To that end, I wanted to see if the benefits of replacing Premiere Pro with Resolve would outweigh the drawbacks. For many editors, it could disrupt their workflow enough to be a dealbreaker. And Adobe Premiere integrates tightly with other apps, like Photoshop, that are less easy to replace. Still, switching apps for something as complex as video editing can be terrifying. It also has a deep set of tools for HDR, color, FX and audio, along with fast exports and other benefits. And while Premiere Pro CC seems to get slower and buggier with every release, Resolve 16 has become cleaner and snappier. Resolve 16 is quite an improvement over the last version, especially when it comes to ease-of-use. To start with, Resolve 16 is free, and even the $300 Studio version costs less over time than Premiere Pro’s obligatory monthly plans.

Plus, Fusion is dramatically faster and Fairlight adds immersive 3D audio.Since Blackmagic Design’s Resolve 16 came out last year, a lot of video editors may have been tempted to ditch Adobe Premiere Pro CC. Adjustment clips let you apply effects and grades to clips on the timeline below, quick export can be used to upload projects to YouTube and Vimeo from anywhere in the application, and new GPU accelerated scopes provide more technical monitoring options than before. DaVinci Resolve 16 features a revolutionary new cut page specifically designed for editors that need to work quickly and on tight deadlines! The new DaVinci Neural Engine uses machine learning to enable powerful new features such as facial recognition, speed warp and more.

When you’re on a tight deadline, you can count on DaVinci Resolve to “just work!” For audio, projects can easily be moved between DaVinci Resolve and ProTools. Deep integration with Fusion makes it easy to send shots out for VFX work, or you can roundtrip with software such as After Effects. You can use XML, EDLs, or AAF to move projects between DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer, and Premiere Pro. With all of the different workflows and systems out there, you need a post production solution that’s compatible and open enough to handle anything! DaVinci Resolve has been designed to work with all major file formats, media types, and post production software.
