Plus the standard version is free to use. Cons It's not quite as versatile as Premier that has a whole suite of software that you can transport media between Review Source Sean C. Video Producer Media Production Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Breath of fresh air for video project creation." May 28, 2026 5.0 Great value for money, fantastic choice for creating videos with and it is renown for being the industry standard for colour grading. Pros No other post-production suite comes close in terms of listening their customers and making features that are benefitting them the same way Blackmagic Design have done with Davinci Resolve. Cons Coming from Adobe, it can be a bit of a learning curve, but the value you're getting from it is hard to say anything negative about it. Plus the industry is still pretty heavy with Adobe so it can be tricky to work with edits that are being sent to other editors apart from sending them XMLs. Alternatives considered [Final Cut Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233399/Final-Cut-Pro/) Reason for choosing DaVinci Resolve I was considering moving away from a Mac and Davinci works with PC, Mac and Linux Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) On-going licensing very expensive and endless program crashes.

Administrative Assistant Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "DaVinci - An unexpected powerhouse" August 18, 2026 5.0 DaVinci Resolve is easy-to-use, powerful, and everything I was looking for. I began dabbling with color grading as well, and while a whole new world to me, it was fun to start to learn. Pros Everything is both streamlined, but also gives the ability for you to really get into the nitty-gritty and produce a quality project. All the tools needed are readily accessible. The fact that this product is free is mind-blowing - you definitely get your money's worth. Video Creation is a dream with DaVinci. Cons My only complaint thus far is the slight learning curve that is required in order to move from Adobe Premiere Pro to DaVinci. However, I've been learning fast, and there are plenty of resources to help you learn. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) It came down to price - Adobe was charging an arm and a leg on a monthly subscription, and I couldn't sustain it anymore. Review Source MB Mark B. Film Editor Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Davinci Resolve Editing" October 20, 2023 2.0 Frustrating. This was an opportunity for DaVinci to do something special by combining Editing with heavy VFX, Color Grading, and Audio Mixing in the same comprehensive package. Pros It’s either free or inexpensive depending on which version you use. If you buy, It’s a one time purchase, not using the “subscription model,” which I feel is exploitive. The ability to do color grading, VFX, and sound mixing in the same program is convenient, but not central to editing. Cons The basic editing functions, which should be very simple and intuitive, are unnecessarily convoluted and user hostile. Too many “modes” and keystrokes. A million things must be selected or de-selected to perform the most simple of functions. It really seems that either the editors who helped develop this program were amateurs, or ignored by programmers. Reason for choosing DaVinci Resolve To give it a shot. I may still use it for home movies, or maybe cutting a sizzle reel or two, but for a full on professional show, it’s not a realistic candidate. Review Source Bruno M. Marketing Executive Intern Automotive Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "DaVinci Resolve: The Subscription-Free Powerhouse Taking Over Post-Production" August 6, 2026 5.0 Overall, my experience of using the DaVinci Resolve software was overwhelmingly positive, as it enabled our team to create much more engaging promotional content for our company’s social media pages and website. It is a must-try for any Video Editor, regardless of their experience level, to be able to leverage the opportunities provided by this piece of software to get ahead in their career field, which is relevant to almost any industry. Pros I had the opportunity to use the DaVinci Resolve software as a Marketing Executive Intern for Hackett & Hackett International Group Limited. Indeed, the software has numerous advantages; for instance, its free version contains an impressive number of features that might be useful for professionals. Besides, the program includes a complete post-production pipeline that accommodates four pages, namely Cut & Edit, Fusion, Fairlight, and Colour, in one software. Furthermore, it offers powerful node-based Colour Workflow and other advanced Colour tools. Cons However, the software also has a number of disadvantages. First, it requires high-end hardware to perform, especially when editing and viewing high-resolution videos. For instance, in order to operate the software efficiently, one needs to have at least 16GB RAM. Second, it has a challenging learning curve. In addition, I noticed that the software uses an underlying Disk or Cloud Database to manage Projects, which is not convenient because of the potential Database Corruption risks and complicated migration procedures. Moreover, DaVinci Resolve offers not flexible enough Workspace Customisation and can mislead the user. Review Source PG Psalms G.

Plenty of screen space to utilize even on the iPad, very well designed. I like the fact that it is exact,y the same product for every device. All the functions are there. Pros Very well put together program. I use it often for my clients. Video editing on my iPad or laptop is seamless. The fact that the free version is still very powerful in comparison paid products including. The color grading tab is filled with lots of useful nodes, and fusion is cool for all the effects needed if you like nodes this the one. Projects are easy to see and create and the system is very secure. I haven’t noticed any glitching. Well written program. High performance and speed, I didn’t even experience any lag. I haven’t tried the customer service due to how stable the program is. Cons I wish you didn’t have to buy the software separate for iPad and laptop. There could be some new intuitive tools as far as UI design. Alternatives considered [Final Cut Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233399/Final-Cut-Pro/) Reason for choosing DaVinci Resolve It just fit better for me. The style and how easy it is to navigate,and find tutorials on it. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) It was a better fit. I like nodes and I like the overall versatility Review Source SS Savann-Andy S. Marketing Manager Construction Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Accessible and Industry standard " May 25, 2026 5.0 I'm very happy with the overall experience. I can see a clear improvement in my workflow and my work. Pros The flexibility in its colour grading through node base editing. Their new AI features making it easier to mask moving objects. Cons The Fusion tab is pretty intimidating coming from layer-based editing. There's definitely a learning curve. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) I switched because I was recommended from a friend due to their color tab. Review Source Shaun D. Producer and Host Entertainment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The Video Editing Software I Recommend to Everyone..." July 18, 2025 5.0 If I had known about DaVinci Resolve before I purchased a bundle of video editing software during COVID, I probably could have saved myself some money and headaches. Overall, DR is a remarkably well-stocked video editing and production tool with walls of features (even in its free version, which I use). The platform is stable and handles most production tasks I'd need for developing lecture videos, YouTube gaming and commentary videos, and video podcasts. It's the software I now recommend to everyone who asks. Pros 1) It operates on multiple levels, making it possible to learn basic video editing relatively quickly while leaving room for more advanced editing down the line. 2) It is a robust tool for project creation. The free version alone comes stock with more features than I could possibly use for my use cases. Additionally, while I haven't used them yet, there is a decent library of third party plugins that add more functionality and options for projects. 3) The DR community is extensive enough that there are enough tutorials for most common use cases of the platform that you can get a walkthrough of even its most advanced features. BMD also has a community forum and product support, though I have only used the former for seeking solutions. 4) A major bonus: the free version is a formidable piece of software on its own with many of the same performance possibilities as its paid sibling. While they could justify charging something for this, I think it benefits BMD to have a complete piece of software to ease in new users before they pay hundreds for the full service model. I prefer this model for software. Cons 1) If you want to do anything more complicated than simple or intermediate video editing, there is as learning curve. In fairness, this is to be expected, but it does make some of the more advanced features a bit daunting to approach. The workaround: there is probably a tutorial for the thing you want to do on YouTube. 2) Customizing the interface is, for me, not as intuitive (or, in some cases, possible) as I'd like. I've learned to work around it, though. 3) This is a minor quibble. The jump from DR to DR Studio (the paid version) is $295. It would be nice if there was an intermediate level for those wanting some of the more advanced features (such as captioning) but not the full suite that is best suited for film production. Switched from [MAGIX Video Pro X](https://www.capterra.com/p/196001/MAGIX-Video-Pro-X/) I ran into repeated issues with the interface and functions of MAGIX Video Pro to the point that I realize I would be better off moving to another platform. MVP worked for me when I was first starting to edit video, but once I needed a more streamlined approach and more features, I had no choice but to move on. Review Source Aaron C. B. Senior Pastor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The top video editing software" July 3, 2025 5.0 Overall, my experience with DiVinci Resolve has been positive and has enabled me to create videos every week with ease. There is a reason people are switching to it: it's easy to use, powerful, and cost-effective. Pros I have used multiple video editing software programs, and none have come close to the ease of use and power of DiVinci Resolve. I switched from Final Cut Pro due to the cost and because I needed something that works on both Windows and Apple Computers. This does it. I am very happy with this program. Cons Even though I love this program, I wish their sound editing were a little easier to use. This could be due to a lack of training in that area, but it's not as intuitive as I would like. Switched from [Final Cut Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233399/Final-Cut-Pro/) It is a better product and more cost-effective. I also needed a video editing software that I could use on my personal Apple computer and at my Windows work computer. Review Source MM Marco M.

Among my professions I also teach subjects related to audiovisual. The possibility of easily editing and having an easy view of the work makes it flexible. Even beginners learn. Working hours on this system I have also developed an easy dialogue between editing and color Pros Finally color correction and editing in a single pro option. Unlike competitors, the package here is really complete and easy to manage. Cons I would like to have a better system for editing audio.

Supports most video and audio codecs. Heaps of export options. Cons Some basic things are harder to find or are more time consuming to do, compared to Vegas Pro. Some videos and audio will fail to import without explanation. Switched from [VEGAS Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/196011/VEGAS-Pro/) VEGAS Pro's performance is poor, and the software isn't advanced enough for the cost. Review Source AD Alessandro D.

April 2, 2025 5.0 I am a videomaker and I find DaVinci Resolve to be a very complete software. I love how rich it is in functions and possibilities. It could be the best choice for both amateurs and professionals, who are looking for a powerful tool to create videos. However, the software requires a time to learn how to use it. It isn't simple if you don't have an experience with video editing software. Pros A lot of interestings tools, functions and effects, that every videomaker needs. Cons It isn't easy to use, and the user interface is hard to learn at the first. Switched from [Pinnacle Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/233263/Pinnacle-Studio/) I was looking for a more professional software and I think that DaVinci is the best choice.

No weird crashes, smooth playback with the system I have. Pros The stability of Resolve is why I switched to it. The Color Grading capabilities is 2nd to none. Cons I cant use my Red Giant plugins and that just sucks. It leaves the need for Adobe products. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) Premiere crashed a whole lot and had lackluster color grading capabilities compared to Resolve. Review Source PC Penisoara C. Photographer Photography Used the software for: 2+ years ### "it is a good video editing software for professionals" March 2, 2024 4.0 It's excellent for the more experienced editor and highly professional. The DaVinci Resolve free version is, in my opinion, fantastic. As a wedding video editor, the free version fulfills my needs. I use davinci for color correction, and after export, I can edit the clips in other software, a little more user friendly Pros it is a very good software for video editing, although it is a little difficult to use. But it does a quality job once you learn to use it. there is a free version that helps you with 90% of what you need . color grading is the best on the market Cons it is a little hard to learn how to use it It is a little less intuitive to use than other well-known film editing programs. you will have trouble with parts of the playback when editing if your computer isn't powerful enough.

September 15, 2022 5.0 I use it to integrate VFX and 3D CGI for small shorts, but some times I had to create medium length media and it's also a pleasure to work for these projects. Also in art schools I like teaching this software because it makes students feel like they progress fast on their creative solutions. It is not a class of teaching the tool, but a class of using a tool for media creation. Which is something that you cannot say of other software. Pros I really love how DaVinci is able to accommodate all kind of projects and workflows. Having professional-grade software ranging from free to full-paid with advanced options is a killer. This is very useful as the software to go for schools and students. And it can get as big as needed. The learning curve for newcomers is very fast, and I have only had some trouble trying to explain how a project media library differs from what you see at the OS file level. But nothing wrong or bad with it. Cons I think the interface may seem to be complex when you see it the first time, but the tutorials that come in the documentation make this barrier to disappear fast. Switched from [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) I like the way DaVinci makes this tooling really accessible for my students and hobbists.

Pros The free version of this software is almost 100% of the what the paid version offers. No watermarks or sly ways of getting you to pay. Simply great. Cons It has a learning curve, but nothing that is greater than any other software of this caliber. Alternatives considered [Final Cut Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233399/Final-Cut-Pro/) Reason for choosing DaVinci Resolve Price and the ability to use varying OS platforms. Switched from [Final Cut Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233399/Final-Cut-Pro/) I switched to have a device "agnostic" video editor that doesn't require specialized knowledge for each OS platform.

It has everything a $0 film maker needs to put their creativity into fruition. It gives small filmmakers like us a tool that professionals still use and that has never happened before. Minus the major movie stars, we're almost on the same playing field now. I've edited videos on it for 3 years and I don't think I'll be switching anytime soon- if I do it will probably be to the full paid version Davinci Resolve Studio. Pros Firstly, it's free. It has everything anyone would ever need to make a film. From sound editing to colour correcting, all the tools it provides are professional and easy to use. Did I mention that it's free? Another great thing about the software is that it actually uses your GPU. I also particularly like its trimming tools as I find that there aren't many free video editing softwares that give you the ability to make such precise cuts on a video. This is especially useful if you're a video creator who HAS TO cut 'that scene' at just the right moment else the whole film is terrible. Yes, I'm that video creator. Visual playback isn't too shabby either- it does lag sometimes but a feature called optimized media reduces that. Lastly, the thing I probably like the most is the endless options for editing the actual video appearance. You can zoom in on it, crop it, stretch it and keyframe each change to create an animated effect. Cons It's system requirements. The software needs AT LEAST 16GB of DDR4 RAM to run smoothly. I currently run it on just 8GB which is fine if you don't mind lag and random software crashes. Davinci Resolve also comes with the default settings for Autosave being off. I learnt that one the hard way. It also sometimes has problems with audio output, particularly when you use more than one output device (like headphones and external speakers). Sometimes it doesn't automatically change to the system device. Another thing I noticed is that, for some odd reason, it randomly outputs mono audio from a stereo audio file but this does eventually fix itself. Review Source KK Klavs K. Video Producer Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The best free and the best paid" October 15, 2022 5.0 I'm really fond of Davinci Resolve, it contains everything I need and I love the workflow of the program. Pros The fact that it's free to use and you get a free studio license if you buy a camera, is just amazing. But the main reason for using this product is that they update it quite often and I my system doesn't get breakdowns. Cons The audio editing in Resolve is not as great as it could be. BUT for me the video editing is the most important. Non-movable windows within the program. Alternatives considered [Adobe Premiere Pro](https://www.capterra.com/p/233456/Adobe-Premiere-Pro/) Reason for choosing DaVinci Resolve It's generally easier to work in Resolve with the Blackmagic ATEM recordings.

There are a lot of functions available in the free version and it doesn't feel like a big demo, it really looks like they just made the basic functions available for someone who just want to edit some videos with his family and the more advanced features that doesn't concern everyone, are reserved for the paid version. The app is fast and responsive even in low end hardware for 1080p that I use, I do believe there are a couple of things in the UI/UX that feel weird but seems like "this is how the pro video people are used to" so yeah I don't know how to feel about it. I mean if the people who pay you require the UI to be that weird, who am I to say "make it simple for me" eh? All in all there are a lot of tutorials that can help you get the results you want and the one off license system is a blessing those days. I hate subscription models and the cost for the paid version is not going to bankrupt you. Pros Even on the free version it is a very powerful video editor, and the paid version is not asking anything extraordinary. Also no Subscription is always a plus. Cons Learning curve is a bit step, at least there are a lot of tutorials out there to teach you what you need.

A great video editing software Pros Davinci resolve is not expensive, compared to other alternatives, this video editor gives us the software license and updates FOR LIFE, for a single payment, maybe the initial investment isn't cheap, but it will last forever. This video editor has been used in great movies and projects, so it will undoubtedly help us to create the best version of our final cut, this video editor also offers us the opportunity to use a downgrade version with the essentials to create good montages. Davinci resolve is an alternative that everyone should try at least once. Cons This being such a powerful software can have its disadvantages, Davinci is designed for video editing professionals, so it may be too much for you, if you are looking for a simple software, which only occupies to cut and paste video sequences, there are much cheaper alternatives that will meet what you are looking for, so I invite you to look for more basic video editors before buying this one.

Film Media Producer Entertainment Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A professional video editor" October 5, 2022 5.0 It's a top ranking video app but requires good understanding, usually used by professions. Pros This is a very sophisticated app but only recommended for professional editors, it is a complex app that requires fairly considerable time to figure out and a good understanding in both video and sound editing. It has features anyone can use in the media and film industry and even many popular films such as King Kong (2005) was edited with this program. It is great for professional video editors. Cons Definitely more time consuming to learn, many companies even have several people working different part of it, use as color graders, video editors, sound editors. This is a complex program to use just by one person. Review Source CS Cody S. Owner Photography Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Davinci Resolve free is all you need for most small to medium scale video editing projects" September 6, 2020 4.0 Pros The free version of Resolve is by far the most functional and feature rich video editing software out there. It beats out Adobe Premiere in the overall feature set you get, especially when you start to get into building effects in Fusion. Each update has helped Resolve take more advantage of powerful GPUs so when you're working with VFX you're rewarded by having a high end GPU during playback and rendering. The color modification options are rich and can do incredible things with your footage. You can easily take non-log footage and apply pre-existing effects and layers to get the look you want. Fairlight is their audio editing suite, which is how this application started out as so you can imagine that the audio editing tools are amazing, and they are. One of the most convenient tools is the ability for Resolve to use audio analysis to automatically line up multiple clips from different cameras that filmed the same scene. If you find yourself often using a clapboard to align your footage, say good bye (assuming you're capturing audio from each camera). The community of creators on Resolve is massive and you can find tutorial son how to do almost anything online. It's how I got started learning how to use the software and I'm still scratching the surface of it's capabilities. Cons The software is huge and cumbersome to learn. Luckily there's tons of tutorials on youtube from many creators that can show you how to do simple to super complex tasks. If you're moving from Adobe Premiere, you're going to miss the ability to import content from other apps directly inside of your project. Resolve doesn't support integration into Photoshop and whatnot so you can't go from editing an image in PS then open it up in Resolve like you can in Premiere. If you're someone who heavily relies on the Adobe apps, this will be the hardest thing to get past, but once you've adjusted your workflow it doesn't really add that much time to your projects. You're more so losing out on the convenience. In previous versions it had a tendency to crash randomly. Sometimes effects you create would go corrupt or prevent the project from successfully rendering or the Resolve to crash during rendering. This would require you to pinpoint what part of the video where the failure occurred, find the offending effect, delete and recreate it from scratch. This could be caused by something as simple as a scrolling text box. It was impossible to know what would prevent a video from rendering, which was super frustrating especially when considering the error message doesn't give you any info into what caused the render to fail. They've since made fixes to prevent this from happening, but just something to keep in mind when working in large projects: save often and test your exports. Review Source Abhilash C.

May 2, 2023 5.0 Video editing application that facilitates production with tools for color correction, visual effects, motion graphics, and post-production audio.Resolve is tremendous, and is fortunately separated into different 'Pages'. There's one to actually look at your 'Media', one more to plan and 'Cut' your recording, one more to 'Alter', despite the fact that you can likewise do altering in 'Cut'. 'Combination' allows you to collect and apply impacts to cuts through a hub based interface (it's more befuddling and less direct than how different editors work with enhancements, but on the other hand it's hugely strong). 'Variety', is where your variety evaluating happens, 'Fairlight' is for escalated sound work and control, and 'Convey' focusses on sending out your completed item.Regardless of not being a significant jump in rendition numbers, this cycle of Resolve actually packs a decent lot of upgrades, from the unobtrusive connection point change, to the huge in the engine execution improvements.
