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.

[@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

[@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?

[@PHANTAZMA]

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.

Hi matt, can you please make a video on how to use a teleprompter but appear natural?

[@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.

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.

I have watched a lot of videos on this subject. More or less, each of them is correct as this one as well! The only thing I could argue is the smoother interface. I don't see DaVinci no near close to Premiere. Sorry, but it is true. 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.

Is this good for wedding video editor ? we have to work with different cameras which also have longer lengths.

[@beninua]

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. 🙂

[@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)

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.

[@officialcisko]

Color panel is the main reason I made the switch.

[@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.

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 🙂👌

[@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.

[@beninua]

Another excellent thing that sold me on the consistent interface was the fact that after switching from THe Full Adobe package to DVR I had to learn a lot of procedures from scratch. Not the concepts but how to achieve them in DVR. When I started using Adobe 5 years ago the huge challenge was that I had customize my layout the way I wanted it, so when I watched people on KZbin explaining a specific funtion or how to achieve something specific in Premiere or After Effects, they always had another layout than I had, and I had to constantly translate their menu clicks and tool selections to my interface and where I had put the same functions or if I even had the same panels in my view. So I ended up having saved 5 or 6 different views, to compensate so I had some go-to views I could use when trying something presented by one of the large providers of Adobe tutorials. Now I can watch any tutorial in DVR from any of the many providers of good content, and their interface always look exactly like mine - with a very few exceptions. That has really made the learning curve much less steep as I don't have to sit and look for the menus and buttons used in the explanatory video. That is outright brilliant, and has made my journey into Resolve so much quicker.

[@BrawlArena]

How long did it take you to get the hang of it? I'm thinking of switching, but it would all depend on if I'd have enough time to learn DVR.

[@beninua]

@@BrawlArena it was surprisingly easy. One of the great points - that had previously deterred me from switching - is that the interface is a bit more locked on the panels, but that proved to be a huge advantage while still learning because the community out there is humongous and when watching some how-to video on KZbin you'll be able to recreate that in your own production as the layout is so easily recognizable. And to be fair. It is still quite flexible and you can move around the walls between panels to suit your needs. In Adobe I sometimes found myself spending hours tweaking my interface by moving around small info panels, inspectors, control panels, viewers, etc. I've never missed it once in DVR as the interface is already so neatly organized. And the tabs in the bottom that separate the functions are a Godsend. This really makes the worflow so manageable. All professional NLE will have a learning curve, but coming from Adobe many of the terms have similar names and it doesn't take nearly as much effort to ease into a new NLE when you've done it before. One piece of advice I always offer. DVR offers an option for previous Adobe users where they basically set up the keyboard macros as they were laid out in Adobe. DON'T! For two reasons. The most important reason is that you will have different shortcuts than those mentioned in all the free online tutorials so you will not know where the short cut mentioned in some how-to video or online tutorial is located in your setup. The second reason is, that if you are just the least bit like me you have tweaked and switched around your short cuts in Adobe to suit your own needs anyway - so making DVR work like the default Adobe setting won't do you any favors anyway. Side note: Besides many of the most used shortcuts are the same in DVR and in Adobe. So it's not entirely new. And I have already tweaked the shortcuts in DVR to fit my work flow anyway, so I will set up my own preferences anyway. Best of it all. Now that I have the full studio package for a one time fee only there is no end to all the wonderful plug-ins I can buy from Boris FX, Motion VFX, Neat Video, endless VST plugins for your Audio. I've never before allowed myself to spend so much on professional titles, stock libraries, audio fx, huge transition plug-ins, macro repositories, and so much more. I can do so much more than before and I'd say that although I am not just as proficient in DVR as I was I Adobe yet, my general production output rate I at least 40% higher than it was when using Adobe. And I love that I don't have to cycle back and forth between Premiere, AfterFX, Audition, etc. And I truly love not to have to use external sound post processing in 99% of my cases as the sound tab in Resolve is delivered by none less than Fairlight, so it is almost a complete audio workstation too - built into the interface. And it is more robust than anything I've ever tried. As a matter of fact it had a few crashes when I started out, but it is as if it tweaks itself to my hardware as time goes by, because after 2 months or so I hardly ever see crashes in DVR. People are of course different backup I can only say I never regretted it. Oh - and by the way: The proxy workflow is by far the most intuitive I've ever tried. You can set it to automatically geberate proxies for all clips you drag to your production folders or your time-line, and your editing is lightning fast, and when rendering your final result it automatically chose the large original media files for export ("Deliver" in DVR) I can only say - I will never go back.

You should edit in 1080 , and deliver in 4K

[@EriveFilms]

On MacBook now. Came from PC and never had crashes. That's beside the point.. Id rather take a crashing Da Vinci over a fully working premiere pro.@@ge11erth

[@markarnold8308]

I would really understand your workflow, headware setup (SSD's, how clean(app wise and working RAM/HD space) your pc/Mac is, etc), finally understand working space, timeline resolution, viewer resolution and export resolution.

[@burlacustudio]

I was tried to move in davinci but I can't 😁

[@godsfilmmaker8863]

FCPX isn’t sure if that’s a beat down or a hug at the end of the video 😂

[@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.

[@arranmc182]

DaVinci Resolve is the better one for me as it works on my more Operating Systems, I use Linux alot and DaVinci Resolve while not Open Source is still one of the best video editors on Linux even if it does lack some features available on Windows & Mac.

[@mortystation]

7:42 That's a good take but 30fp is still too consistent. I would say that is like a video game that is reaching 60fp 30% of the time, the rest of the time is struggling to get 52fp, with those fps drops that are so annoying and made you... yeah, I guess you got it.

[@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 🤚

[@Avierfilms]

idk whats goin on but w premiere its just way more laggier

[@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!

[@NicolasMiract]

edit vertical video in a horizontal monitor is imposible without customizations

[@Nrde]

I think the more obstacles for those the better 🙂

[@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

[@Psyclonus7]

It's the video that cancels out the other video and vice versa.

[@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.

[@EriveFilms]

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

[@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.

[@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?

[@alessandrociampi1811]

premiere is more intuitive and easy for me da vinci without a hard training is impossible to use

[@chrisv5386]

Agree, I just tried to goninto Davinchi and that shit seems even harder to Learn than pro

[@Zherebtsow]

both programs are good, but all reason is totaly trash. Only Color reason make sence, but not so often cos probably all instruments in color are same, The difference between Node or Layer system, you will feel in not so much projects. And near Never you will feel it on simple youtube videos)

[@dougsheltonds]

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

[@danieljabczynski]

@Adobe Do something.

[@JRMOWorks]

First reason so far its an con for DaVinci. Not custom menu? Premiere is better in that

[@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.

[@ivanvasilev2903]

Here's a like - in spite of the clickbait

[@haljordan1575]

Anybody that tries to trash Premiere Pro really be bugging.

[@JorgeBarrionuevo]

yep, premiere is a ps4 slim and davinci resolve is PC RTX 3080.

[@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.

[@tomaslogue1609]

Over 24 hours trying to export a video on PP, definitely canceling my subscription. Brutal

[@floridaman2214]

Resolve is really bad at using resources. If you're not running it on an absolute beast of a computer, it's not a good experience.

[@WuxingGaming]

Only Premiere pro 🙂

[@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.

[@ancilm]

I'm a bit bored of this argument. You use what works for you. I have multiple ungoing projects in adobe premiere and I don't have the luxury to switch on a whim whenever I have a crash (which almost never happens).

[@AhmedQais999]

But Final cut is better

[@jonathanjones4566]

If you love paying monthly subscription fees, nothing beats Adobe.

[@fourlokouva]

Let’s face it, Adobe’s products are not user friendly, are overpriced, and outdated. Sincerely, Scorned Adobe User

[@Cruzan9]

😂

[@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]

this is crap i train table tennis and racket is 80% of the game bad racket and you will never ever win

[@VistarCreative]

@@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.

[@officialcisko]

Oh, and Resolve is cheaper in the long run

[@segura455]

Ppl don't like DaVinci because is free lol.. they wanna pay for Subscription

[@peterkortvel]

Magnetic timeline :D :D horrible :D

[@BuzzChronicles]

dont take advice from youtubers who make money from pumping out videos

[@zpcinema_weddings]

Hey Matt, I think you had a big imagination when you made this video!

[@LaviiiiishPrince]

People dishing out their preferences as facts. Stop yhese dumb contents already. All these are all pro editors. If you can make any cintent that can't be remade on premier then i'll agree with you. Smh. Resolve is playing catch-up and Adobe on their part has made updates to get features you mention about resolve like the fade. Obviously the version of premiere all y'all be comparing are already outdated

[@DriveLapseCA]

davinci resolve saves my wallet. Stupid adobe!!!

[@KIDICARIS]

This just sounds like he's a sell out .he took the money made a video .end of the day. Premier pro is better. Butt moving forward .your a sell out ..

[@EriveFilms]

premiere pro is trash

[@KIDICARIS]

@@EriveFilms hey he took the money

[@isaacbedford3644]

How is premiere better with its subscription pricing, buggy performance, and clunky workflows?

[@Nrde]

Does this mean that using Premiere you pay Adobe, using Resolve Blackmagic pays you... 😀

[@peterturner6497]

One thing I would like to ask is why is it that people seem to ignore Final Cut Pro when FCP is faster - better and easier to use for about 90% of applications than Da Vinci Resolve... I mean that is just a fact. Admittedly the extra 10% of really cool stuff but why is anyone still using the other one? I mean it really is not worth mentioning by name but you all know what it is called. I noticed that you can export from Da Vinci Resolve to Final Cut Pro from the delivery page and that is really cool. It is pity Apple doesn't seem to return the favor.

[@legosus69]

only reason i switched because premiere pro no longer supports my gpu for some reason

[@my2cents198]

Adobe 😂😅😂😅... still ripping people off and getting away with it

[@derucore]

I love to practice davinci resovle but my Laptop won't cooperate 🥲
