Filmora vs DaVinci Resolve: Which is a better fit?

Syed: Hello, my name is Syed. I'm a freelance YouTuber and I'm a graphic designer as well with Anay Traders, and I rate Filmora four out of five. Well, I primarily use Filmora for editing my videos. And it is super easy for me to access it because a couple of options in the Filmora are actually really good to use and super easy to use for me, and I'm generally using for editing purpose. The best thing about Filmora is the effects which I'm using to create my video on another level. The first thing is the transitions which Filmora provide with the paid version is actually extraordinary and it gives super depth to my videos. And I could say anyone, if you are not a professional graphic designer, you can use it, you can learn it in 5, 10 minutes, and it's super easy to use. I don't see anything where I need to change anything like that. A couple of updates will provide me more flexibility in the effects, but so far it is doing great for me, and I would love to see more transitions in the package.

Elijah P.: My name is Elijah. I am the CEO of Active LCC and I give DaVinci Resolve a four out of five. I considered using Adobe Premiere Pro. But I did switch from Clip Champ by Microsoft. I chose Da Vinci Resolve because it was free and it came with a lifetime amount of updates without having to be purchased. It comes with so many good features, like tons of audio quality changing. You can do so much with audio, the video. You can do things with color spectrum. You can key frame. You can do all of that for practically no money and doesn't give you a watermark or anything. You can export it to all kinds of different videos and it's just really good quality for a free editor. Getting started for DaVinci Resolve was pretty difficult because there was so much stuff that you could do and it's just hard to learn to begin with if you are going in completely blind. But if you have a little bit of editing knowledge from other software like Adobe Premiere Pro or some other very complicated editor, you should kind of know what you're doing. But there's just a lot of adjusting that I had to do and there's a lot of features that I had to watch tutorials about, which you can find online pretty simply and otherwise, that's pretty much it. I recommend that you should have at least a lot of past prior knowledge. If you just think that, oh, I'm going to try editing one day and you instantly start with Da Vinci Resolve, you're going to be completely overwhelmed and you're not going to know what to do and you're just going to burn out and run into tons of issues. But I think you should start with a simpler editor, kind of like Open Shot or a Clip Champ, something with really simple controls, basic stuff and then DaVinci Resolve is a very high end, high capability editor, which you should go to after a long time and a lot of editing experience.
