I still find the edit page difficult at time and annoying on occasion but then again, every piece of software has its pro's and con's. Perhaps I want someone to talk me out of it, I don't know.ĭifferent strokes for different folks I guess. But the bottom line is, I don't enjoy the editing process like I used to, or need to, since I switched. I believe in the company and their strategy. I really wanted to like it and make it my NLE of choice. I feel I have given Resolve a very honest and conscientious go.

It's truly not my purpose with this post. I'm honestly not trying to ignite a platform war. The Cut page is just a waste of time and space, unless you're throwing together daily YouTube vids, and even then, FCPX is probably more intuitive, especially with their new AI dynamic formatting. Who would use subclips, when you can build a fluid clip management universe using keywords and keyword smart bins. I haven't found Resolve Edit page, or the logging process itself to be in any way enjoyable. In editing, most of the work is logging, media management, clip familiarity, speed of appropriate clip location, and building an edit organically, creatively, hopefully enjoyably. I have no need for Fusion, as I'm too old to switch from AE, but I get it for new users. I even bought the Editor keyboard.īut at the end of the day, Color and Fairlight are predominately finecut features - finishing processes. I have embraced the necessary paradigm changes - the return to a non-magnetic timeline etc, but I admired the presence of proper audio control, and grading, of course, is unparalleled. As an FCPX instructor, but a devoted BMD hardware user, I have given Resolve the best shot I can - learning it deeply using it on small projects then committing to a full documentary edit.
