Honestly, though, as a sound designer myself, while Fairlight in Davinci Resolve is pretty good, I would just use a DAW software for the sounds. I absolutely love REAPER for it. Multiple clips layered in one track, effects per clip as well as per track, dynamic cuts, auto silence cropping, etc., just make it super efficient. Of course, learning Reaper will be a whole new project without a doubt, but it could prove useful. Give it a try sometimes! 😁
@danielisapinto841 Yes, it can. It can even edit videos if you don't want to learn a video editor. Stuff like cutting, fades, basic chroma keying, adding texts, etc. If you decide to sound design on Reaper, I suggest using the Frames timeframe to make the work easier.
Just had a lot of snow on my mind I'd say. Plus I haven't made a video with snow quite yet so it was definitely different for me. Thanks for watching Jeff!
Loool! I would start bitching if that happened to me too. I used to use Vegas Pro before. I think it was an amazing product when Sony had it? I think it just got buggier and buggier after Magix bought Sonic Foundry (around v15). I still feel like the audio clip problem could've been solved - maybe it had something to do with the sample rate or something. But I'm sure you tried all sorts of things. Anyway, hope Davinci Resolve gives you a better time. I've been using it for a few months and have had no problems. I did have some power issues, but it went away after I replaced the PSU with more watts. The best thing about it is definitely the separate editor for each set of work like Edit, Fusion, and Fairlight.
Oh for sure. Magix hasn't done the best of jobs. But I was comfortable and it was reliable. While I tried Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premier CS6 while in college, I always found myself leaning back to the Sony Vegas series. Since I started using Davinci at work during late August I found myself more and more comfortable in it. Once I got it at home it was like jumping into a car I've driven many times. So far I'm liking it a lot more. Normally if something goes wrong it's mainly use error on my part until I get the results I am looking for. I'm no audio engineer but I am learning more and more these days. Haha. Thank you for wisdom and input. Perhaps some day I'll dive out of fairlight to try your other recommendation.
Davinci sound like a great program I might need to get it later on as well. Better then Sony Vegas, and Adobe Premiere because I hear a lot of bad things about those two. I just wish they can fix it.
It's a program I'd highly recommend. You can basically download it for free to try out and have access to like 90% of it's features. The studio version is mainly for professionals who are making money off of it or need the extra features. I do wish Vegas and Premier would fix some of their issues though.
It's gotten a lot better. But I also know it's not for everyone. Thankfully there a lot of different video editing softwares to use instead of Premiere if you needed to. Resolve takes a powerful computer in order for it work and also doesn't work well with Macs either. So I understand where you are coming from.

Love how it starts and ends with you reflecting on the gentle snowfall as it accumulates! Doing a great job, man!!

I tried Resolve about 10 times during the past 5 years, but no. It's just as cumbersome and illogical as Premiere.
