#DAVINCI RESOLVE TRAINING ON WINDOW PC PRO#
Resolve looks super good mostly because of the way it's packaged but VEGAS Pro basically covers 2 of the main pages, and another is basically available as a free download. Desktop and Laptop)? What CODECs do you Ingest or Export? etc. What do you use it for? Your hardware? How mobile are you (if you use multiple PCs i.e. It also has some massive performance issues with a lot of 3rd party OpenFX plug-ins.Īt the end of the day, I think it comes down mostly to situation and preference. Resolve requires a hardware investment to view video fullscreen on a second display. It can import 10-Bit HEVC (GH5, Galaxy S10). VEGAS has QSV Decode Acceleration, and Encode Acceleration on platforms (Intel, Nvidia, AMD). Cineform and HQX are trivial to add to VEGAS Pro. Resolve does have DNxHD/R support, though. for Audio and Stills), and can render ProRes on Windows. The difference is largely in convenience - like "using After Effects with Premiere Pro instead of Final Cut Pro X" type of convenience. You can easily plug this into a VEGAS workflow. The Resolve version does have a few more features, but I don't think it's enough to matter. Fusion 9 is still free, and Fusion 16 didn't really do anything but GPU Accelerate more Tools. Its design as a finishing platform is why it has those insane GPU/VRAM Requirements, after all.įusion is mostly a wash, IMO. the extent to which it drives up Resolve's system requirements. Likely won't be shooting anything but 8-Bit Won't be shooting LOG or RAW (I don't want to hear about FiLMiC Pro or Moment.) Won't be color correcting or grading on a Reference Monitor I think the Color aspect is overrated on a subreddit like r/VideoEditing, as most people here: Where Resolve wins big is in Media Management and Metadata handling, as well as Color Correction/Grading. VEGAS Probably gets a slight nod for editing because it matches most editing features in Resolve, but has a far more flexible timeline (Track Grouping, Compositing, etc.).ĭon't think I need to talk about how good VEGAS is at mixing Audio. Resolve and VEGAS Pro are basically a wash for Editing and Audio. Probably won't be a better experience than Resolve, but it is nice to know your way around and have access to multiple editors in case of unstable build.
#DAVINCI RESOLVE TRAINING ON WINDOW PC SOFTWARE#
Some people/companies want you to edit on specific software/only have certain software available, and being able to pickup another editor easily would be beneficial if you ever need to transition to another software or are required to for a job. Diversifying your editing portfolio is also not a bad idea. I would give it a try, for only $30 why not? Especially if you are curious. Vegas has been around longer and for me is much much more stable than Resolve, considering I cannot even get more than two clips into a project before Resolve crashes and loses everything. The r/VegasPro subreddit is fairly active and more often than not someone can help you out, free resources are dumped there from time to time. Plug-ins are plentiful and some are even free. That being said, Vegas has a wealth of tutorials online for just about anything and everything. Some features are not user friendly and the interface can seem a little lackluster and less flashy than its competitors (seems like a dumb criticism but man is it nice to see some colors when you edit for hours.) Spent a good year and a half learning it, still learning new things, but no matter how much you learn Vegas will always feel clunky. I learned on Vegas after getting it from one of these sales and having never heard of Davinci Resolve.
