As a da vinci user, you can use layers as a text. It is not obligatory to use fusion. Fusion is like after effects. You don't need to go to fusion when you are doing basic editing.
yeah you can just add the color generator and turn down the opacity then add a text on top. You can either keyframe in the inspector tab to animate the size of the text or add a transform node in fusion for more options. Fusion is not necessary
@@static_TV123you may not have gotten it from the official site or got a fake version of the studio version. make sure to get it directly from Blackmagic
@@Meisenpai69 foundations are complex because they are more powerful and flexible than adobe's counterparts. You are not gonna be beginner forever, once you get passed the beginner stage, you'll start to see the power and realize why adobe stuffs are not used in big budget shows and movies. Resolve is not a beginner friendly tool as it's geared towards professionals working in the movie and tv industry. So if all you wanna do is edit super basic videos, you might be better off using something else.
When I started editing, I was 11 and I made some simple goofy vids in iMovie. iMovie is great for learning super basic editing, but it can't do much else. Interestingly, switching from iMovie to DaVinci Resolve is decently easy, since iMovie happens to actually borrow a lot of mechanics from Resolve. Sure, iMovie is not a proper editor, but is a great way to just get into the idea of putting videos together with music and text.
@@rano12321 I just started learning editing 3 days ago with davinci. I think the scene edits, cuts and text is very simple. You can learn it in about 25 minutes. With my limited experience I think the most challenging part for me is the animation side of things. Apart from the preset animations, I don’t have a clue how you tell the software the elements you want to animate a certain way. Colour editing seems simple enough but it’s the damn nodes and any fancy animation that gets to you as a learner
11:46 well in davinci resolve you can create a smart bin where you can add frequent elements like videos, photos, effects, etc. You can choose to make this smart bin stay forever even if you open a new project and it will appear in your edit tab.
im my case using same 4k clip in Premier it can play back smoothly at native resolution，but in Resolve the play back is kind of choppy even when i lower the timeline resolution and play back resolution and use 1/2 timeline proxy its still choppy，i have to use optimize media to make everything smooth，but it takes time and storage space，dont know why its like this because on internet almost everyone says Davinci is smoother than Premier，and my hardware is still good enough i think（r7 5800h rtx3060 laptop）so i really dont know whats the problem here
@@shang1905 What codec are you shooting in? I have heard before that the free version of resolve on pc doesn't support HEVC(h.265). I have no idea if that's actually true, I made the switch to a Mac a couple years ago and never looked back : )
@@shang1905 are you using the free version of Davinci Resolve? Note that the free version doesn't support hardware decoding/encoding for h264/h265, that feature uses your GPU to take give you smooth playback and speed up rendering. Only the paid version has it and it does that better than premiere. That's why people find Davinci smoother and faster than premiere. But even without that feature, your laptop should play any 4k footage smoothly..so strange
You can definitely use the “text” or “text+” effect in layers on the edit page in DaVinci to do the same thing as far as text and a solid color overlay. That doesnt necessarily have to be done in Fusion.
I find it very annoying to see so many of these "comparison" videos always missing the most basic stuff, and effectively misleading people. It shows how little they care about the subject... They do zero basic research... You would think that people who want to speed up their editing workflow would learn about the software BEFORE doing a comparison videos.
Resolve definitely has a slicker UI! I want to change, but I’m so fast on Premiere after all these years. Adobe has a few cool features I use a lot: auto-reframe and subtitle generation. They’ll get more powerful with AI.
DaVinci Resolve literally has both of those. Plus if you ever find yourself rotoscoping or wanting to place text behind a subject, DaVinci Resolve has Magic Mask. It uses the neural engine to do ALL the rotoscoping automatically and is such a powerful tool. I started with Resolve and don't use nodes or fusion on a regular basis. The only space I use nodes is in the colour panel and that is really simple. Think of it like stacked adjustment layers that are just 10 times more powerful.
I tried to switch but gave up on it when I found how complicated it was just to save an effect preset. It has benefits but I noped out and went back to premiere.
I’ll be that guy. Resolve is better and it’s not even close. I edited in Premiere for 7 years and then switched to resolve at v16. Best decision I’ve ever made as an editor. And yea, Resolve my “crash” once in a while but it’s much more like a “freeze” and is extremely rare. Also since Resolve saves with literally every click, when it does freeze and restarts it’s nowhere near as catastrophic as Premiere. It just pops back up and you’re literally exactly where you left off. No stupid prompt like in Premiere where you have to duplicate the project and save a new version somewhere on your computer with a new name. Resolve is soooo much more stable.
@@AdamSzarmack Hey im a year late haha but im about to download davinci but I dont know which to download, i saw there's version 19, version 19 studio, version 18.6 as well
I’m a veteran editor and started using Resolve in 2014 alongside Premiere as a freelancer. By 2018, I was done with Premiere because the hidden capabilities of Resolve are INSANE. Im currently doing compositing for a feature film with tracking elements and rotoscoping and every time I look for a solution, I find that it is already integrated into Resolve! The more you explore, the more blown away you’ll be … and I’ve been editing for 30+ years.
Might be unpopular opinion, but nodes are one of the reason why I switched from Premiere/AE to Resolve/Fusion, as pretty much most professional VFX is done with node-based software. Resolve, Nuke, Fusion, Maya, Houdini, Mari, Flame etc. just to name a few. Also, once you go nodes, there's no going back, after learning and using nodes everything else will feel super unintuitive and slow. It's funny because almost nothing is layers based outside this Adobe-UA-cam-indie realm. Nodes work logically so you can build very complex effects with basic logical foundations and control the order of operations which is crucial for complex effects, and you wouldn't be lost since you can get a birds eye view of everything you have done with nodes at once and can go back to any stage and make necessary changes without hunting down a million pre-comps and these are just a few of the hundreds of reason why AE is not used in pro VFX studios but Nuke or Fusion or Flame.
That's reason I'm using fusion rather than AE, if you know fusion, you've learnt 90% Nuke automatically, AE best for motion graphics I mean that's what it made for but not industry level vfx software, I was doing green screen keying in AE, the reflection on skin so hard to deal in AE you have to use third party plugin, where as in Fusion just few nodes, as you said all industry leading software are node based 😊
@@discovery7 Yup exactly, learning Nuke made me give Fusion a try which actually made me switch to Resolve +Fusion, although I'd say Fusion has a lot of tools for motion graphics, very much comparable to AE and sometimes better that Nuke lacks.
I just started DaVinci and the nodes were just familiar because I use Unreal Engine. I didn't even realize node vs layers since I never used after affects. I have to ask about your experience creating motion graphics in DaVinci? Is it better than AE? Like creating 2D animated videos?
A little note about 12:07 : you can actually save presets as powergrades in the color tab, this will be carried across all projects within the same database ;)
Not sure if you have explored power bins, but I find for reused assets I vastly prefer using powerbins over opening other projects now. It's great for storing reused assets, animations, fusion effects, and even pre made fusion based adjustment layers. Very powerful. Also keep in mind, in Premiere if you apply a transform lut before doing basic edits in the same lumetri panel, you are clamping down you dynamic range a lot before making those adjustments. If you put the transform lut inside the creative panel in lumetri it will take place after basic adjustments, so you still have access to all the exposure available.
I'm seeing more and more people move to Resolve and I love it. Now all my favorite creators are making Resolve videos I can actually use lol. Also, you are definitely able to use layers in Resolve as well. I rarely do things in Fusion.
For the simple motion graphic stuff, text overlays, and what not he described at 9:56 is 100% just the same in davinci resolve. The edit and cut pages are layer based editors with adjustment clips, overlays, transitions and effects like every other editor, You don't need to touch fusion for many things. A loose rule you can use is "if you don't need after effects to do it with adobe's suite, you don't need to touch the fusion page in resolve." This is true for most cases.
as a 3d animator, and nature photographer, ive been using nodes and layers for years, honestly nodes most times are more orderly, layers can get quite confusing with all the back and forth, but with nodes there is a steady progression towards the result, so you can just leave a desired amount of space between effects to organise them better, i have not used resolve yet, but if you can create node groups then its obviously a better way to go
The problem of needing an image editing and graphics software, can easily be resolved with alternatives, like affinity's software. Besides that photography plan is really cheap if someone needs it apparently. Personally i am in a learning curve to da vinci, cause of the lowest amount is needed for the paid version. Once time fee gives freedom to have reasonable prices for your services, though not all our customers have huge budgets.
on davinci (18 above) you can stack 2 timelines or more in 1 project, the settings in the edit section and in top left of ur timeline there is a timeline logo you can set the timeline as you want
Hey, everyone! A few months ago I asked for feedback as an aspiring, student filmmaker on this channel and was so excited with the overwhelming support and kind words. This feedback inspired us to create our new 2-minute horror short film which we’ve just posted on our channel, and we’re so happy with the improvement we’ve made thanks to everyone here. Thanks Tomorrows Filmmakers, and thank you everyone!!
With the same PC/ Laptop, I could work easily and quickly with PR, but with Davinci, it's nightmare to even using a cross dissolve. Nobody mentions about requirement systems of both Program. With newbie, not everyone has big budget to build a good system. That's a huge things.
10:19 it makes sense to YOU as someone who has worked with the software for years but as someone who hasn't touched anything but MS PowerPoint davinci definitely takes the W here for me bc it's so much easier and simpler in a way. I don't want to feel like I'm working thru 500 layers trying to make sure everything still works when Davinci seems like it's very straightforward
12:11 mark Davinci resolve has Power bins were you can save any file any type, media, sfx, jpeg, transition, custom made compound clips etc, all to be accessible for easy and quick access across all projects.
a complete, detailed and reliable comparison in a clear dictation. Everything I needed to know. Now, I would like to see the comparison between Final Cut and Da Vinci (if they haven't already done so, I need to search on this channel), Good job!
10:09 you can do the same by adding a color background in the generators, change it to black, then add the text, and layer it like normal, all in the edit page
Multiple Timelines in Davinci is there already, Doing text in layers is also there in the edit page. If you already know Audition you would be a god in fairlight. Most of the things mentioned in this video have already equivalent implementation in Davinci, except of course for familiarity and muscle memory. We just need to dive in deeper
Concerning copying projects please explore power bins in resolve 😅. You'll be shocked. Concerning layers and nodes most industry standard software use nodes for VFX work (that's why they use nodes for their VFX). Nuke, Maya, Houdini etc all use nodes. By using nodes in fusion, you're already into industry stuff. And you well know that nodes are more powerful than layers. For easy stuff layers may *seem* simple. But when things get serious layers just fall off.
Everyone talks about the cost and I'm playing with switching, but for me I'm still going to have to pay for the entire Adobe creative cloud because I still need Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom. And.. incase I still need to do something in After Effects (have paid plugins) I might as well pay for the whole suite anyway.
18:28 this. I would love to adopt a 100% Davinci workflow for all the reasons mentioned in this video. I use it for personal projects. BUT, for my job, I work with multiple editing houses globally alongside designers, photographers, and illustrators. Adobe Libraries, Pr/AE Templates, everything is just easier to coordinate in Adobe CC when scaling production with a larger team. The dumb reality is that IT and the people who approve software feel warm and cozy with Adobe, and that's what's generally approved and paid for. Isn't corporate fun???
No need to switch premiere is better in other features .. but davinci color correction is so good but noise removal and playback in second monitor is not available on free version so i say no need to switch completely
10:06 you dont need to do all this in fusion. You can make it in timeline too. Fusion is more for after effects like smoke or fires or motion graphics than just for text.
As a beginner in editing, I actually found PP SIGNIFICANTLY easier to navigate for the basic stuff. And the learning curve for colorgrading to be SIGNIFICANTLY steeper in Resolve. Perhaps I'm biased coming from a fairly proficient background in Photoshop so a lot of concepts and terminology translated directly to PP. But Resolve was definitely harder for me. I am starting to see weaknesses in PP colorgrading though, so I will probably eventually make the switch. I've got a couple friends in the professional industry that said something similar. If you're just starting out, PP is just easier (more expensive for sure though).
Opposite for me, had been using photoshop since 24 years ago, and regularly use Lightroom, but I found Resolve controls and interface much more intuitive. I still have both, but I haven’t opened up PP in forever, last time I opened it up, I felt lost as hell.
10:12 I don't fully agree, yes you can go tu fusion for titles, but you can manage it with titles effects and adjusting layers effect, so you can effectively do exactly the same as you did in Premiere with a layer-based solution. Only if you want to animate, it's doable, but you have free (and paid) plugins to animate titles
I’m a content creator wanting to start doing videos instead of streams. I’ve never used Premier Pro, but this video really helped me decide which one I was going to pick. 100% DaVinci Resolve. I’m coming from experience (not much tho) in the rendering field, specifically Blender. Therefore, nodes make so much sense to me! I’ve never used layer-based editing, but nodes are needed to make renders look great! All in all, DaVinci makes more sense and it’s free!
Bro, how to know if one is made for video editing or not? I mean I am trying to learn video editing software. I like videos, I guess everyone does, but I like Behind-the-scenes, cinematography etc.
@@atuldwivedi3959 Are you asking about Blender vs traditional editing software or Premier Pro vs DaVinci Resolve? If you’re asking about using Blender, my immediate response is that you shouldn’t. I couldn’t get much to work on it, like adding text and whatnot. Blender is 100% for 3D rendering. If you’re asking about Premier Pro vs DaVinci Resolve: Use whatever is best in your opinion. If you don’t wanna break the bank, use DaVinci. Otherwise, Premier Pro is trusted by many, as the video mentions. You mentioned you liked cinematography, like film sets? If you like 3D animation and graphics, maybe use Blender to render them! If you like behind-the-scenes kind of stuff, I don’t know where to go from there. Depends on what you like, ig! TL:DR; DaVinci for free use, Premier Pro because of its trust.
I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro for 5 years now, and its interface is very attractive. We can customize its layout according to our preferences. Premiere Pro has been the best choice for me, and it will continue to be. Another thing is that software teaches us how to use it, but we need to be creative and create things on our own.
I edit in premiere pro, color grade in davinci. I don't think one is better than the other, all depends on your technical expertise in any of the two. However, davinci's color grade interface is top notch and it's fast becoming the new trend in Nigeria, for pro colorist. The fact that it's cheaper and apparently almost free gives it edge.
The Adobe CC subscription also comes with a load of other software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Adobe Fonts etc. - that's worth mentioning. You can't judge it's value just on Premier and AE.
Had so many issues with the latest premiere pro. Several versions had issues with the text video editing then recently I had a few versions struggling with the playback issues. They fix one issue with an update and break something else. I'm getting annoyed and looking at davinci more and more but it'll be a big jump
I haven't used Premiere Pro, but have used Premiere Elements for the last three or four versions. It's generally easy to use, but I'm moving to DaVinci Resolve as well. I have wanted to make better, more complicated videos, and so PE is at the limit of what I can do. I have avoided subscription-based programs thus far, and will continue to do so as long as non-subscription programs are available options.
I started on avid media composer for many years and switched to premier for many years more years. I've now just switched to Resolve. It feels like I've just found a new home after leaving Avid MC all those years ago, many things I found challenging in premier are such a breeze now in resolve. I'm spending more time being creative and less time with the limitations of the adobe timeline and colour system. Finally back in a colour managed workflow.
Resolve is like Nuke! Apparently, I have been hibernating all this time... thank you for sharing all these information. I have installed DaVinci Resolve and I am loving it!
DaVinci is by far WAY ahead of the game as far as features, price, & overall user experience! 🙌🏾 Switched from FCPx two years ago & haven't looked back once!
Great video! I've been on the fence on switching over to DaVinci after building up over 10 years of muscle memory in premiere and other layer based editors but this really helped to demystify the program. Keep it up!
Great video! While nodes may seem new they’re not. And they’re amazing!!!! They give you power and flexibility that layer based workflows just can’t. This becomes super apparent when you get into 3D graphics and vfx. One of the most used tools is Sidefx Houdini. The reason why this all seems so new is because people aren’t used to using fusion but learning nodes will give you Jedi force level capabilities. Especially when using more powerful tools such as maya, fusion, and even blender and yes blender is industry standard and big as well as small studios are switching. Another powerhouse is renderman by Pixar. I would highly recommend that everyone working in film should learn nodes. Blender is free and is compliant with the vfx reference standard as is davinci resolve so it’s a great idea to learn nodes.
Thank you! Great Points taken! I will push myself to learn Fusion. I have a little bit of 3D Experience and want to grow in 3D and Video, so I will work on it!
10:10 in DaVinci you can put text over your timeline same as in Premiere, but when you want to customize it more and do special effects it is just better to do it in fushion page
Don’t think this is a 1:1 comparison Resolve’s Edit tab = Premiere pro Fusion = After Effects Fairlight = Audition All those are found in 1 program vs 3. Nodes are only used in Fusion/Color and to me allow for a much cleaner workflow. Especially the ability to create groups+collapse groups>> precompose, sort layers by name making it easy to edit key frames, and a lot more that I discovered within the first week of using Resolve. Once I found out about Reactor and it’s plugins for Resolve it was over for me
@@luigibro2340 reactor is a plug-in that lets you download hundreds of free 3rd party plugins. Many of which are AE effects that have been recreated for fusion
I have had multiple crashes over the years with Adobe. The last one, I lost a ton or work, I moved to Davinci and after learning it, I love it. I tried to go back to Adobe later (for 360 vr) and couldn't... Nothing made sense and it felt like I was back in the 90's. And using Davinci's keyboard... I can never go back to Adobe.
this is deff my opinion and a technical correction of the above video. Davinci uses whats called a node tree. All 3D software, such as, Blender, Unreal Engine 5, Maya, Houdini etc...all use NODES/Node tress. Yes, in default, it is right to left in Fusion. However, one can simply make it vertical/layered...if preferred. I feel nodes are easier/more intuitive as I am not forced to put "layers" where the software wants them to be. I can place a node "anywhere" and connect it to anything at anytime I want to in order to change something. Nodes create a larger set of customizations. Basic effects need a small number/basic nodes. Which means, you don't need to place an affect on something and change a bunch of things to get "the look" you want. One node does a specific thing and you change that specific thing and it won't change your entire project in turn. Just that one node. A "text" node is text only. It wont change anything other than that text. Background node is...well...you get it. The background only. LOL. Once these are understood, it is pretty fast. Just set default to vertical if one wants the "layer" look to the node tree. Keep in mind the "tree" part of "node tree" One can branch out a specific part of the tree if one wants to really customize "one part" of the project. There are great vids and the manual, believe it or not, is great explaining nodes. PS, just try stuff too. You won't break it. HAHAHA. Control Z saves lives. HAHAHA There is NO CONTROL Y. Don't think CONTROL Y is "redo" CONTROL Y is "soften" or "lighten". Can't remember off the top of my head. Redo is i think shift, control, z. The manual has all shortcuts and one can set defualt the keyboard to premier pro shortcuts if one wants that. One can set the default keys to whatever they want to as well. Then Davinci has the hardware. Game changer. Don't even need the keyboard. They are a tad pricey, but Davinci resolve STUDIO comes free with ALL HARDWARE, including their cameras and links and such. All hardware. They have a really nice 300$ mini quick editor unit that I LOVE and came with DaVinci studio free. If you don't like the unit, just sell it and you basically get DaVinci studio free from selling the edit unit on ebay or something. Just make sure to put "software license not included with unit" in your description or additional info when selling to make it legal and all.
10:10 You dont need to go to fusion page to do this. It is easier than in PP because you can make a background in text options so you use one layer instrad two.
I used Premiere Pro for nearly 10 years, used Resolve for Color all that time. Switched over fully to Resolve a couple of years back and can’t believe it took so long, will never look back.
Just watched this video and downloaded Davinci Resolve free version to start experimenting. I am a full-time pro stills shooter who is starting to table in video. Thanks for the helpful comparison.
It feels odd that you state DR is easier and then go into how much easier PPRO is at 08:50.than dealing with the nodes. The nodes may have turned me off completely from DR... then you go into talking about integrating other projects in PPRO and how "super super simple" it is in PPRO. And then you gave DR a point for "ease of use for beginners" after essentially saying PPRO is more intuitive and easier with layers? And sure, DR is "better" for color grading. But, doesn't that really only matter if you're maxed out with PPRO's options and shooting raw or 10 bit 422 and slog etc?
This is really helpful, I ran into a huge bug with premiere pro and saw it was unfixed for months. That annoyed me at the price point this editor comes with, so I looked into others, and I had no idea Davinci had some of these features that really catch my eye. I'm gonna be switching, and I'm really excited to.
I started using premiere pro in 2004. Other than the 3 years final cut 7 was the best ive stayed with premiere... I am currently doing davinci training videos and ready to make the switch.
dont make the switch and regret bro.. within few months with adobe updates davinci will sink. Still premiere is very user friendly and easy to use and its plugins are crazy . davinci just cool for its name.
@@spicymusicpianostarted 1st 2 years with davinci bro lol.. got so fed up and then changed to pp.. theres no comparison even between these two porgrams. adobe is the industry leader for a fact. shows how you dont know anything about pp and its features
@@RelaxedMind101 As I wrote I was working on PP for 8 years so I know Adobe very well. PP is industry standard? Doing video fot internet ok, but cinema or TV? How many hollywood production was done by PP? Adobe was boasting some 2 or 3 movies :D In TVs standard is Avid and davinci and less and less PP and FCP. Look (even on YT) how meny peope are switching from PP to DR. And how many videos about from DR to PP? Two? Three? :) I will never back to adobe. I don;t need more crashing, waiting for importing media or project, fighting against trying to do good tracking and switching to AE or AA to do something else. Just only work on timeline is more comfortable and faster (almost like in Avid) than in PP. But I will repet - if you know DR well and all the functions and features:) I will not evet say that adobe is on market for so many years and Adobe still can't get PP to use GPU for 100% as Davinci. It's some absurd in soft for working on graphic...
I am a beginner tbh i download both tbh i liked divinci it was extremely easy to learn and understand, more features for no price, it have everything you need all in one.
I must be so use to PPRO that I just can't understand how someone can say DR is easier to learn. I WOULD LOVE to get away from PPRO because of cost and update issues. But, I just HATE the DR interface. Perhaps I could customize the DR interface and keyboard shortcuts and not feel this way. But, I haven't see how to do this. I wish there was just a button I could click in DR to make it's shortcuts and interface more like PPRO.
I was interested in learning video editing a few years ago when I began my journey with the Adobe premiere Pro pirated version cuz I couldn't afford to buy an authentic version. It crashed my computer every single time I clicked on the icon. Finally I purchased a new laptop the first software I installed is Davinci. I just started learning davinci and it's already very easy and simple to use even though my laptop is mid ranged powered by ryzen 5.
I definitely want to switch to Resolve for editing. Premiere is SO BUGGY! Especially when working with audio. Entire sound clips drop out while previewing, even after rendering the audio. It's super annoying! I don't think I'll be able to give up After Effects for the time being though. Fusion seems great (I love the magic mask), but there are still a lot of things that seem easier to do in After Effects. My scenes get very complex and I've developed a clean precomp workflow and I can see it just turning into a giant ball of spaghetti in Fusion since each effect is a separate node. I'll have to try it out and see if I can adapt to it.
I switched from Resolve to Premier Pro after 7 years. And I personally think, that creaters are trying to convince people to switch just for content and money. Premier has a much better integration with other programs such as photoshop, illustrator and the best ones are after effects and audition. This is something, what improved my editing skills to the whole new level. Premier is so much advance but I always colour my clips in resolve. About speed the resolve is faster in raw playback but when you pre render some stuff, the premier is absolutly winner. In 4K the nativ playback is faster in Premier and the best feature is the Media Encoder becaus the quality in lower bitrate is so much clearer and faster than resolve.
As a graphics designer and video editor the adobe suite is definitely better but if you’re solely a video editor then switching to davinci makes the most sense
I have been using davinci for some time now (the free version) and it has never crashed in both of my laptops. I would also recommend this for beginners as it feels easier to use and organize.
i think the only thing I've ever done in fusion is use the motion tracker, you don't need to use nodes to ad text, i spend 99% of my time in the cut section and its all layers
While nodes take a little while to learn, they are much more convenient than layers imo. Layers are inherently one dimensional whereas with nodes you can have multiple 'pipelines' simultaneously, which becomes really messy when bunched together and displayed as a single stack of layers.
The example at 10:04 isn't entirely correct. You can can layer like in premiere. Just add the color generator from the generator tab in effects and turn down the opacity then add a text on the top layer. You can either keyframe in the inspector tab to animate the size of the text or add a transform node in fusion for more options. Fusion is not necessary for the example he made. also opening Fusion is way easier then the way he showed. You can just right click on the clip and select open in fusion to it the way he did.
About the node, well, you can use layers too on DaVinci, especially for a simple title like that one, but it won’t be good enough for everything. 10:12
I use the resolve colour tab to edit photos too. It's so much more powerful for colour than photoshop if you're not doing any kind of effects and has full raw support
10:07 mark I dont think you know how or tried to use Davinci resolve cause what you say can all be done on the edit page with your timeline visible by simply putting a text on the layer above your video file just like you did in Premiere pro. Yes you Could go into Fusion if your trying to make your life difficult for no reason. Anyone jumping into a program that is new is confusing and for me Davinci resolve seemed a lot more user friendly.
10:30 U know u can just go to colorize page and make the vid go a little dark then put a text above the vid and write whatever u want And this is just 1 way of so many diffrent ways Nice video by the way ❤
2:30 You're comparing the whole suite to just Resolve. This includes people that also only use Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, AfterEffects, XD or whatever else is included in their plans. From those many many people probably only a fraction is using PP, though it will still be quite a lot - and probably more than Resolve.
I think I would use Premier Pro more but I have been having an issue signing in to adobe where it just infinitely loops and people have said the only way to get rid of that is to clear almost all of your data in your computer.
This was helpful, I think. Though I'm a long time Adobe user, I've been looking hard at DaVinci Resolve because of its color grading abilities. There's a couple of other factors in play. My wife is a college professor and she has the educational discount on the Adobe Suite. However, she'll be retiring in a year and I'm afraid our discount will go away just as our income is reduced. Furthermore, I'm really intrigued with Dehancer. If I get it, I would have had to decide to either stick with Adobe or go to DaVinci. There are still photography software that is giving PS and LR a run for it's money. They, like DaVinci, aren't subscription based. Decisions! Decisions!
Excellent content but 'that music' became like a pebble in my sock at about 15:55. I'd suggest lowering the volume ratio vs mic input. Otherwise excellent.
Thank you for the review. You make some interesting and noteworthy facts about both platforms. As a side note you can get the Speed Editor for Davinci which Premiere does not have. This saves you alot of time if you do editing on a regular basis. Also if you watch for a sale you can get a licensed copy of Davinci Resolve Studio included for free with a purchase of a Speed Editor. Speaking of which can you please do a review on the Speed Editor sometime?
Resolve does rarely crash. It happened to me just a couple of days ago but it was the only time I can recall it crashing in the last few months. And its always on autosave so I didn't loose a thing.
Im enrolled with you guys and love the content. A couple things I would note though is that the numbers you’re citing for resolve vs Adobe SEEMS to be for all of adobes products vs Davinci resolve only. I’m not sure if that’s correct, but it would make a difference in an apples to apples comparison. Would also say that premiere is industry standard for SOME things like UA-cam and perhaps smaller production companies BUT not for color grading in Hollywood or higher end production. It would obviously still do the job but isn’t really typical. Would also make the case that Avid is still seen as fairly standard in that realm as well from what I can gather.
I feel like at the end of the day its all about what you prefer. Personally I started a few years ago on a cracked version of premiere pro with cracked sapphire, and all other plugins I needed and watched 10 minute video and understood the basics and could you quite a lot already
I get adobe suite for $20 a month as a student, but I started using Davinci before I got suite and I still love it. I have the free version though so I can’t use all the features. It basically boils down to what videos you are making. If you are making basic gaming videos or regular vids the only need basic motion graphics and effects then Davinci is great for being free. If you are a student and want to make more higher end content with more features and effects, it might be worth getting suite as it comes with photoshop, after effects, premier pro, illustrator and other stuff that can help you create whatever you wanna make. I make lower end content right now so I use Davinci, but I am definitely pursuing a better understanding of adobe so I can make higher end content.
Hey actually about editng with layers in Premier and Nodes in DaVinci, in the edit tab you can choose to edit by layers if you wish to, I usually edit in layers with graphics and titles on the edit tab its much faster. You also can do everything in fusion, the only difference is fusion will have more options and flexibility overall
You can do exactly the same thing you are doing in premier in resolve if you want it to, you don't need to complicate things, although fusion is not to hard to learn then after effect
8:52 bro what? How can you guys even stand for it to crash at all? I am not gonna like this one bit. Is there any software that will never crash?? Bc to me it just sounds like it's a very poor product if it crashes and as someone who has played video games that you would have to constantly save it makes you not even want to play it. So do the crashes happen every time you edit and multiple times when you are trying to edit or is it like once every so often?
As a da vinci user, you can use layers as a text. It is not obligatory to use fusion. Fusion is like after effects. You don't need to go to fusion when you are doing basic editing.
I was going to say this...
Yes - exactly right. Fusion = AE and nodes are so much easier for this kind of work.
yeah you can just add the color generator and turn down the opacity then add a text on top. You can either keyframe in the inspector tab to animate the size of the text or add a transform node in fusion for more options. Fusion is not necessary
i got a question my dad said that it is a scam or fake is that true cuz when i got it i think i had a virus
@@static_TV123you may not have gotten it from the official site or got a fake version of the studio version. make sure to get it directly from Blackmagic
As an DaVinci user…if you are getting into editing, it’s your best option! Great video guys
Is it good to start learning to edit?
As a learner I feel it's harder to learn DaVinci because of that fusion and farlight things
@@Meisenpai69 foundations are complex because they are more powerful and flexible than adobe's counterparts. You are not gonna be beginner forever, once you get passed the beginner stage, you'll start to see the power and realize why adobe stuffs are not used in big budget shows and movies. Resolve is not a beginner friendly tool as it's geared towards professionals working in the movie and tv industry. So if all you wanna do is edit super basic videos, you might be better off using something else.
When I started editing, I was 11 and I made some simple goofy vids in iMovie. iMovie is great for learning super basic editing, but it can't do much else. Interestingly, switching from iMovie to DaVinci Resolve is decently easy, since iMovie happens to actually borrow a lot of mechanics from Resolve. Sure, iMovie is not a proper editor, but is a great way to just get into the idea of putting videos together with music and text.
@@rano12321 I just started learning editing 3 days ago with davinci. I think the scene edits, cuts and text is very simple. You can learn it in about 25 minutes. With my limited experience I think the most challenging part for me is the animation side of things. Apart from the preset animations, I don’t have a clue how you tell the software the elements you want to animate a certain way. Colour editing seems simple enough but it’s the damn nodes and any fancy animation that gets to you as a learner
11:46 well in davinci resolve you can create a smart bin where you can add frequent elements like videos, photos, effects, etc. You can choose to make this smart bin stay forever even if you open a new project and it will appear in your edit tab.
Wow! That's great.
Yep, they’re called Power Bins
Missed one huge thing. Resolve is SO much faster at rendering, and plays back much smoother than premier
Thats we need the most right? :D
im my case using same 4k clip in Premier it can play back smoothly at native resolution，but in Resolve the play back is kind of choppy even when i lower the timeline resolution and play back resolution and use 1/2 timeline proxy its still choppy，i have to use optimize media to make everything smooth，but it takes time and storage space，dont know why its like this because on internet almost everyone says Davinci is smoother than Premier，and my hardware is still good enough i think（r7 5800h rtx3060 laptop）so i really dont know whats the problem here
@@shang1905 What codec are you shooting in? I have heard before that the free version of resolve on pc doesn't support HEVC(h.265). I have no idea if that's actually true, I made the switch to a Mac a couple years ago and never looked back : )
@@shang1905 are you using the free version of Davinci Resolve? Note that the free version doesn't support hardware decoding/encoding for h264/h265, that feature uses your GPU to take give you smooth playback and speed up rendering. Only the paid version has it and it does that better than premiere. That's why people find Davinci smoother and faster than premiere. But even without that feature, your laptop should play any 4k footage smoothly..so strange
@@shang1905bro I also have the laptop of same specs , can u pls tell me how ur editing experience with both the softwares in detail 😅
You can definitely use the “text” or “text+” effect in layers on the edit page in DaVinci to do the same thing as far as text and a solid color overlay. That doesnt necessarily have to be done in Fusion.
I find it very annoying to see so many of these "comparison" videos always missing the most basic stuff, and effectively misleading people. It shows how little they care about the subject...
They do zero basic research... You would think that people who want to speed up their editing workflow would learn about the software BEFORE doing a comparison videos.
Exactly, the cut and edit pages are layer based editors with the same workflow every single layer based NLE has.
Brooo... it got me so angry!
@@TransformXREDthis entire video was biased
@@TransformXREDsame with smart bins you can grab and store every video you want and grab them even faster than premiere
Resolve definitely has a slicker UI! I want to change, but I’m so fast on Premiere after all these years. Adobe has a few cool features I use a lot: auto-reframe and subtitle generation. They’ll get more powerful with AI.
DaVinci Resolve literally has both of those. Plus if you ever find yourself rotoscoping or wanting to place text behind a subject, DaVinci Resolve has Magic Mask. It uses the neural engine to do ALL the rotoscoping automatically and is such a powerful tool. I started with Resolve and don't use nodes or fusion on a regular basis. The only space I use nodes is in the colour panel and that is really simple. Think of it like stacked adjustment layers that are just 10 times more powerful.
woah karlrock but only 1 comment let me change that ! ... btw see you in india (pune) ! ;D
Nahi chahiye ji 😅
Resolve has also added those AI based tools btw, auto reframe, Ai based subtitles, voice isolation, text based editing, AI upscaling etc etc.
I tried to switch but gave up on it when I found how complicated it was just to save an effect preset. It has benefits but I noped out and went back to premiere.
I’ll be that guy. Resolve is better and it’s not even close. I edited in Premiere for 7 years and then switched to resolve at v16. Best decision I’ve ever made as an editor. And yea, Resolve my “crash” once in a while but it’s much more like a “freeze” and is extremely rare. Also since Resolve saves with literally every click, when it does freeze and restarts it’s nowhere near as catastrophic as Premiere. It just pops back up and you’re literally exactly where you left off. No stupid prompt like in Premiere where you have to duplicate the project and save a new version somewhere on your computer with a new name. Resolve is soooo much more stable.
do i need to enable it autosaving after every click, or is that default? ive just been spamming control+s all the time
@@cheesi4632 it was something you had to go and enable but I believe in recent versions it installs with the feature active by default.

I’m a veteran editor and started using Resolve in 2014 alongside Premiere as a freelancer.
By 2018, I was done with Premiere because the hidden capabilities of Resolve are INSANE.
Im currently doing compositing for a feature film with tracking elements and rotoscoping and every time I look for a solution, I find that it is already integrated into Resolve!
The more you explore, the more blown away you’ll be … and I’ve been editing for 30+ years.
What are the best hidden capabilities in davinci?
Interesting info
Might be unpopular opinion, but nodes are one of the reason why I switched from Premiere/AE to Resolve/Fusion, as pretty much most professional VFX is done with node-based software. Resolve, Nuke, Fusion, Maya, Houdini, Mari, Flame etc. just to name a few. Also, once you go nodes, there's no going back, after learning and using nodes everything else will feel super unintuitive and slow. It's funny because almost nothing is layers based outside this Adobe-UA-cam-indie realm.
Nodes work logically so you can build very complex effects with basic logical foundations and control the order of operations which is crucial for complex effects, and you wouldn't be lost since you can get a birds eye view of everything you have done with nodes at once and can go back to any stage and make necessary changes without hunting down a million pre-comps and these are just a few of the hundreds of reason why AE is not used in pro VFX studios but Nuke or Fusion or Flame.
What are nodes
popular opinion
That's reason I'm using fusion rather than AE, if you know fusion, you've learnt 90% Nuke automatically, AE best for motion graphics I mean that's what it made for but not industry level vfx software, I was doing green screen keying in AE, the reflection on skin so hard to deal in AE you have to use third party plugin, where as in Fusion just few nodes, as you said all industry leading software are node based 😊
@@discovery7 Yup exactly, learning Nuke made me give Fusion a try which actually made me switch to Resolve +Fusion, although I'd say Fusion has a lot of tools for motion graphics, very much comparable to AE and sometimes better that Nuke lacks.
I just started DaVinci and the nodes were just familiar because I use Unreal Engine.
I didn't even realize node vs layers since I never used after affects.
I have to ask about your experience creating motion graphics in DaVinci?
Is it better than AE? Like creating 2D animated videos?
A little note about 12:07 : you can actually save presets as powergrades in the color tab, this will be carried across all projects within the same database ;)
Not sure if you have explored power bins, but I find for reused assets I vastly prefer using powerbins over opening other projects now. It's great for storing reused assets, animations, fusion effects, and even pre made fusion based adjustment layers. Very powerful.
Also keep in mind, in Premiere if you apply a transform lut before doing basic edits in the same lumetri panel, you are clamping down you dynamic range a lot before making those adjustments. If you put the transform lut inside the creative panel in lumetri it will take place after basic adjustments, so you still have access to all the exposure available.
Power bins are amazing for this!
I'm seeing more and more people move to Resolve and I love it. Now all my favorite creators are making Resolve videos I can actually use lol. Also, you are definitely able to use layers in Resolve as well. I rarely do things in Fusion.
could you suggest me that creators names
@@nikhilb1681 Kold
How you do this in layers
Do you have any tutorials on that
For the simple motion graphic stuff, text overlays, and what not he described at 9:56 is 100% just the same in davinci resolve. The edit and cut pages are layer based editors with adjustment clips, overlays, transitions and effects like every other editor, You don't need to touch fusion for many things. A loose rule you can use is "if you don't need after effects to do it with adobe's suite, you don't need to touch the fusion page in resolve." This is true for most cases.
as a 3d animator, and nature photographer, ive been using nodes and layers for years, honestly nodes most times are more orderly, layers can get quite confusing with all the back and forth, but with nodes there is a steady progression towards the result, so you can just leave a desired amount of space between effects to organise them better, i have not used resolve yet, but if you can create node groups then its obviously a better way to go
how old is the node paradigm? older than leyers? (I mean in computer programs)
The problem of needing an image editing and graphics software, can easily be resolved with alternatives, like affinity's software. Besides that photography plan is really cheap if someone needs it apparently.
Personally i am in a learning curve to da vinci, cause of the lowest amount is needed for the paid version. Once time fee gives freedom to have reasonable prices for your services, though not all our customers have huge budgets.
on davinci (18 above) you can stack 2 timelines or more in 1 project, the settings in the edit section and in top left of ur timeline there is a timeline logo you can set the timeline as you want
Hey, everyone! A few months ago I asked for feedback as an aspiring, student filmmaker on this channel and was so excited with the overwhelming support and kind words. This feedback inspired us to create our new 2-minute horror short film which we’ve just posted on our channel, and we’re so happy with the improvement we’ve made thanks to everyone here. Thanks Tomorrows Filmmakers, and thank you everyone!!
With the same PC/ Laptop, I could work easily and quickly with PR, but with Davinci, it's nightmare to even using a cross dissolve. Nobody mentions about requirement systems of both Program. With newbie, not everyone has big budget to build a good system. That's a huge things.
Agree Davinci is very heavy
10:19 it makes sense to YOU as someone who has worked with the software for years but as someone who hasn't touched anything but MS PowerPoint davinci definitely takes the W here for me bc it's so much easier and simpler in a way. I don't want to feel like I'm working thru 500 layers trying to make sure everything still works when Davinci seems like it's very straightforward
12:11 mark Davinci resolve has Power bins were you can save any file any type, media, sfx, jpeg, transition, custom made compound clips etc, all to be accessible for easy and quick access across all projects.
a complete, detailed and reliable comparison in a clear dictation. Everything I needed to know. Now, I would like to see the comparison between Final Cut and Da Vinci (if they haven't already done so, I need to search on this channel), Good job!
10:09 you can do the same by adding a color background in the generators, change it to black, then add the text, and layer it like normal, all in the edit page
Multiple Timelines in Davinci is there already, Doing text in layers is also there in the edit page. If you already know Audition you would be a god in fairlight. Most of the things mentioned in this video have already equivalent implementation in Davinci, except of course for familiarity and muscle memory. We just need to dive in deeper
Concerning copying projects please explore power bins in resolve 😅. You'll be shocked.
Concerning layers and nodes most industry standard software use nodes for VFX work (that's why they use nodes for their VFX). Nuke, Maya, Houdini etc all use nodes. By using nodes in fusion, you're already into industry stuff. And you well know that nodes are more powerful than layers. For easy stuff layers may *seem* simple. But when things get serious layers just fall off.
Thanks for this! It's clear you acknowledged biases and explained what might be best for editors of every level.
Everyone talks about the cost and I'm playing with switching, but for me I'm still going to have to pay for the entire Adobe creative cloud because I still need Photoshop, Illustrator and Lightroom. And.. incase I still need to do something in After Effects (have paid plugins) I might as well pay for the whole suite anyway.
😂 😂 😂 Locked in the ecosystem
I'm a Premiere user considering a swap to Da Vinci, thanks for this video - very helpful.
18:28 this. I would love to adopt a 100% Davinci workflow for all the reasons mentioned in this video. I use it for personal projects. BUT, for my job, I work with multiple editing houses globally alongside designers, photographers, and illustrators. Adobe Libraries, Pr/AE Templates, everything is just easier to coordinate in Adobe CC when scaling production with a larger team. The dumb reality is that IT and the people who approve software feel warm and cozy with Adobe, and that's what's generally approved and paid for. Isn't corporate fun???
I switched to Davinci 2 days ago, now I can edit fast again. Changing some keybinding really helped, including my mouse buttons.
No need to switch premiere is better in other features .. but davinci color correction is so good but noise removal and playback in second monitor is not available on free version so i say no need to switch completely
You can pirate the studio version so its basically free
10:06 you dont need to do all this in fusion. You can make it in timeline too. Fusion is more for after effects like smoke or fires or motion graphics than just for text.
As a beginner in editing, I actually found PP SIGNIFICANTLY easier to navigate for the basic stuff. And the learning curve for colorgrading to be SIGNIFICANTLY steeper in Resolve. Perhaps I'm biased coming from a fairly proficient background in Photoshop so a lot of concepts and terminology translated directly to PP. But Resolve was definitely harder for me. I am starting to see weaknesses in PP colorgrading though, so I will probably eventually make the switch. I've got a couple friends in the professional industry that said something similar. If you're just starting out, PP is just easier (more expensive for sure though).
Opposite for me, had been using photoshop since 24 years ago, and regularly use Lightroom, but I found Resolve controls and interface much more intuitive. I still have both, but I haven’t opened up PP in forever, last time I opened it up, I felt lost as hell.
I am so immature, man
@@gues.t His PP is easy to manage... I bet he uses that with the ladies
9:44 in davinci you can do stuff as simple as this outside of fusion page and do it normally
10:12 I don't fully agree, yes you can go tu fusion for titles, but you can manage it with titles effects and adjusting layers effect, so you can effectively do exactly the same as you did in Premiere with a layer-based solution. Only if you want to animate, it's doable, but you have free (and paid) plugins to animate titles
This was very helpful Thank you so much for making it.
I’m a content creator wanting to start doing videos instead of streams. I’ve never used Premier Pro, but this video really helped me decide which one I was going to pick. 100% DaVinci Resolve. I’m coming from experience (not much tho) in the rendering field, specifically Blender. Therefore, nodes make so much sense to me! I’ve never used layer-based editing, but nodes are needed to make renders look great! All in all, DaVinci makes more sense and it’s free!
Bro, how to know if one is made for video editing or not? I mean I am trying to learn video editing software. I like videos, I guess everyone does, but I like Behind-the-scenes, cinematography etc.
@@atuldwivedi3959 Are you asking about Blender vs traditional editing software or Premier Pro vs DaVinci Resolve? If you’re asking about using Blender, my immediate response is that you shouldn’t. I couldn’t get much to work on it, like adding text and whatnot. Blender is 100% for 3D rendering.
If you’re asking about Premier Pro vs DaVinci Resolve: Use whatever is best in your opinion. If you don’t wanna break the bank, use DaVinci. Otherwise, Premier Pro is trusted by many, as the video mentions.
You mentioned you liked cinematography, like film sets? If you like 3D animation and graphics, maybe use Blender to render them! If you like behind-the-scenes kind of stuff, I don’t know where to go from there. Depends on what you like, ig!
TL:DR; DaVinci for free use, Premier Pro because of its trust.
I have been using Adobe Premiere Pro for 5 years now, and its interface is very attractive. We can customize its layout according to our preferences. Premiere Pro has been the best choice for me, and it will continue to be. Another thing is that software teaches us how to use it, but we need to be creative and create things on our own.
be real, u pirated it too?
I edit in premiere pro, color grade in davinci. I don't think one is better than the other, all depends on your technical expertise in any of the two. However, davinci's color grade interface is top notch and it's fast becoming the new trend in Nigeria, for pro colorist. The fact that it's cheaper and apparently almost free gives it edge.
I mean is it worth it to pay for a software that you only use for half your workflow? 🤷🏻♂️
@@brandongonzales6374 paying? Lol you know what I mean n this guy is from Nigeria. I doubt he n others pay
@@Ferchovicente staying in Nigeria doesn’t mean he can’t pay bro.

@@Easy_Forex_Strategy LOL hahaha LOL
The Adobe CC subscription also comes with a load of other software, including Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat, Adobe Fonts etc. - that's worth mentioning. You can't judge it's value just on Premier and AE.
If you regularly need footage from another project, you can save these clips in the power grades. Then you don't have to switch between projects.
Had so many issues with the latest premiere pro. Several versions had issues with the text video editing then recently I had a few versions struggling with the playback issues. They fix one issue with an update and break something else. I'm getting annoyed and looking at davinci more and more but it'll be a big jump
I haven't used Premiere Pro, but have used Premiere Elements for the last three or four versions. It's generally easy to use, but I'm moving to DaVinci Resolve as well. I have wanted to make better, more complicated videos, and so PE is at the limit of what I can do. I have avoided subscription-based programs thus far, and will continue to do so as long as non-subscription programs are available options.
I started on avid media composer for many years and switched to premier for many years more years. I've now just switched to Resolve. It feels like I've just found a new home after leaving Avid MC all those years ago, many things I found challenging in premier are such a breeze now in resolve. I'm spending more time being creative and less time with the limitations of the adobe timeline and colour system. Finally back in a colour managed workflow.
Resolve is like Nuke! Apparently, I have been hibernating all this time... thank you for sharing all these information. I have installed DaVinci Resolve and I am loving it!
DaVinci is by far WAY ahead of the game as far as features, price, & overall user experience! 🙌🏾 Switched from FCPx two years ago & haven't looked back once!
💯
Great video! I've been on the fence on switching over to DaVinci after building up over 10 years of muscle memory in premiere and other layer based editors but this really helped to demystify the program. Keep it up!
Great video! While nodes may seem new they’re not. And they’re amazing!!!! They give you power and flexibility that layer based workflows just can’t. This becomes super apparent when you get into 3D graphics and vfx. One of the most used tools is Sidefx Houdini. The reason why this all seems so new is because people aren’t used to using fusion but learning nodes will give you Jedi force level capabilities. Especially when using more powerful tools such as maya, fusion, and even blender and yes blender is industry standard and big as well as small studios are switching. Another powerhouse is renderman by Pixar. I would highly recommend that everyone working in film should learn nodes. Blender is free and is compliant with the vfx reference standard as is davinci resolve so it’s a great idea to learn nodes.
Thank you! Great Points taken! I will push myself to learn Fusion. I have a little bit of 3D Experience and want to grow in 3D and Video, so I will work on it!
10:10 in DaVinci you can put text over your timeline same as in Premiere, but when you want to customize it more and do special effects it is just better to do it in fushion page
Don’t think this is a 1:1 comparison
Resolve’s Edit tab = Premiere pro
Fusion = After Effects
Fairlight = Audition
All those are found in 1 program vs 3.
Nodes are only used in Fusion/Color and to me allow for a much cleaner workflow. Especially the ability to create groups+collapse groups>> precompose, sort layers by name making it easy to edit key frames, and a lot more that I discovered within the first week of using Resolve.
Once I found out about Reactor and it’s plugins for Resolve it was over for me
was reactor its only plugin
@@luigibro2340 reactor is a plug-in that lets you download hundreds of free 3rd party plugins. Many of which are AE effects that have been recreated for fusion
I have had multiple crashes over the years with Adobe. The last one, I lost a ton or work, I moved to Davinci and after learning it, I love it. I tried to go back to Adobe later (for 360 vr) and couldn't... Nothing made sense and it felt like I was back in the 90's. And using Davinci's keyboard... I can never go back to Adobe.
this is deff my opinion and a technical correction of the above video. Davinci uses whats called a node tree. All 3D software, such as, Blender, Unreal Engine 5, Maya, Houdini etc...all use NODES/Node tress. Yes, in default, it is right to left in Fusion. However, one can simply make it vertical/layered...if preferred. I feel nodes are easier/more intuitive as I am not forced to put "layers" where the software wants them to be. I can place a node "anywhere" and connect it to anything at anytime I want to in order to change something. Nodes create a larger set of customizations. Basic effects need a small number/basic nodes. Which means, you don't need to place an affect on something and change a bunch of things to get "the look" you want. One node does a specific thing and you change that specific thing and it won't change your entire project in turn. Just that one node. A "text" node is text only. It wont change anything other than that text. Background node is...well...you get it. The background only. LOL. Once these are understood, it is pretty fast. Just set default to vertical if one wants the "layer" look to the node tree. Keep in mind the "tree" part of "node tree" One can branch out a specific part of the tree if one wants to really customize "one part" of the project. There are great vids and the manual, believe it or not, is great explaining nodes. PS, just try stuff too. You won't break it. HAHAHA. Control Z saves lives. HAHAHA There is NO CONTROL Y. Don't think CONTROL Y is "redo" CONTROL Y is "soften" or "lighten". Can't remember off the top of my head. Redo is i think shift, control, z. The manual has all shortcuts and one can set defualt the keyboard to premier pro shortcuts if one wants that. One can set the default keys to whatever they want to as well. Then Davinci has the hardware. Game changer. Don't even need the keyboard. They are a tad pricey, but Davinci resolve STUDIO comes free with ALL HARDWARE, including their cameras and links and such. All hardware. They have a really nice 300$ mini quick editor unit that I LOVE and came with DaVinci studio free. If you don't like the unit, just sell it and you basically get DaVinci studio free from selling the edit unit on ebay or something. Just make sure to put "software license not included with unit" in your description or additional info when selling to make it legal and all.
10:10 You dont need to go to fusion page to do this. It is easier than in PP because you can make a background in text options so you use one layer instrad two.
I used Premiere Pro for nearly 10 years, used Resolve for Color all that time. Switched over fully to Resolve a couple of years back and can’t believe it took so long, will never look back.
Just watched this video and downloaded Davinci Resolve free version to start experimenting. I am a full-time pro stills shooter who is starting to table in video. Thanks for the helpful comparison.
It feels odd that you state DR is easier and then go into how much easier PPRO is at 08:50.than dealing with the nodes. The nodes may have turned me off completely from DR... then you go into talking about integrating other projects in PPRO and how "super super simple" it is in PPRO. And then you gave DR a point for "ease of use for beginners" after essentially saying PPRO is more intuitive and easier with layers? And sure, DR is "better" for color grading. But, doesn't that really only matter if you're maxed out with PPRO's options and shooting raw or 10 bit 422 and slog etc?
This is really helpful, I ran into a huge bug with premiere pro and saw it was unfixed for months. That annoyed me at the price point this editor comes with, so I looked into others, and I had no idea Davinci had some of these features that really catch my eye. I'm gonna be switching, and I'm really excited to.
I started using premiere pro in 2004. Other than the 3 years final cut 7 was the best ive stayed with premiere... I am currently doing davinci training videos and ready to make the switch.

But I will repet - if you know DR well and all the functions and features:) I will not evet say that adobe is on market for so many years and Adobe still can't get PP to use GPU for 100% as Davinci. It's some absurd in soft for working on graphic...
I was just looking at switching from Pr to Resolve. This video helped me make the decision.
And Now what should you do?
Da vinci or pr???
You: Adobe costs a lot of money.
*Pirates laughing in the corner**
Virus 🗿
I am a beginner tbh i download both tbh i liked divinci it was extremely easy to learn and understand, more features for no price, it have everything you need all in one.
I must be so use to PPRO that I just can't understand how someone can say DR is easier to learn. I WOULD LOVE to get away from PPRO because of cost and update issues. But, I just HATE the DR interface. Perhaps I could customize the DR interface and keyboard shortcuts and not feel this way. But, I haven't see how to do this. I wish there was just a button I could click in DR to make it's shortcuts and interface more like PPRO.
im a premiere user and after last month I saw my editor friend using the davinci,it open my mind and now I start learning davinci for sure !!
I was interested in learning video editing a few years ago when I began my journey with the Adobe premiere Pro pirated version cuz I couldn't afford to buy an authentic version. It crashed my computer every single time I clicked on the icon.
Finally I purchased a new laptop the first software I installed is Davinci. I just started learning davinci and it's already very easy and simple to use even though my laptop is mid ranged powered by ryzen 5.
I definitely want to switch to Resolve for editing. Premiere is SO BUGGY! Especially when working with audio. Entire sound clips drop out while previewing, even after rendering the audio. It's super annoying! I don't think I'll be able to give up After Effects for the time being though. Fusion seems great (I love the magic mask), but there are still a lot of things that seem easier to do in After Effects. My scenes get very complex and I've developed a clean precomp workflow and I can see it just turning into a giant ball of spaghetti in Fusion since each effect is a separate node. I'll have to try it out and see if I can adapt to it.
One thing I don’t think I’ve ever heard of…someone switching from Resolve to Premiere.
I switched from Resolve to Premier Pro after 7 years. And I personally think, that creaters are trying to convince people to switch just for content and money. Premier has a much better integration with other programs such as photoshop, illustrator and the best ones are after effects and audition. This is something, what improved my editing skills to the whole new level. Premier is so much advance but I always colour my clips in resolve. About speed the resolve is faster in raw playback but when you pre render some stuff, the premier is absolutly winner. In 4K the nativ playback is faster in Premier and the best feature is the Media Encoder becaus the quality in lower bitrate is so much clearer and faster than resolve.
This one got me laughing😂
I did lol
As a graphics designer and video editor the adobe suite is definitely better but if you’re solely a video editor then switching to davinci makes the most sense
hey are you a video editor can you guide me about how to get work as a video editor.
Why not use both? Im using Premiere/Davinci/Filmora 12.
I have been using davinci for some time now (the free version) and it has never crashed in both of my laptops. I would also recommend this for beginners as it feels easier to use and organize.
i think the only thing I've ever done in fusion is use the motion tracker, you don't need to use nodes to ad text, i spend 99% of my time in the cut section and its all layers
Yep
been thinking about this for the last 4 years lol, great video!
If you are not using Resolve, switch to Resolve now. You will not regret the change.
You can also layer the text in the timeline in davinci
While nodes take a little while to learn, they are much more convenient than layers imo. Layers are inherently one dimensional whereas with nodes you can have multiple 'pipelines' simultaneously, which becomes really messy when bunched together and displayed as a single stack of layers.
you actually can use davinci resolve just like lightroom with the color page and export straight from the color page out.
The example at 10:04 isn't entirely correct. You can can layer like in premiere. Just add the color generator from the generator tab in effects and turn down the opacity then add a text on the top layer. You can either keyframe in the inspector tab to animate the size of the text or add a transform node in fusion for more options. Fusion is not necessary for the example he made. also opening Fusion is way easier then the way he showed. You can just right click on the clip and select open in fusion to it the way he did.
I use premiere for cutting and after effects for everything else together
About the node, well, you can use layers too on DaVinci, especially for a simple title like that one, but it won’t be good enough for everything. 10:12
I use the resolve colour tab to edit photos too. It's so much more powerful for colour than photoshop if you're not doing any kind of effects and has full raw support
Matt!! Such an awesome video my man great work!
The smoothness of davinci and its one stop shop is a W.
Why does every service not include a one time payment.
I think the nodes aspect of davinci resolve just makes sense, obviously you can use an effect on the edit page but it’s not as good.
10:07 mark I dont think you know how or tried to use Davinci resolve cause what you say can all be done on the edit page with your timeline visible by simply putting a text on the layer above your video file just like you did in Premiere pro. Yes you Could go into Fusion if your trying to make your life difficult for no reason. Anyone jumping into a program that is new is confusing and for me Davinci resolve seemed a lot more user friendly.
10:30
U know u can just go to colorize page and make the vid go a little dark then put a text above the vid and write whatever u want
And this is just 1 way of so many diffrent ways
Nice video by the way ❤
I personally use DaVinci Resolve studio, and affinity photo for my photo editing. Does 100% of what I need personally.
2:30 You're comparing the whole suite to just Resolve. This includes people that also only use Illustrator, Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign, AfterEffects, XD or whatever else is included in their plans. From those many many people probably only a fraction is using PP, though it will still be quite a lot - and probably more than Resolve.
I thought you would mention exporting and color shift in both
I think I would use Premier Pro more but I have been having an issue signing in to adobe where it just infinitely loops and people have said the only way to get rid of that is to clear almost all of your data in your computer.
After using Adobe for 25 years and spending thousand of dollars I switched to Resolve. What a treat. Thankyou Black Magic.
This was helpful, I think. Though I'm a long time Adobe user, I've been looking hard at DaVinci Resolve because of its color grading abilities. There's a couple of other factors in play. My wife is a college professor and she has the educational discount on the Adobe Suite. However, she'll be retiring in a year and I'm afraid our discount will go away just as our income is reduced. Furthermore, I'm really intrigued with Dehancer. If I get it, I would have had to decide to either stick with Adobe or go to DaVinci. There are still photography software that is giving PS and LR a run for it's money. They, like DaVinci, aren't subscription based. Decisions! Decisions!
As a DaVinci user. I use Affinity Serif for photoshop stuff. They also use one time payment.
Excellent content but 'that music' became like a pebble in my sock at about 15:55. I'd suggest lowering the volume ratio vs mic input. Otherwise excellent.
Thank you for the review. You make some interesting and noteworthy facts about both platforms.
As a side note you can get the Speed Editor for Davinci which Premiere does not have. This saves you alot of time if you do editing on a regular basis.
Also if you watch for a sale you can get a licensed copy of Davinci Resolve Studio included for free with a purchase of a Speed Editor.
Speaking of which can you please do a review on the Speed Editor sometime?
Resolve does rarely crash. It happened to me just a couple of days ago but it was the only time I can recall it crashing in the last few months. And its always on autosave so I didn't loose a thing.
Both are so modern imo that it's not an issue. If you're a rational person, you'll have autosave on for both
Im enrolled with you guys and love the content. A couple things I would note though is that the numbers you’re citing for resolve vs Adobe SEEMS to be for all of adobes products vs Davinci resolve only. I’m not sure if that’s correct, but it would make a difference in an apples to apples comparison.
Would also say that premiere is industry standard for SOME things like UA-cam and perhaps smaller production companies BUT not for color grading in Hollywood or higher end production. It would obviously still do the job but isn’t really typical. Would also make the case that Avid is still seen as fairly standard in that realm as well from what I can gather.
I feel like at the end of the day its all about what you prefer. Personally I started a few years ago on a cracked version of premiere pro with cracked sapphire, and all other plugins I needed and watched 10 minute video and understood the basics and could you quite a lot already
I get adobe suite for $20 a month as a student, but I started using Davinci before I got suite and I still love it. I have the free version though so I can’t use all the features. It basically boils down to what videos you are making. If you are making basic gaming videos or regular vids the only need basic motion graphics and effects then Davinci is great for being free. If you are a student and want to make more higher end content with more features and effects, it might be worth getting suite as it comes with photoshop, after effects, premier pro, illustrator and other stuff that can help you create whatever you wanna make. I make lower end content right now so I use Davinci, but I am definitely pursuing a better understanding of adobe so I can make higher end content.
Hey actually about editng with layers in Premier and Nodes in DaVinci, in the edit tab you can choose to edit by layers if you wish to, I usually edit in layers with graphics and titles on the edit tab its much faster. You also can do everything in fusion, the only difference is fusion will have more options and flexibility overall
You can do exactly the same thing you are doing in premier in resolve if you want it to, you don't need to complicate things, although fusion is not to hard to learn then after effect
8:52 bro what? How can you guys even stand for it to crash at all? I am not gonna like this one bit. Is there any software that will never crash?? Bc to me it just sounds like it's a very poor product if it crashes and as someone who has played video games that you would have to constantly save it makes you not even want to play it. So do the crashes happen every time you edit and multiple times when you are trying to edit or is it like once every so often?
