### "The best Free Software for Color Grading ."

May 31, 2022

5.0

At first I had difficulty learning the program, but after practice I learned how to use the tools correctly, and the most important thing I learned how to correct colors professionally.

Pros

The most important thing I loved about Da Vinci Resolve is that it is free and I can use it for several uses, but my favorite use without any comparison is color correction, you won't believe me how powerful it is in color adjustment and correction, I can modify the colors of my videos now as we see in the movies, it really is Very nice I know there are many programs out there that offer color correction benefits, but none quite as professional as Da Vinci Resolve. Believe me, DaVinci Resolve is currently competing with paid programs with a high strength of its features such as video editing, adding colors, removing noise, adding echo and some other effects, it accepts importing subtitles from other programs.

Cons

I think the only problem is that the user interface is complicated, so if you are a beginner, get ready to invest your time and effort to master the program and use the tools.

### "Davinci Resolve is a powerhouse tool in the video editing fraternity. "

September 30, 2021

5.0

This a the best video editing software for me. Davinci Resolve has got a well structured workflow, from adding media, to editing it, to adding and modifying Fusion effects, Color grading, a variety of video transitions, Open FX plugins. This software is a real gem.

Pros

The advantages of Davinci resolve is that its always being updated to a higher version, which makes it ever relevant in the game. I really liked its abilty to combine multi cameras or combining several videos into one. Color grading is very easy using Davinci Resolve. It has so many video editing tools which are user friendly. Its user interface is very modern and sleek. I can also edit my audio in Davinci Resolve and it has 3D sound effects. A wide variety of transitions and effects enables me to produce quality videos. Resolve is not difficult to master and use. Above all, the software is free and can be upgraded easily.

Cons

Davinci Resolve 17 requires a machine with a bigger working capacity. Sometimes it just crashes and you lose your work. Sometimes rendering takes a lot of time if your machine has a low capacity. However, all these challenges are most common in the unpaid version only.

Reason for choosing DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve helped me take my videos to the next level!

### "Uno de los mejores editores que existen"

March 7, 2023

5.0

Un excelente editor que sencillamente no te dejará decepcionado con la gran variedad de herramientas y los hermosos resultados que puede ofrecer.

Pros

Me encanta la gran variedad de elementos que puedes escoger para editar tu proyecto a tu gusto.Al igual que los resultados tan profesionales que puede ofrecer.

Cons

Creo que es un software que no llega a ser tan sencillo para alguien que apenas estan intentando empezar a editar. Creo que deberia de mejorar en el aspecto de ser mas intuitivo con las personas nuevas.

### "Calidad Cinemática, nada mejor."

May 12, 2022

5.0

Es increíblemente completo, útil y su calidad es lo mejor. Si eres productor simplemente es lo mejor que existe para producir videos de calidad cinamática.

Pros

Es robusto, completo, puedes editar todos los aspectos de video, luz, contrastes, colores, escenas, máscaras, todo absolutamente todo puedes corregir con este software. Su poder de procesamiento de video es sin igual, su interface es muy amigable y es tan completo que no necesitas plugins de terceros. Sus correcciones de audio y edición de audio son completisimas haciendo que no necesites un software especializado de audio.

Cons

Es muy robusto por ello necesitas un equipo con muchos regursos gráficos, ram y HDD.

### "Davinci Resolve...there's no other choice"

June 13, 2023

5.0

Absolutely fantastic. It can edit, design, and create alsmpt anything you can think of and for the best price in the industry.

Pros

It's the most bang for your buck, its user friendly, it has a vfx studio built in with the Fusion tab, it has a full audio editing tab, and all withing the one program for only $299. It's outrageous that anyone would even think of using something else.

Cons

I wish the customer service as a bit more widespread and easy to work with but I've only had one experience and it wasn't because they weren't responsive, it was just the response was asking me to do code related stuff and It didn't make fixing the issue very easy but that was also 3+ years ago

### "Literally the best, and for free"

December 19, 2023

5.0

Resolve is the best video editing software on the market hands down.

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.

### "The simplest yet most powerful professional video edition software"

September 29, 2022

4.0

I came across DaVinci Resolve in early 2020, during the pandemic. As an amateur musician and video editor I was able to produce very decent videos in less than a couple of days using phone video takes. The vast offer of tutorials and effects make it very easy to create nice results with minimum effort. Still use it. I don't regret have made the switch from Adobe to Davinci.

Pros

All in one. Easy to use, Intuitive, professional tools and effects, vast library of tutorial material on the web Up and running in hours.

Cons

It is very difficult to me to find something that I dislike so far.

### "Tan absurdamente potente y económico que no dejo de recomendarlo"

December 23, 2022

5.0

Una herramienta completa para editar vídeo, sencilla de utilizar y a un precio mínimo (o incluso gratis). ¿Qué más se le puede pedir? Me permite editar más rápido y con más facilidad que antes, y se la recomiendo a cualquiera que busque un nuevo programa de edición para su negocio.

Pros

Tiene una versión gratuita increíblemente completa. Pero es que además es mucho más intuitivo y sencillo de utilizar que la mayoría de softwares de edición. Se lo recomiendo a cualquiera que busque editar vídeos a un nivel profesional sin necesidad de tener los conocimientos de un experto.

Cons

Como todos los programas de edición, tiene su curva de aprendizaje. En el caso de Davinci, hay algunas funcionalidades que son diferentes a las de Premier, Final Cut, así que al principio me costó acostumbrarme. Por lo demás solo tengo cosas buenas que decir de esta herramienta.

### "Un programma eccezionale, gratuito e potentissimo"

October 19, 2023

5.0

Uso DaVinci Resolve per creare video che pubblico online. Non sono un videomaker professionista, ma DaVinci Resolve si è dimostrato uno strumento perfetto per le esigenze di un principiante, pur nascondendo al proprio interno una quantità di opzioni che lo rendono particolarmente interessante anche per utenti più esperti.

Pros

Potenzialità illimitate per funzionalità preinstallate ed installabili, interfaccia pulita, possibilità di inanellare più funzioni per ottenere risultati professionali senza troppo sforzo

Cons

L'interfaccia un po' macchinosa per un utente novizio, soprattutto finché non si impara ad usare le varie scorciatoie da tastiera che espandono incredibilmente le funzionalità più intuitive.Molti effetti sono sbloccabili a pagamento, anche se in realtà quasi sempre replicabili gratuitamente (a patto di spenderci più tempo).

September 22, 2022

5.0

La pipeline di produzione di video per i social ed il montaggio di riprese di conferenze si è accorciata, rendendo molto più semplice il passaggio dei file

Pros

Blackmagic ha costruito un prodotto che distrugge tutti i paradigmi creati dagli altri editor video non lineari e lo ha fatto con estrema semplicità d'uso

Cons

Il processo di trattamento audio è potentissimo e super intuitivo per chi ha mai lavorato ad un mixer analogico o digitale, ma è assolutamente ostico a chi non ha mai maneggiato l'oggetto mixer.

### "Very heppay with this amazing video-editing software "

August 19, 2021

5.0

Very good. I very much enjoy working with this software. Once familiar with the software (at least the parts that I use), it's proven to be the optimal video-editing software for me. Also, I very much like the sound-editing functionalities with the standard embedded effects in it. Now, I can do video and audio in one single program which makes it a lot easier to build a project.

Pros

All I need for editing my video's is in Davinci Resolve. I can edit op to the frame, which is exactly what I need. Also, all settings (that I use either way) are editable with numbers. That makes it easy to copy settings and values. Those were the main reasons for me to use Davinci Resolve over other products like Camtasia.

Cons

The learning curve can be a thing. I definitely needed some time to get familiar with the software. But it was worth it. Also, I needed a pretty decent computer for smooth editing of my video's. So , that might be somewhat costly for business starters.

### "The BEST VIDEO EDITING SOFTWARE Money Can't Buy- IT'S FREE"

October 13, 2020

5.0

Overall, I love it! 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.

### "A Comprehensive Video Editing Solution"

October 20, 2023

4.0

Pros

DaVinci Resolve has been an invaluable asset in my part-time gig as a YouTube tutorial video creator. Whether I'm editing, color correcting, working on audio post-production, or creating stunning visual effects, DaVinci Resolve has my back. Even when handling high-resolution and complex video projects, it consistently delivers exceptional performance. The fact that a free version with robust features is available is a massive bonus for someone like me on a budget. Moreover, DaVinci Resolve supports collaborative work, allowing me to work effectively with my team and fellow creators. Its extensive library of tutorials and a thriving user community have been invaluable resources for my learning journey.

Cons

While DaVinci Resolve is a powerful tool, it can be resource-intensive, requiring a high-performance computer to fully leverage its capabilities. The learning curve can be quite steep, especially for newcomers like me, who are just starting their professional video editing journey. I've encountered occasional stability issues and crashes, but the software's regular updates have been addressing these concerns. It's worth noting that some advanced features are exclusively available in the paid Studio version, which may necessitate an upgrade for specific functionalities.

October 15, 2022

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.

Absolutely love it. I use it in editing all the videos I post on Youtube and the quality is very impressive

Pros

Easy and excellent video editing tools Fusion is amazing for creating different effects The free version is far better than many other paid video editing software available online I also like that I can download it on my system and access it anytime without an internet connection Export as mov , mp4 or even to youtube direct should you want

Cons

It is quite heavy, and can consume your system resource. Takes a bit of getting used to as a result of the many functions and tools. So you will need to take a couple of hours to learn how to use the software.

April 18, 2023

5.0

A free software with mind blowing features that help any one edit, trim, resize and then export high quality videos in multiple formats. It does need nothing like training or courses except for previous knowledge on how to add photos, audios, animations; you feel like a movie maker!

Pros

Davinci Resolve offers a stunning dashboard that help both beginners and professional edit their videos at ease. Its rich audio library, baffling scenes and animations made it a stand alone free software.

Cons

Of course, its built-in features and variety of functionalties, which are free, made it hard to load sometimes. It needs at least 64 bits and enough memory. Something else, few integrations or third party plugins.

### "The best of both worlds.....amateur and professional video work"

May 27, 2021

5.0

My experience with Resolve has been 110%. Around Resolve, I have been able to develop myself into a professional video creator to earn a second stream of income. And all the feedback I have ever gotten from clients about work I have done with Resolve have been positive. Finally, considering I have only worked with free versions over multiple updagrades, I really have nothing but praise.

Pros

Da Vinci Resolve is an extremely comprehensive product and offers an unbelievable range of utility and functionality. What I found most amazing was how intuitive it was. Unlike other professional video software, you don't get particularly overwhelmed on your first attempt if you've only previously worked with amateur software. The interphase is neatly designed to tuck away all the advanced tools and features just within reach as you progress, but not so upfront that you get overcome. Also, for a program whose free version far outperforms paid versions of its competitors, the amount of guidance resources and free tutorial material readily available is awesome.

Cons

The installation process can be quite tedious. They could improve it by automating the entire process. Available plugins for additional features could also be better packaged. But honestly, compared to how great the product is, I feel like these minuses are quite petty. Haha

### "The most comprehensive product for video editing and color grading"

February 4, 2023

5.0

Davinci Resolve is an all-encompassing piece of software that offers users an array of powerful tools and features. From color correction to audio mixing to compositing, this software provides a vast range of possibilities for filmmakers and videographers.Aside from its technical capabilities, it's extremely user-friendly and encourages creativity amongst its users. With plenty of tutorials available online, users can pick up the basics quickly and start playing around with their projects in no time at all.

Pros

What I appreciate about Davinci Resolve is its simplified yet powerful interface. As a long-time user of another competing software, it was quite refreshing to see how easy it was to get up and running with Davinci Resolve. With just a few clicks, I had access to all the tools needed for professional-quality videos such as color grading, audio mixing, and advanced effects. The fact that Blackmagic design took the time to make their software so user-friendly really impressed me.

Cons

Switching from one video editing software to another can be a daunting task, especially when faced with the complexity of Davinci Resolve. Despite its many features and capabilities, getting used to the different interfaces takes time and training. For new users, it may not be so intuitive at first glance. However, with patience and practice, users will begin to understand how this powerful program works. The design is well-organized thanks to its various menus and layouts that allow for easy navigation throughout the timeline. It provides extensive tools for color correction which allows editors to tweak colors accurately in order to achieve a desired look or feel for their projects. Overall, Davinci Resolve offers an array of options that give users greater control over their edit process but it does require some adjustment before you can start using it effectively.

### "Davinci resolve the best video editing software so far "

January 14, 2023

5.0

I love davinci resolve it's worth a try for all content creators who wants a clean cinematic video edit. It's just an all-in-one app. Using templates makes it a lot easier and there are bunch of free templates on the web.

Pros

I love the color grading feature it's the best i have seen so far. It makes my video look cinematic and have this professional look, the features are cool and easy to use if you have knowledge of video editing. Great for editing bad footage and audios. You can download free templates from the web and use to fasten your work.

Cons

It crashes sometimes but i think it's because of the compatibly with my laptop. Davinci should consider creating versions for lower systems.

### "The BEST free video editing suite"

May 16, 2022

5.0

Pros

There are many pros to using DaVinci Resolve, including its ability to handle high-resolution footage, its conformant handling of RAW files, and its support for a wide range of editing software. Additionally, the software has a robust set of features that allow it to be used for numerous tasks in post-production workflows. The most important thing is that it's a FREE full-fledged suite of tools for video editing.

Cons

There are only a few cons to using DaVinci Resolve, the most notable of which may be its price tag (for the Studio version of the software). This software is also not as user-friendly as other editing options available, so it may take a bit more time to learn how to use it effectively. Additionally, DaVinci Resolve is only suitable for professional usage and does not have many features geared toward amateur editors.

Fusion Page is practically an other software (compositing software) for VFX, Fairlight Page the same (a complete audio solution) and Delivery Page a semple, clear export function. I showed it to other professionists and ALL af those switched to Resolve. Oh.. and it's Cross Platform (even on Linux!!!)

Cons

not for all, or maybe... NOT for all amateur... it has a particular learning curve. Especially for Project Management. It need a High performance machine... especially GPU.
