"Easy tools for excellent video editing"
What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

I really like the trimming feature of DaVinci Resolve with shortcuts, which makes trimming very easy. Also, when I upload my files in the director, I can take them to the edit section and directly bring them to my timeline, and it buffers less even with eight GB RAM. It works as fast as I need and there is no drop in frame rate. During editing, it doesn't make my CPU feel like a powerhouse. Its setup process is also very user-friendly and it guided me step-by-step, which felt very convenient. After that, I really enjoyed it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaVinci Resolve?

So far, I haven't seen any issues with DaVinci Resolve, but if you want to make it even better, I can offer some suggestions. When you do coloring in it, I would like to see some samples available for free, such as filters that you can click on. At least five or six filters should be provided for free, after which you can charge a basic premium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Versatile Editing and Intuitive Interface Make Davinci a Standout"
What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

Davinci provides a flexible editing experience, accommodating all the editing techniques I require. The user interface is intuitive and simple to use, which makes navigation smooth. I also value the frequent updates that continually enhance the software. However, it can be somewhat challenging for beginners to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaVinci Resolve?

At first, figuring out how to get the correct audio output was challenging. The audio and video output settings were quite confusing in the beginning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Professional video editing and creation with a learning curve"
What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

DaVinci Resolve provides amazing tools for creating and editing videos to a professional standard. It can also be used on an iPad, although some features are slightly limited compared with the desktop version. But being able to be used on an iPad is critical for me, so this is a big win compared to many competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaVinci Resolve?

Things are sometimes a little challenging to navigate on an ipad. For instance some screens are hidden and can only be accessed by typing a keyboard shortcut, which isn’t always easy to remember. If I don’t use the app for a while, I have to google the shortcut again… Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Video Editing with Powerful Features"
What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

I really like how this software helps me edit videos and change different attributes easily like color grading, animation etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a bit difficult to learn especially the fusion section but once you master it you can do anything with it! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Holywood level editing at your doorstep"
What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

I like the color gradings available to make all even in the free version and the fact that Davinci brings world-standard editing to all those who dream to make their projects stand out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaVinci Resolve?

Although DaVinci has all you need to make your videos look professional at any standard in the market, it lacks intuitiveness and needs a lot of learning to find your way around. I mean, if you are one of those who like trying stuff on your own, I'll advise that you wear your patience boots because you are in for a ride. Once you can learn and master a trick, the results are worth it, though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Professional-Grade Video Editing and Color Grading-Feature-Rich but Demanding"
What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

DaVinci Resolve stands out for its industry-leading color grading tools, robust audio post-production (Fairlight), and comprehensive editing capabilities-all in a single platform. The software supports advanced features like AI-powered color matching, Magic Mask for object selection, multicam editing, and a wide range of export options, including presets for YouTube and TikTok. Its collaborative workflow is excellent for teams, allowing editors, colorists, and sound designers to work simultaneously on the same project Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about DaVinci Resolve?

DaVinci Resolve has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners, with many advanced features and unintuitive shortcuts that require time and effort to master. The interface can feel crowded, and some essential tools are not immediately easy to find without consulting manuals or tutorials. The software is resource-intensive, needing a modern, high-performance computer for smooth operation-older or less powerful machines may experience crashes or lag.

"Absolutely Love Davinci Resolve"
What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

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.

What do you dislike about DaVinci Resolve?

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.

"I an Adobe purist. Not any more"
What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

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.

What do you dislike about DaVinci Resolve?

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.

"Amazing video editor"
What do you like best about DaVinci Resolve?

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.

What do you dislike about DaVinci Resolve?

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.
