You can’t really love a program, and, thanks to the number of other options, there’s no value in actively hating one. The Editor/NLE relationship is a complicated one, a thing of wild highs and lows that fluctuate on a project-by-project basis, often in relation to creative energy, technical aptitude, and client attitude. However it all sounds-silly, biased, whatever-it’s where I was. At the same time, I couldn’t shake the feeling that Blackmagic Design (as a company) simply cared more about its customers. I was feeling less and less enchanted by Premiere due to Adobe’s pricing structure. When I looked at these three things all together, there was definitely, for lack of a fancier word, a vibe. The Third Thing, filed under “R” for Real Talk: After the pandemic put me out of a job, the monthly Premiere bill started taking a toll. When you purchase a Blackmagic Design product, you get Resolve Studio for free. While watching those finely crafted tutorials and reading those in-depth articles, I found myself appreciating and becoming curious about Resolve’s capabilities as a do-it-all software. The First Thing: As a long-time writer for the blog, I was exposed to Lewis McGregor’s many Resolve musings. Really, though, my choice came down to three things. How I was evolving beyond Premiere, growing as a colorist, and wanting to expand my horizons. I could wax poetic here about how and why my needs weren’t being met. Why Did I Make the Switch? The answer’s in the question. If so, then hopefully this look at my journey will give you a pretty good idea idea of what to expect should you ever decide to make an NLE change. I’m certain many of you relate to this self-assessment. But, either way, I treat every day as a chance to get a little better. Some days I feel a bit above average, some days a bit below.
In fact, what I am is a perfectly average video editor. Ultimately, as an experience, it’s been both thrilling and humbling.īefore we go any deeper, though, hear me out-I was never really a Premiere Pro Expert™ to begin with, nor am I currently an expert at DaVinci Resolve. At the same time, there is much I miss about Premiere. As you’ll see, there are things about Resolve that I can’t believe I once lived without.
It’s been about a year since I made the leap from Adobe Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve, and now I’m ready to share some hot, steamy takes.
Here’s everything I’ve learned about switching to a new NLE-the good, the bad, the unexpected, and the humbling.
