I then started on Resolve 9, trying to figure out what's really missing or not in the Edit panel especially. I knew I had to change for a couple of reasons that are off-topic here (mainly Apple terrific communication, lack of roadmap and poor FCPX in its beginning). Information you're looking for is what I looked for 2-3 years ago, so I can understand your concern and this is why I write here now.Īnyway, I'd been cutting on FCP7 for years and years, for destinations like web, tv, theatres, DVDs (commercials, shows, ITWs, reports. NLE's functions compared to something like C4D are minimal and I can't imagine that having to re-train oneself to memorize a couple of dozen functions and keyboard shortcuts would take more than a couple of days. Each and every one of those apps has their own individual keyboard shortcuts and it's really not that big of a deal to memorize most of them.

I think the key is to make sure Resolve can do what you need it to do for your particular workflow.Īs far as memorizing keyboard shortcuts - sorry to sound smug about it but come on! In my average work day I will go from Logic Pro X, to Pro Tools, to AE, to Mocha, to C4D and to Resolve. If Joe Editor uses function Z on AVID or Premiere, and that particular function isn't available in Resolve, then it's obviously a deal breaker. I think that for several things that I needed to jump into AE to do, I can now do that right in Resolve with great results.īut, as I said, it depends on individual needs. The new FX included in 14 are IMHO right on par with a lot of the Red Giant and the Boris FX plugins. I already do a great deal of CGI compositing right into Resolve and I simply can't imagine doing it any other way. Resolve 14 is also blurring the line between NLE and VFX. Perhaps if someone is doing a lot of reality TV, or Documentaries I can see Resolve lacking some of the script sync/dialogue recognition thing that AVID does, but for 90% of editors' needs I think it's all in there. Granted, everyone's needs are slightly different. I came from FCP 7, then switched to Premiere, and finally ended up on Resolve. For me, it's the best NLE I ever worked on.
