Elijah P
Founder and CEO
4.0

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.

Francois L
president
5.0

Speaker 1: Hi, I'm François. I'm the president of my company, and I give Doodly a five star, or five-finger rating, because I use it for my training session. Well, I started using Doodly when I saw the ad on the web. I have never used any other similar product, but I thought Doodly was just a way to do it. I had seen those Doodles advertisement in the past, and I thought this was so difficult to create. And then I discovered Doodly and my God, I can do this too. So I started using it and it works. The one thing I hate about trying new apps is the learning curve. I just can't stand learning for hours and hours. And with Doodly, well, the learning curve, it goes like this and then it's like this. So it's really, really fast, really easy to learn, and the results are amazing. So, that's amazing. Well, I strongly recommend Doodly. I have absolutely no talent in drawing and just using the pre-designed drawings, as long as you know what you're shooting for, as long as your scenario is in your mind, well, Doodly will help you create it. So it's a very strong recommendation because the results are just awesome.
