About DaVinci Resolve
DaVinci Resolve is a video editing software that helps editors, colorists, and VFX artists collaborate on post-production processes, such as 8K editing, visual effects insertion, color correction, and audio editing for feature films, television shows, and commercials. The source tape tool lets staff members review, select, and add shots from multiple clips into a single tape.
DaVinci Resolve includes built-in tools, which allows employees to manage processes related to picture-in-picture effects, clip retiming, stabilization, and dynamic zooming. With the facial recognition module, team members can automatically detect faces in video clips and create bins or folders based on specific individuals. It lets video editors copy and paste attributes, such as color grades, windows, plug-ins, and tracking effects across multiple nodes. It also enables designers to organize grades by using gallery sorting, hover scrubbing, match reference wiping, and timeline wiping tools.
DaVinci lets team members collaborate on tasks remotely, access comments, and synchronize annotations via third-party integration with Frame.io. It also lets supervisors render, export, and share created video footages across external platforms, such as YouTube and Vimeo.

Being able to collaborate on a project with my team on the cloud its one of the greatest ways to save time and improve efficiency.
Pros
Great color grading features, cloud collaboration, automatic saves, low price and no subscriptions.
Cons
Syncing videos and audio is a headache. Also relinking clips and other files after moving them in your computer is kind of annoying. Lastly it requires a great transition if you are a long-term Adobe Premiere Pro user.

DaVinci Resolve, the all in one.

I started using DaVinci Resolve because I was starting to run out of space on my hard drive due to the storage being taken up by the software I was using and the size of the files they were creating. When I started using DaVinci Resolve I realized that I couldn't put it down again, and although I occasionally go back to using some software that I used in the past, it is true that DaVinci is superior in many aspects, and no, I am not exaggerating. It's easy to use, easy to implement and very, VERY cheap if you want to use the studio version, because yes, on top of everything, DaVinci has a very complete version that is FREE
Pros
In davinci resolve it's much easier for me to implement all the functions that I need to edit or create a video.
For example, whereas before I needed to "process" my video into montage, editing, colorization, and special effects creation using different programs, with DaVinci Resolve it's as easy as flicking from one tab to another.
Not long ago I made a 3D title in DaVinci 50% faster than I did using 3 or more programs.
Cons
To be honest, DaVinci is very close to being perfect, seriously, it even seems like such an unreal program because of the number of functions it implements.
Perhaps sometimes this software is limited since it implements functions that should be dealt with one software at a time, but with time and discipline it's possible to perfectly master the virtues and the few defects that may arise.

Good with color, bad to edit on.
Reviewed on 6/3/2023
Pros
The color functionally is great and I would recommend using this for color correction.
Cons
The editing though is abysmal, and simple things like speed ramping and key frames is overly complicated.

Pros
It's simple, Davinci Resolve is easy to use, I had 0 editing experience before Davinci resolve and it honestly was a cake walk to get started. I recommend this product to ANYONE that asks me about video editing, seriously, I tell everyone that even mentions video editing that this is the program to get.
Cons
honestly not much, there was one update that came along randomly where you couldn't right click the timeline anymore and click "split", which as any video editor knows, you need to do about 500 times every time you open any video project, had to google it, now you can only do it by pressing "ctrl+B", so that problem was solved in about 2 seconds, but it would have been nice after the update if they took like the main components that they changed and add a little tip box next to it "hey, this thing that you have to do all the time, you can't do it like you did anymore, this is the new way", I just got in there after the update and just couldn't start my project until some random guy online let me know why splitting clips didn't work anymore.Extremely specific, just giving something that I least liked just to give one, but as you can see, that's literally nothing, the product is fantastic.

My experience with Resolve has been 110%. Around Resolve, I have been able to develop myself into a professional video creator to earn a second stream of income. And all the feedback I have ever gotten from clients about work I have done with Resolve have been positive. Finally, considering I have only worked with free versions over multiple updagrades, I really have nothing but praise.
Pros
Da Vinci Resolve is an extremely comprehensive product and offers an unbelievable range of utility and functionality. What I found most amazing was how intuitive it was. Unlike other professional video software, you don't get particularly overwhelmed on your first attempt if you've only previously worked with amateur software. The interphase is neatly designed to tuck away all the advanced tools and features just within reach as you progress, but not so upfront that you get overcome. Also, for a program whose free version far outperforms paid versions of its competitors, the amount of guidance resources and free tutorial material readily available is awesome.
Cons
The installation process can be quite tedious. They could improve it by automating the entire process. Available plugins for additional features could also be better packaged. But honestly, compared to how great the product is, I feel like these minuses are quite petty. Haha
