Dear friends - and moderators: would it be possible and/or advisable to start a subforum for DaVinci Resolve? I note that there is a Edius subforum, where the last thread was started more than a year ago... not very active. Meanwhile, I suspect that more and more folks will gravitate to DaVinci Resolve, and I expect that it will be a subforum that's more active than several subforums already established (Edius, Vegas etc.).
I came here to ask folks about their impression of Resolve 16, and I didn't see a subforum, hence my inquiry re: subforum. But be that as it may, moving on to the matter at hand:
My experience is the FCP series, and I never made the transition to X. But now I'm slowly gathering resources for a project I want to shoot, and of course post is part of that, and the key question of the NLE choice. I figure it's time to move off of the legacy FCP, and I've narrowed it down to either FCPX or DV Resolve. Given the prices, there isn't much difference (about $150 difference) between them. But that's not the key. Basically I'm interested in your experience. There are definitely things I like about Resolve - it's crossplatform (so I'm not stuck exclusively with Apple hardware), and BM seems really aggressive about evolving and updating Resolve. Apple seems to rest a bit on their laurels. Also, it goes without saying that CC is going to be a strong point for Resolve, but much more important to me is sound - and it seems (am I wrong?!) that FCP is really subpar here, and I don't feel like investing time/effort into Logic; whereas Resolve seems aggressive in the sound department too, so if they're not a whole lot better in sound at the moment, they'll soon be, while I don't have much confidence Apple is moving with any speed there.
In any case, for a small indy feature, what do you see as far as FCPX vs DV Resolve 16? I guess I could buy both and try them out, but my thinking is that I'm time-limited, so I'd rather invest my time/energy in one NLE rather than do a half-a$$ed job with two, which won't give me a good comp unless I master both which I don't have the time for. Learn one, but learn it well.
What's your take? TIA!
