that. Then delete it after its not needed anymore. Or did I misunderstood your problem?

[@filmmakerevolution]

yeah thats the only thing you can do, but it slows you down and is clunky, the Adobe version you drag out guidelines withing a second and done@@Nrde

[@Nrde]

@@filmmakerevolutionwell you could use the shortcut key to add a clip from bin which would save you a tiny bit of time to skip drag&drop but you have to select the adjustment clip first. You could have different lengths of clips readymade though if you need clips that cover certain amount of time start to end Anyway it's just a suggestion to help with your problem.

[@gabrielchristopher9363]

​​@@Nrdeplease sir, am about to record tutorial videos and I don't know if am to go for Premiere pro or Davinci Resolve. I need my tutorials to have a beautiful touch and professional output. I was also told about Capcut. Please I need your take on this. Thank you sir.

[@kerwindavis9918]

Ok, I do not agree with that last hot take DaVinci resolve is very slow, very laggy on my MacBook Pro and I have my Mac deck out the program is comes to a slow crawl making almost unusable where premier I never have any these issues. I was going convert to until the program became unusable

[@dukecha]

Premiere Pro is like an old car that can still do everything and definitely slower. Da Vinci Resolve is like a newer and faster electric car with a learning curve. Switching back from the electric to the old car? No.

[@drakestorm4691]

Sorry, thats not true. Premiere is Premiere, DV is DV. Always matters WHO using, depth of knowledge etc. Both have andvantages and disadvantages.

[@Joe_Studioz]

90% of pipo capcut pro is the deal for every task 👌

[@VistarCreative]

I remember one time an acquaintance of mine said “it’s a poor musician who blames his instrument“. For the love of God, stop this foolishness and just create.

[@Clutchmillion77]

I agree. These videos are ridiculous. I don’t understand why this is even in my feed. This same guy just said premiere pro was better a couple videos ago. My advice to editors would be neither one of these are better than the next. They both have their pros and cons. Learn what you have, master what you have and quit watching videos like this. They are a waste of time.

[@devilorchard]

unless the instrument starts charging $19.99 a month and you don't own it.

[@VistarCreative]

@@devilorchard if you don’t think it’s worth $19.99 per month, you’re not using it right.

@@PremiumJutub you should be training in English and punctuation. A little embarrassing that I need to explain this to you but a tennis racket and a guitar are completely different things. If you’re wondering why you are no good at guitar it’s probably because you have a tennis racket in your hand.

[@Duda286]

- you can easily do fade me using vegas: xD so people get amused by thi- *_VEGAS Pro has stopped working_*

[@vladimirtalijan]

I totally agree, but Final Cut Pro is better than both for 99% of people watching this. It's not about how many features it has on paper, it's about how fast you can finish your job and nothing is like Final Cut for any kind of small production.

[@leninyoh]

You should add that FCP is Apple ecosystem only.
