Excellent software. I am really sorry that I didn't find it earlier. I was stuck with sluggish/buggy and overbloated Pinnacle Studio. When I have learned that Resolve Studio is free I couldn't believe.
I am using both free Resolve and Resolve Studio version on two computers. If you are prosumer than the free version is everything you will ever need. Really!! I have bought the software in Studio version because I wanted to donate them money for what they did.
The program is not easy for beginners. That is a fact. It seams easy but to work effectively you must learn the concepts of how you are supposed to work on each tab page. But once you learn it is a real pleasure. I gave only half of the stars for ease of use BUT this is not against the software. It's a fact: you have to adapt to a new workflow but you will not regret it. Especially I really recommend learning the keyboard based workflow with all the available keyboard shortcuts.
The writers of this program really did take into account work speed and ergonomy. You can go very fast through tons of footage (using fast review mode), quickly do basic cutting and then fine tune it in edit / fusion / color and fairlight (sound) stages of your work. That is very well thought of. And very effective.
And when I learned that you can automatically clean up afeter editing (delete unused footage, move used footage to different drive etc) it simple blew my mind. I always wasted a lot of time managing the media.
Compared to Pinnacle/Avid/Corel Studio: it simply works. Do not crash, renders files correctly, projects do not become unusable etc. And has more refined functionalities in the places important for the quality of final movie (like color management, sound fine tuning) instead of overbloating with unnecesary functions.
Compared to Adobe: you are not forced to pay taxes to Adobe till the end of your life. You get the software for free or pay once and you own the software till the end of your life!!!!! If you will want to edit something after 20 years you will be able to do this. Without paying extra money to re-render your footage.
