Davinci Resolve became free, not just lite. Then Blackmagic Design started to add more editing features, opening up the possibility of it becoming a viable video editor. Suddenly this legendary color grading suite was available to anyone.ĭevelopment continued, a Windows version was released with more features continually being added while the interface was overhauled to be more user-friendly. Eventually, a free “lite” version for Mac was released. Soon the price dropped and development changed. It was focused on color grading only and not fully featured as we know it now. At this point, DaVinci was still the domain of high-end film productions and very, very expensive. Around 2009 DaVinci Systems was acquired by Blackmagic design who made DaVinci Resolve their focus for development. The major difference between Resolve and Adobe is their affection for the past.Before we get to the business end of what’s the difference between the free and studio version of DaVinci Resolve, it’s worth looking at its evolution. Resolve is steeped in trying to replicate an older feeling, combining it with modern looks, and doing its best to keep each page strictly to what they’re intended for. This can be seen directly in how Resolve deals with time, which starts at “1:00:00”, instead of the more up-to-date digital “0”, to continue the replication of editing via tape.Īdobe meanwhile seems to be attempting to replicate the focus of Resolve, but with a lot more freedom for the user to create their own workspace area in the software.Ĭolour wheels, timelines, icons, and basic features are all similar in some ways, with major divergence in what other software they decide to pull from for other sections. Resolve follows a traditional node-based interface in its color and Fusion FX tabs, while Adobe keeps with the layers that exist within its ecosystem since Photoshop.
Looking at Resolve can be really intimidating. Only high-end software like Unreal or Nuke uses a Node-based system these days and that’s mostly out of necessity for the amount of information that needs organizing on screen at any one time. It’s not a known thing and getting to grips with the vast amount of control at your fingertips is wild. However, it can be too much, and learning takes time, it takes patience, and even after two years of using it, I personally, still scratch my head at what I could have possibly done to break the end result.
