There are so many things about DaVinci Resolve that I enjoy, it's tough to know where to begin. For starters, I'll say that I have in-depth and years of experience with many of the other competing applications that are available -- Final Cut, Premiere, Avid, Edius ... nothing comes close to Resolve. I love the seamless workflow integration. Being able to ingest, conform, cut, color, generate VFX and motion graphics, mix sound, and queue deliverables all within a single project is amazing. Every page (edit, color, fusion, Fairlight, etc) has the power and feel of it's own unique application, yet everything appears and functions in a uniform manner. Keeping everything inside the same project saves so much time and eliminates workflow headaches between departments. The power and control you have in the color grading tab is unmatched to other software. I've been using Resolve as my full-time NLE for a little over a year now and I'm so happy I made the switch.

This might be just within my network, but I've found getting others to adopt the software has been a difficult challenge to overcome. I find most people can't be bothered to learn a new tool -- they would rather continue using something that is familiar to them even is it underperforms. Many of the complaints I hear from others are really frustrations that are sparked from incompetence. There is no hope in learning or enjoying a new application if the mindset to do so is not there to begin with. This isn't so much a dislike for the software itself, but it is something to keep in mind when adopting a Resolve workflow if you work with teams. Definitely expect resistance from some parties. If you stay the course, however, you WILL NOT be disappointed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
