Premiere Pro vs DaVinci Resolve // Should You Switch?

[@itz_zayyynnn]

As a da vinci user, you can use layers as a text. It is not obligatory to use fusion. Fusion is like after effects. You don't need to go to fusion when you are doing basic editing.

[@tonk82]

I was going to say this...

[@Professional-workstation]

Yes - exactly right. Fusion = AE and nodes are so much easier for this kind of work.

[@crypticaledits]

yeah you can just add the color generator and turn down the opacity then add a text on top. You can either keyframe in the inspector tab to animate the size of the text or add a transform node in fusion for more options. Fusion is not necessary

[@Outlanderwow]

Thats we need the most right? :D

[@shang1905]

im my case using same 4k clip in Premier it can play back smoothly at native resolution，but in Resolve the play back is kind of choppy even when i lower the timeline resolution and play back resolution and use 1/2 timeline proxy its still choppy，i have to use optimize media to make everything smooth，but it takes time and storage space，dont know why its like this because on internet almost everyone says Davinci is smoother than Premier，and my hardware is still good enough i think（r7 5800h rtx3060 laptop）so i really dont know whats the problem here

[@stevenjamesofficial]

@@shang1905 What codec are you shooting in? I have heard before that the free version of resolve on pc doesn't support HEVC(h.265). I have no idea if that's actually true, I made the switch to a Mac a couple years ago and never looked back : )

[@billythecat]

@@shang1905 are you using the free version of Davinci Resolve? Note that the free version doesn't support hardware decoding/encoding for h264/h265, that feature uses your GPU to take give you smooth playback and speed up rendering. Only the paid version has it and it does that better than premiere. That's why people find Davinci smoother and faster than premiere. But even without that feature, your laptop should play any 4k footage smoothly..so strange

[@Meisenpai69]

As a learner I feel it's harder to learn DaVinci because of that fusion and farlight things

[@rano12321]

@@Meisenpai69 foundations are complex because they are more powerful and flexible than adobe's counterparts. You are not gonna be beginner forever, once you get passed the beginner stage, you'll start to see the power and realize why adobe stuffs are not used in big budget shows and movies. Resolve is not a beginner friendly tool as it's geared towards professionals working in the movie and tv industry. So if all you wanna do is edit super basic videos, you might be better off using something else.

[@ZekeStudiosFilms]

When I started editing, I was 11 and I made some simple goofy vids in iMovie. iMovie is great for learning super basic editing, but it can't do much else. Interestingly, switching from iMovie to DaVinci Resolve is decently easy, since iMovie happens to actually borrow a lot of mechanics from Resolve. Sure, iMovie is not a proper editor, but is a great way to just get into the idea of putting videos together with music and text.

[@amero3577]

@@rano12321 I just started learning editing 3 days ago with davinci. I think the scene edits, cuts and text is very simple. You can learn it in about 25 minutes. With my limited experience I think the most challenging part for me is the animation side of things. Apart from the preset animations, I don’t have a clue how you tell the software the elements you want to animate a certain way. Colour editing seems simple enough but it’s the damn nodes and any fancy animation that gets to you as a learner

[@fitah47]

I’ll be that guy. Resolve is better and it’s not even close. I edited in Premiere for 7 years and then switched to resolve at v16. Best decision I’ve ever made as an editor. And yea, Resolve my “crash” once in a while but it’s much more like a “freeze” and is extremely rare. Also since Resolve saves with literally every click, when it does freeze and restarts it’s nowhere near as catastrophic as Premiere. It just pops back up and you’re literally exactly where you left off. No stupid prompt like in Premiere where you have to duplicate the project and save a new version somewhere on your computer with a new name. Resolve is soooo much more stable.

You can definitely use the “text” or “text+” effect in layers on the edit page in DaVinci to do the same thing as far as text and a solid color overlay. That doesnt necessarily have to be done in Fusion.

[@TransformXRED]

I find it very annoying to see so many of these "comparison" videos always missing the most basic stuff, and effectively misleading people. It shows how little they care about the subject... They do zero basic research... You would think that people who want to speed up their editing workflow would learn about the software BEFORE doing a comparison videos.

Resolve definitely has a slicker UI! I want to change, but I’m so fast on Premiere after all these years. Adobe has a few cool features I use a lot: auto-reframe and subtitle generation. They’ll get more powerful with AI.

[@Bellaire_Isaac]

DaVinci Resolve literally has both of those. Plus if you ever find yourself rotoscoping or wanting to place text behind a subject, DaVinci Resolve has Magic Mask. It uses the neural engine to do ALL the rotoscoping automatically and is such a powerful tool. I started with Resolve and don't use nodes or fusion on a regular basis. The only space I use nodes is in the colour panel and that is really simple. Think of it like stacked adjustment layers that are just 10 times more powerful.

[@pxlmvr7]

I’m a veteran editor and started using Resolve in 2014 alongside Premiere as a freelancer. By 2018, I was done with Premiere because the hidden capabilities of Resolve are INSANE. Im currently doing compositing for a feature film with tracking elements and rotoscoping and every time I look for a solution, I find that it is already integrated into Resolve! The more you explore, the more blown away you’ll be … and I’ve been editing for 30+ years.

[@ByDezoy]

What are the best hidden capabilities in davinci?

[@nikolaoscharalampidis8120]

Interesting info

[@rano12321]

Might be unpopular opinion, but nodes are one of the reason why I switched from Premiere/AE to Resolve/Fusion, as pretty much most professional VFX is done with node-based software. Resolve, Nuke, Fusion, Maya, Houdini, Mari, Flame etc. just to name a few. Also, once you go nodes, there's no going back, after learning and using nodes everything else will feel super unintuitive and slow. It's funny because almost nothing is layers based outside this Adobe-KZbin-indie realm. Nodes work logically so you can build very complex effects with basic logical foundations and control the order of operations which is crucial for complex effects, and you wouldn't be lost since you can get a birds eye view of everything you have done with nodes at once and can go back to any stage and make necessary changes without hunting down a million pre-comps and these are just a few of the hundreds of reason why AE is not used in pro VFX studios but Nuke or Fusion or Flame.

[@chopsuey004]

What are nodes

[@h1dden4lyfe]

popular opinion

[@discovery7]

That's reason I'm using fusion rather than AE, if you know fusion, you've learnt 90% Nuke automatically, AE best for motion graphics I mean that's what it made for but not industry level vfx software, I was doing green screen keying in AE, the reflection on skin so hard to deal in AE you have to use third party plugin, where as in Fusion just few nodes, as you said all industry leading software are node based 😊

[@rano12321]

@@discovery7 Yup exactly, learning Nuke made me give Fusion a try which actually made me switch to Resolve +Fusion, although I'd say Fusion has a lot of tools for motion graphics, very much comparable to AE and sometimes better that Nuke lacks.

[@aravindsanjeev4150]

I just started DaVinci and the nodes were just familiar because I use Unreal Engine. I didn't even realize node vs layers since I never used after affects. I have to ask about your experience creating motion graphics in DaVinci? Is it better than AE? Like creating 2D animated videos?

[@avdpost]

Not sure if you have explored power bins, but I find for reused assets I vastly prefer using powerbins over opening other projects now. It's great for storing reused assets, animations, fusion effects, and even pre made fusion based adjustment layers. Very powerful. Also keep in mind, in Premiere if you apply a transform lut before doing basic edits in the same lumetri panel, you are clamping down you dynamic range a lot before making those adjustments. If you put the transform lut inside the creative panel in lumetri it will take place after basic adjustments, so you still have access to all the exposure available.

[@kimeriksson7445]

Power bins are amazing for this!

[@terr20114]

For the simple motion graphic stuff, text overlays, and what not he described at 9:56 is 100% just the same in davinci resolve. The edit and cut pages are layer based editors with adjustment clips, overlays, transitions and effects like every other editor, You don't need to touch fusion for many things. A loose rule you can use is "if you don't need after effects to do it with adobe's suite, you don't need to touch the fusion page in resolve." This is true for most cases.

[@zorrozorro5992]

The problem of needing an image editing and graphics software, can easily be resolved with alternatives, like affinity's software. Besides that photography plan is really cheap if someone needs it apparently. Personally i am in a learning curve to da vinci, cause of the lowest amount is needed for the paid version. Once time fee gives freedom to have reasonable prices for your services, though not all our customers have huge budgets.

[@generic_stiles]

as a 3d animator, and nature photographer, ive been using nodes and layers for years, honestly nodes most times are more orderly, layers can get quite confusing with all the back and forth, but with nodes there is a steady progression towards the result, so you can just leave a desired amount of space between effects to organise them better, i have not used resolve yet, but if you can create node groups then its obviously a better way to go

[@canobenitez]

how old is the node paradigm? older than leyers? (I mean in computer programs)

[@VeganLinked]

It feels odd that you state DR is easier and then go into how much easier PPRO is at 08:50.than dealing with the nodes. The nodes may have turned me off completely from DR... then you go into talking about integrating other projects in PPRO and how "super super simple" it is in PPRO. And then you gave DR a point for "ease of use for beginners" after essentially saying PPRO is more intuitive and easier with layers? And sure, DR is "better" for color grading. But, doesn't that really only matter if you're maxed out with PPRO's options and shooting raw or 10 bit 422 and slog etc?

Concerning copying projects please explore power bins in resolve 😅. You'll be shocked. Concerning layers and nodes most industry standard software use nodes for VFX work (that's why they use nodes for their VFX). Nuke, Maya, Houdini etc all use nodes. By using nodes in fusion, you're already into industry stuff. And you well know that nodes are more powerful than layers. For easy stuff layers may *seem* simple. But when things get serious layers just fall off.

[@romanmrozek]

I switched from Resolve to Premier Pro after 7 years. And I personally think, that creaters are trying to convince people to switch just for content and money. Premier has a much better integration with other programs such as photoshop, illustrator and the best ones are after effects and audition. This is something, what improved my editing skills to the whole new level. Premier is so much advance but I always colour my clips in resolve. About speed the resolve is faster in raw playback but when you pre render some stuff, the premier is absolutly winner. In 4K the nativ playback is faster in Premier and the best feature is the Media Encoder becaus the quality in lower bitrate is so much clearer and faster than resolve.

As a beginner in editing, I actually found PP SIGNIFICANTLY easier to navigate for the basic stuff. And the learning curve for colorgrading to be SIGNIFICANTLY steeper in Resolve. Perhaps I'm biased coming from a fairly proficient background in Photoshop so a lot of concepts and terminology translated directly to PP. But Resolve was definitely harder for me. I am starting to see weaknesses in PP colorgrading though, so I will probably eventually make the switch. I've got a couple friends in the professional industry that said something similar.

Great video! While nodes may seem new they’re not. And they’re amazing!!!! They give you power and flexibility that layer based workflows just can’t. This becomes super apparent when you get into 3D graphics and vfx. One of the most used tools is Sidefx Houdini. The reason why this all seems so new is because people aren’t used to using fusion but learning nodes will give you Jedi force level capabilities. Especially when using more powerful tools such as maya, fusion, and even blender and yes blender is industry standard and big as well as small studios are switching. Another powerhouse is renderman by Pixar. I would highly recommend that everyone working in film should learn nodes. Blender is free and is compliant with the vfx reference standard as is davinci resolve so it’s a great idea to learn nodes.

18:28 this. I would love to adopt a 100% Davinci workflow for all the reasons mentioned in this video. I use it for personal projects. BUT, for my job, I work with multiple editing houses globally alongside designers, photographers, and illustrators. Adobe Libraries, Pr/AE Templates, everything is just easier to coordinate in Adobe CC when scaling production with a larger team. The dumb reality is that IT and the people who approve software feel warm and cozy with Adobe, and that's what's generally approved and paid for. Isn't corporate fun???

[@arghyaprotimhalder5592]

I am a beginner tbh i download both tbh i liked divinci it was extremely easy to learn and understand, more features for no price, it have everything you need all in one.

[@BarefootMediaTV]

I started using premiere pro in 2004. Other than the 3 years final cut 7 was the best ive stayed with premiere... I am currently doing davinci training videos and ready to make the switch.

[@RelaxedMind101]

dont make the switch and regret bro.. within few months with adobe updates davinci will sink. Still premiere is very user friendly and easy to use and its plugins are crazy . davinci just cool for its name.

[@spicymusicpiano]

@@RelaxedMind101 Your comment shows that you have no knowledge of Davinci :)

[@spicymusicpiano]

I was working with Adobe for 8 years and I regret that i was lingering so long to change PP for DR. Now I love editing in davinci :)

[@RelaxedMind101]

@@spicymusicpianostarted 1st 2 years with davinci bro lol.. got so fed up and then changed to pp.. theres no comparison even between these two porgrams. adobe is the industry leader for a fact. shows how you dont know anything about pp and its features

[@spicymusicpiano]

​@@RelaxedMind101 As I wrote I was working on PP for 8 years so I know Adobe very well. PP is industry standard? Doing video fot internet ok, but cinema or TV? How many hollywood production was done by PP? Adobe was boasting some 2 or 3 movies :D In TVs standard is Avid and davinci and less and less PP and FCP. Look (even on YT) how meny peope are switching from PP to DR. And how many videos about from DR to PP? Two? Three? :) I will never back to adobe. I don;t need more crashing, waiting for importing media or project, fighting against trying to do good tracking and switching to AE or AA to do something else. Just only work on timeline is more comfortable and faster (almost like in Avid) than in PP. But I will repet - if you know DR well and all the functions and features:) I will not evet say that adobe is on market for so many years and Adobe still can't get PP to use GPU for 100% as Davinci. It's some absurd in soft for working on graphic...

[@sirtobias]

As a graphics designer and video editor the adobe suite is definitely better but if you’re solely a video editor then switching to davinci makes the most sense

[@TheRightWealth]

hey are you a video editor can you guide me about how to get work as a video editor.

[@JosephMyLife]

I have had multiple crashes over the years with Adobe. The last one, I lost a ton or work, I moved to Davinci and after learning it, I love it. I tried to go back to Adobe later (for 360 vr) and couldn't... Nothing made sense and it felt like I was back in the 90's. And using Davinci's keyboard... I can never go back to Adobe.

[@pen1208]

this is deff my opinion and a technical correction of the above video. Davinci uses whats called a node tree. All 3D software, such as, Blender, Unreal Engine 5, Maya, Houdini etc...all use NODES/Node tress. Yes, in default, it is right to left in Fusion. However, one can simply make it vertical/layered...if preferred. I feel nodes are easier/more intuitive as I am not forced to put "layers" where the software wants them to be. I can place a node "anywhere" and connect it to anything at anytime I want to in order to change something. Nodes create a larger set of customizations. Basic effects need a small number/basic nodes. Which means, you don't need to place an affect on something and change a bunch of things to get "the look" you want. One node does a specific thing and you change that specific thing and it won't change your entire project in turn. Just that one node. A "text" node is text only. It wont change anything other than that text. Background node is...well...you get it. The background only. LOL. Once these are understood, it is pretty fast. Just set default to vertical if one wants the "layer" look to the node tree. Keep in mind the "tree" part of "node tree" One can branch out a specific part of the tree if one wants to really customize "one part" of the project. There are great vids and the manual, believe it or not, is great explaining nodes. PS, just try stuff too. You won't break it. HAHAHA. Control Z saves lives. HAHAHA There is NO CONTROL Y. Don't think CONTROL Y is "redo" CONTROL Y is "soften" or "lighten". Can't remember off the top of my head. Redo is i think shift, control, z. The manual has all shortcuts and one can set defualt the keyboard to premier pro shortcuts if one wants that. One can set the default keys to whatever they want to as well. Then Davinci has the hardware. Game changer. Don't even need the keyboard. They are a tad pricey, but Davinci resolve STUDIO comes free with ALL HARDWARE, including their cameras and links and such. All hardware. They have a really nice 300$ mini quick editor unit that I LOVE and came with DaVinci studio free. If you don't like the unit, just sell it and you basically get DaVinci studio free from selling the edit unit on ebay or something. Just make sure to put "software license not included with unit" in your description or additional info when selling to make it legal and all.

I was interested in learning video editing a few years ago when I began my journey with the Adobe premiere Pro pirated version cuz I couldn't afford to buy an authentic version. It crashed my computer every single time I clicked on the icon. Finally I purchased a new laptop the first software I installed is Davinci. I just started learning davinci and it's already very easy and simple to use even though my laptop is mid ranged powered by ryzen 5.

[@janek7358]

10:10 in DaVinci you can put text over your timeline same as in Premiere, but when you want to customize it more and do special effects it is just better to do it in fushion page

[@ranjithgaddhe9818]

No need to switch premiere is better in other features .. but davinci color correction is so good but noise removal and playback in second monitor is not available on free version so i say no need to switch completely

[@Jonathan-zg3sc]

You can pirate the studio version so its basically free

[@VeganLinked]

I must be so use to PPRO that I just can't understand how someone can say DR is easier to learn. I WOULD LOVE to get away from PPRO because of cost and update issues. But, I just HATE the DR interface. Perhaps I could customize the DR interface and keyboard shortcuts and not feel this way. But, I haven't see how to do this. I wish there was just a button I could click in DR to make it's shortcuts and interface more like PPRO.

[@jamesellis3571]

Excellent content but 'that music' became like a pebble in my sock at about 15:55. I'd suggest lowering the volume ratio vs mic input. Otherwise excellent.

[@dougmacmillan1712]

This was helpful, I think. Though I'm a long time Adobe user, I've been looking hard at DaVinci Resolve because of its color grading abilities. There's a couple of other factors in play. My wife is a college professor and she has the educational discount on the Adobe Suite. However, she'll be retiring in a year and I'm afraid our discount will go away just as our income is reduced. Furthermore, I'm really intrigued with Dehancer. If I get it, I would have had to decide to either stick with Adobe or go to DaVinci. There are still photography software that is giving PS and LR a run for it's money. They, like DaVinci, aren't subscription based. Decisions! Decisions!

[@huzair83]

you actually can use davinci resolve just like lightroom with the color page and export straight from the color page out.

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

Had so many issues with the latest premiere pro. Several versions had issues with the text video editing then recently I had a few versions struggling with the playback issues. They fix one issue with an update and break something else. I'm getting annoyed and looking at davinci more and more but it'll be a big jump

[@ssj3nikoli302]

10:07 mark I dont think you know how or tried to use Davinci resolve cause what you say can all be done on the edit page with your timeline visible by simply putting a text on the layer above your video file just like you did in Premiere pro. Yes you Could go into Fusion if your trying to make your life difficult for no reason. Anyone jumping into a program that is new is confusing and for me Davinci resolve seemed a lot more user friendly.

[@MrGrayDog]

I think I would use Premier Pro more but I have been having an issue signing in to adobe where it just infinitely loops and people have said the only way to get rid of that is to clear almost all of your data in your computer.

[@AWC-Gaming]

I have been using davinci for some time now (the free version) and it has never crashed in both of my laptops. I would also recommend this for beginners as it feels easier to use and organize.

[@Panda.mp3]

You can also layer the text in the timeline in davinci

[@mynamesplatinum]

The nodes is exactly why DavinciResolve is so captivating 😃 Blender also has nodes, Unreal also uses nodes for texturing- I’m sure that there’s a million game engines which incorporates a node system in some way. As a *CASUAL, AMATEUR* Blender user myself, the Fusion system makes a lot of sense to me!

[@kensonplays]

I personally use DaVinci Resolve studio, and affinity photo for my photo editing. Does 100% of what I need personally.

[@abdaullahsheikh-gn7od]

thanks 👍👍👍

[@JooEunShin-w1z]

For anyone who has worked with animation or 3d modeling or rigging, I think using nodes is so much easier

[@felixkinanga4637]

No thank you. Am not switching. Am fine with premiere.

[@heavydremer8716]

Thank you for this video. I was considering da vinci resolve to cut costs. This gave me alot to think about before switching.

[@cure7398]

As a new video editor, which software would you recommend to learn? I use capcut for editing and now want to upgrade my editing skill. I edit talking head video (short and long form)

[@KebunH]

While nodes take a little while to learn, they are much more convenient than layers imo. Layers are inherently one dimensional whereas with nodes you can have multiple 'pipelines' simultaneously, which becomes really messy when bunched together and displayed as a single stack of layers.

[@Tamajyn]

I use the resolve colour tab to edit photos too. It's so much more powerful for colour than photoshop if you're not doing any kind of effects and has full raw support

[@vincentking4618]

I get adobe suite for $20 a month as a student, but I started using Davinci before I got suite and I still love it. I have the free version though so I can’t use all the features. It basically boils down to what videos you are making. If you are making basic gaming videos or regular vids the only need basic motion graphics and effects then Davinci is great for being free. If you are a student and want to make more higher end content with more features and effects, it might be worth getting suite as it comes with photoshop, after effects, premier pro, illustrator and other stuff that can help you create whatever you wanna make. I make lower end content right now so I use Davinci, but I am definitely pursuing a better understanding of adobe so I can make higher end content.

[@mukisaelijah12]

Amazing video! I don't know why I didn't watch this sooner it's just been sitting around in my playists, definitely the best comparison video I've seen ever on these two programs and I'm not making the switch and finally I don't have to feel like I'm getting left behind ..thanks so much for putting this out TFM team❤👊

[@Avenenon]

Importing media of larger size in premiere pro(say 50gb) will take 5-6 minutes to just import and then it will take time to load thumbnails also like 2-3 minutes more Whereas in davinci you can do the same in less than 5 seconds with thumbnails Edit: Also about crashes , premier pro definitely crashes a lot and it's auto save is nothing compare to Davinci's live save which is a life saver if let's say your computer switched off due to some reason even then you will not lose any progress in your edit you will begin from where you left This is enough of a reason for me to switch to Davinci resolve

[@snigdhoroy1510]

About the node, well, you can use layers too on DaVinci, especially for a simple title like that one, but it won’t be good enough for everything. 10:12

[@CalebTheSojourner]

14:35 Hows he just gonna slip this in here without elaborating....Im trying to hear that stuff

[@stennythomas3994]

Im enrolled with you guys and love the content. A couple things I would note though is that the numbers you’re citing for resolve vs Adobe SEEMS to be for all of adobes products vs Davinci resolve only. I’m not sure if that’s correct, but it would make a difference in an apples to apples comparison. Would also say that premiere is industry standard for SOME things like KZbin and perhaps smaller production companies BUT not for color grading in Hollywood or higher end production. It would obviously still do the job but isn’t really typical. Would also make the case that Avid is still seen as fairly standard in that realm as well from what I can gather.

[@TallyTalwarOfficial]

Used Premiere for 15 years and switched to Davinci, Kicking my self for not switching earlier. The switch is tough initially, but over time Davinci feels much better.

[@spicymusicpiano]

I'm kicking myseft for that too :)
