Davinci Resolve 20
Not long ago, filmmakers and content creators had to subscribe to multiple programs like Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, or Final Cut Pro from different companies to get the job done. But the industry has shifted, thanks to fierce competition and innovation. One tool that stands out is DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic Design, a pioneer in making filmmaking accessible to all.
Resolve combines video editing, motion graphics, colour grading, and audio design into one powerful package, eliminating the need to switch between apps like Premiere, After Effects, or Pro Tools. And the best part? It’s free! While there’s a paid Studio version, the free version is more than capable for projects up to 4K resolution
Reasons why you need Resolve than Others
1- Powerful Free Version: DaVinci Resolve offers a highly capable free version that includes most professional-grade editing, colour grading, VFX (Fusion), and audio post-production (Fairlight) tools. Premiere Pro only offers a paid subscription.
2- Industry Leading Colour Grading: Resolve is renowned for its advanced colour correction and grading tools, often considered the industry standard. Many professionals even export Premiere Pro projects to Resolve just for this step.
3- All-in-One Workflow: It integrates editing, colour, visual effects, motion graphics, and audio post-production into a single application. This means you don’t need to switch between multiple programs (like Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Audition) from different vendors, streamlining your workflow.
4- One-Time Purchase for Studio Version: While there’s a free version, the Studio version is a one-time purchase, offering a cost-effective alternative to Adobe’s subscription model, which can become more expensive over time.
5- Robust AI Tools (Studio Version): DaVinci Resolve 20 introduces powerful AI features like IntelliScript for automated timeline creation from scripts, AI Audio Assistant for mixing, and advanced Magic Mask for object selection, which can significantly speed up repetitive tasks.
So the choice is up to you if you have worked your whole career with other industry software, then it will not be an easy choice to switch, but if you are starting your career and you want something well-rounded and capable which will not put stress on your pocket then Resolve is a blessing for you.
