Media Composer's icon has remained on the desktop untouched. and thanks everyone for sharing your opinions! and thank you Sam for sharing your story. Thanks again Frank for the encouragements. Now, I'm still on Mocha, Motion and Fusion, but my NLE is Resolve. Of course, I know that my FCP7 works, but never use it again. It's only since this time (no use of my old NLE anymore even when having specific problems I knew I could fix on it) that I totally switched. I'd also like even more flexibility to move or zoom to GUI panels, and some defaults presets more logic (Resolve has you constantly check if no mistake is done and doesn't warn you if not, like you could replace files with the same names at exports with no prior warning).Īt the end of the day, I would recommend to first find a moment where your agenda allows you to switch to Resolve and force yourself to keep on it for some projects. Of course, a few details remain, like indeed to many clicks needed sometimes, still strange way to make subclips imho, and above all strange focus behaviours around playhead and cuts (at least, not those I would recommend or need). Well, up to now, after switching to FCP7 shortcuts, it happens that anything can be done and 90% of global actions are now quite the same as in another NLE. I then started on Resolve 9, trying to figure out what's really missing or not in the Edit panel especially. I knew I had to change for a couple of reasons that are off-topic here (mainly Apple terrific communication, lack of roadmap and poor FCPX in its beginning). Information you're looking for is what I looked for 2-3 years ago, so I can understand your concern and this is why I write here now.Īnyway, I'd been cutting on FCP7 for years and years, for destinations like web, tv, theatres, DVDs (commercials, shows, ITWs, reports. NLE's functions compared to something like C4D are minimal and I can't imagine that having to re-train oneself to memorize a couple of dozen functions and keyboard shortcuts would take more than a couple of days. Each and every one of those apps has their own individual keyboard shortcuts and it's really not that big of a deal to memorize most of them. I think the key is to make sure Resolve can do what you need it to do for your particular workflow.Īs far as memorizing keyboard shortcuts - sorry to sound smug about it but come on! In my average work day I will go from Logic Pro X, to Pro Tools, to AE, to Mocha, to C4D and to Resolve. If Joe Editor uses function Z on AVID or Premiere, and that particular function isn't available in Resolve, then it's obviously a deal breaker. I think that for several things that I needed to jump into AE to do, I can now do that right in Resolve with great results.īut, as I said, it depends on individual needs. The new FX included in 14 are IMHO right on par with a lot of the Red Giant and the Boris FX plugins. I already do a great deal of CGI compositing right into Resolve and I simply can't imagine doing it any other way. Resolve 14 is also blurring the line between NLE and VFX. Perhaps if someone is doing a lot of reality TV, or Documentaries I can see Resolve lacking some of the script sync/dialogue recognition thing that AVID does, but for 90% of editors' needs I think it's all in there. Granted, everyone's needs are slightly different. I came from FCP 7, then switched to Premiere, and finally ended up on Resolve. For me, it's the best NLE I ever worked on.
