Top Rated DaVinci Resolve Alternatives
Davinci Resolve is the most powerful color system available. And it's free.
It has a simple interface which lets you start coloring immediately. There is plenty of documentation online if you want to learn more advanced techniques.
The free version lets you learn the system and produce great looking work. The full version unlocks professional tools (DCP, stereo, denoise) that aren't necessary for most folks work but are very nice to have. Especially denoise, which lets you remove chroma noise without touching luma, which gives you a much smoother image without sacrificing sharpness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It requires a powerful video card and there can be crashing and other problems on systems that don't quite meet the ideal specs. That being said, it works with very high bit data, so the powerful GPU is understandable.
In Davinci 11 it's difficult to resize your screens to your own preference, but that may change in 12.
Setting up secondary monitors or video feeds requires additional hardware, which is a few hundred bucks. Again, you're getting great quality images through it, so the need for better hardware to send images is understandable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Davinci Resolve is intuitive, and by far the best solution for post production. After decades using Adobe Premiere and other non-linear suites, Davinci outshines all others by far. Works perfectly with Arri, RED and Blackmagic camera footage. Very easy to install and implement. Customer support is excellent and the company cares about it's clients. I use Davinci Resolve daily in my post production work and it has integrated seamlessly into my workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The only downside is there is a steep learning curve for Fusion which is way different to Adobe After Effects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is so much in this software that it can be daunting but the best part is, you can use as much or as little as you want.
I started just on the edit pages. Transitioning from Premiere pro, reluctantly. Once I got into it, I no longer use Adobe for motion graphics, film or animation. Davinci resolve is just too good.
I use the paid, studio version, which is a one off, affordable price. NO SUBSCRIPTION. It runs off of GPU.
There is free training, with assets. Manuals for download and a whole host of videos.
I have converted a few people and they haven't been sorry.
The pages are great. You can work in the timeline edit and switch to colour grading, audio, motion graphics and VFX and the delivery pages to render, without having to open a different app.
I can't recommend it enough and I think I annoy people with how much I go on about it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't think there is anything I can think of.
Maybe that there is no Android version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Davinci Resolve has loads of features, while not having an overwhelming interface. I was able to use it right away, and have been implementing even more of its functions ever since. I use it often to edit videos, or even for more complicated video editing processes. It supports many video and audio formats, and I enjoy integrating different presents custom made by other users into my videos. This community support is greatly useful for learning how to do anything within the application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The advanced features do have more of a learning curve, but with so many tutorials available, that can be easily overlooked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For a "FREE" program this is the MOST impressive Video Editing software i've used in over 30 Years. They are almost there to replace Avid Media Composer, but for an entire suite of tools that work seamlessly together, there's nothing bu UPSIDE to this software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Still early in their development, needs to add some more stability and functionality to allow MORE customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It works just as well if you're a noob, like me, as for pro editors from which I've heard that use it. And each and every feature is well built and placed accordingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Even though the features are all there and eventually become easy to find once you've got the hang of it- It is not the most intuitive structure and therefeore might be a bit overwhelming for newcomers. Besides that, it's amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Color correction is its flagship feature, its grading technology combined with an intuitive interface makes it easy to achieve cinematic finishes. No high-end hardware is required to achieve this level of sophistication. In addition, DaVinci Resolve's fast processing capability ensures that even with multiple resolutions on the same timeline, we can edit without delay and in different formats.

Although DaVinci Resolve is a powerful tool and offers extensive customization, many of the commonly used functions have unintuitive shortcuts that take time to master at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- it has one of the best variants of editing tools, as a regular user of content creation and editing, this software works best for fine-tuning the work before uploading
- the colour correction and functional properties are definitely worth a try- they are so precise that it is hard to find praise in the outcome of it
- it is open to cross team collab which is great when working on the same project in a big organisation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- honestly, it has a very very steep learning curve and is not beginner-friendly at all- wont recommend for a newbie
- you need to use it on a desktop as it does not work well with other devices due to the requirements of the software, I also advise using a desktop or laptop that is more recent software and is regularly updated or else one is bound to suffer glitches during use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Despite being a very comprehensive tool, the interface is extremely intuitive and makes it easy to control. I make videos faster than in Adobe Premiere and also, at a very reasonable price.
Possibly the tool I most recommend to other professionals in my field who want to create content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The projects are stored within the tool itself. It can be somewhat confusing.
With so many features, the learning curve can be quite complex at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
the ability to process multiple timelines, then render in bulk, and it also has a free version. It is very intuitive to use, I adapted quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have no complaints so far, it's one of my favorite softwares. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I adsolutely love the fact that this product has a free version and paid version. I so far got the free version and was suprised that 100% of editing that I do in Premiere Pro I'm able to do so on a free software. The autosave is beyond incredible. I love how the software actually uses my computer GPU instead of the CPU. Love the autosave feature. Davinci Resolve is my main editing tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I wish there were more template options for Davinci Resolve. For example in Evanto there are more video templates for after effect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
