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. > > I'm very happy with the overall experience. I can see a clear improvement in my workflow and my work. ----- ### "Davinci Resolve - Excellent, effective and easy to use" — 5.0/5 > **Aaron** | *August 25, 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Davinci Resolve is not only some of the best color correction softwear, it also allows you to edit video in the same style of software you may already be familiar with. 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 > > Overall I think it's a great, inexpensive peice of software that pretty much covers all my video editing needs ----- ### "As good as Adobe Premiere" — 5.0/5 > **Mitch** | *February 5, 2025* | Food & Beverages | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It was perfect and just as good as adobe premiere honestly > > **Cons**: It can be difficult to insert or upload footage without a watermark ----- ### "Amazing Video editing software" — 5.0/5 > **Anonymous User** | *November 19, 2024* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Color grading, Audio Modification and Video effects and transition. > > **Cons**: Sometimes lags too much and slows editing process > > Best video editing software helps in color grade, adding video effects ----- ### "DaVinci Resolve: The Subscription-Free Powerhouse Taking Over Post-Production" — 5.0/5 > **Bruno** | *August 6, 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/209733/davinci-resolve?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/209733/davinci-resolve) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
