@@ourtexasfamilyvideos62I don’t see them going to subscription. The paid version is worth buying but more importantly they make more from their hardware sales
I was using Vegas Pro for 15 years.. Jumped over to Premiere and was totally wrecked after learning a lot to only quit Premiere Pro because of the crashes... Now I'm in love in With Resolve...
My experance with Davinci Resolve crashing usually is computer dependant, meaning something on the 2017 imac i am forced to use at my full time job happens and the program seems to lock up usually its from lack of resources. At home i have never had an issue with Resolve crashing vs Premiere crashing on my new macs M2 Pro and M2 MacBook air. I was forced to move to Resolve in my full time job, as stated above, the old mac I Premiere stopped working on it for reasons unknow to me and its not worth the effort to trouble shoot it. Over all working in Resolve has forced me to learn new things and new ways to film things. Color correction and grading just makes sense and I do not think I will go back to premiere for editing. Keep up your fine work @whoismatt I enjoy the videos.
It’s interesting that you compare the 2 from a perspective of a film maker.. I can see video editors trying to decide between the 2 but as a film maker, the choice should be pretty easy. Resolve is for you. Color grading is very important to film makers and nothing color grades better than Resolve. Their whole color base system is leagues above the rest.
Not sure why, but my premiere only crashes a few times per YEAR. And now Premiere improved its backup, and should open where we were. A good media and cash management is the key. I also use Resolve and it also crashes... maybe less times but it does, and sometimes it also has a slow playback, not sure why. Both have pros and cons. But the fact that in Resolve I can't select multiple timelines to export is crazy. I work with big projects where sometimes I need to export 300+ timelines... now imagine setting them up on a queue list one by one ahah nuts. Hope they solve that soon
Just a heads up Premiere Pro has gotten better with saving your project when it crashes they had a update and ever since anytime Premiere Pro crashes it starts back from where it left off not losing anything. Since you been using DaVinci Resolve you may not know that but the latest updates from Premiere Pro fixes that problem.
For me, the #1 reason I ditched Premier is because of it’s subscription platform that charges WAAAAAY too much! I’ve been enjoying the one-time payment to Resolve and I’m never going back.
I very much appreciate the fact-based analysis. Most videos on this topic revolve around complaining about Adobe, subscriptions, etc, etc. Your relatively undiased take is very insightful, as well as helpful. Thank you!
I started with adobe, then Final Cut and currently on DaVinci. I'm buying the Studio Version but the free version is super valid too. Premiere is so more expensive. The only thing I miss from Premiere is the possibily to manage the windows and position them as I want, but otherwise my workflow with davinci is a thousand times better and all the functions are exactly where you think they should be.
I most def gotta learn DaVinci Resolve. I've been using it for the week or so, and I love it. It gives me more of a Sony Vegas Pro vibe in the way of the timeline and how easy it is to figure things out.
I'm certified in After Effects and I love the Fusion page! I can do majority of what I did on After Effects on Fusion. I also like that, unlike AE, I don't have to download a plugin to export 3D cameras into Blender. I just use the FBX exporter to export from Fusion to Blender.
It really can't be overstated how similar editing is in both Resolve and Premiere. Aside from a few keyboard shortcuts (which can be modified) and the more customizable layout of Premiere, the actual workflow of editing is largely the same in both programs. It's not really until you get into motion graphics and color where they diverge substantially. I think being able to render videos in a separate app and continue working is an advantage, but that's not something I really ever consider doing as the render process can utilize so much of the system's resources. It's kind of hard to continue working on an edit while my CPU and GPU are blasting away working on a render. I'd rather just let it do its thing and go do something else. But that's just me
I feel like I’m the only person who doesn’t experience frequent crashes on Premiere. It used to crash all the time but since using an M1 Ultra MacBookPro for the last few years I can’t even remember the last crash. I keep trying to switch but Adobe are giving me more reasons to stay, remix, enhanced audio and a few minor things I’m just used to. I want to switch so I can take advantage of editing on the Mac and IPad but always seem to come back to Premiere. I’ve been using DaVinci on and off for 8 or so years and the improvements are incredible and the software I suggest new editors to learn as it’s free and I think it will be the standard at some point soon. I probably just need to follow my own advice 🤷♂️.
Switched to resolve a few years ago and it’s the best decision I’ve made for my editing workflow. I know that premier will catch up but it would take a lot for me to switch at this point since Resolve is so convenient and they are always improving.
You Make some excellent points, one point you did not mention is DaVinci Resolve lets you set up you keyboard to match Premier Pro, However never have used Premier pro I do not know how effective that option is.. Your videos a very comprehensive thank you for sharing your time and talent !
The last time I used it, there was no way to export an mp4 with 320kbps audio, I think 192 was the highest you could select, and it sounded like something between 96 and 128. The only way to get good audio, at that time anyway, was to export as an MOV and have uncompressed audio. I wonder if that same problem remains.
Matt, you're incorrect about PP's saving feature during crashes. Every time PP has crashed on me in the last couple versions, its autosaved right up until the moment it crashed. Ive never lost a single moment. Ive been very impressed with it.
You mentioned that DaVinci is lacking in respect to not being able to render and work at the same time. But it's great to know that DaVinci renders faster at least :-) also Adobe is so buggy I would be scared to do too much work while rendering. For example, for over a year now Photoshop makes my computer crash when I'm rendering a video simultaneously. And I have a very robust system. It's crazy the bugs that come with Adobe
Davinci's crashes are for sure less frequent and dramatically less catastrophic. As you said, you simply re-open and you're exactly where you left off. Sometimes I am back up and running within 15-20 seconds. With Premiere, it has to take you through the most annoying step of all time "we will attempt to save your project" (which never ever ever actually works) but then it also forces you to save a copy of the project file which also makes new project folders for auto saves and cache. So over the course of a video you're making, if Premiere crashes multiple times, then the amount of crap data that piles up in your hard drive is absurd. Couldn't be more happy I left for Resolve at version 16.
one thing that made me go back from resolve to premiere is the syncing audio, in premiere is really easy to do when you have multiple cameras and audio files, in resolve i couldnt sync for exemple one big video file with multiples audio files, it was a nightmare to sync "parts" of the video and audio files cos i only could sync the whole file, couldnt sync parts of it direct in the timeline as i can in Premiere, but this was i think when i used the resolve 16 or 17, not shure, dont know if the fixed that on the last version
Wait a minute I have a PC that I built that is a beast and I have issues with premier crashing and being buggy as hell. I didn't know it was even worse on a Mac! Wow
Before switching to Mac I used premiere on my pc that ai built(really powerful) and premiere always crashed then i switched to Davinci which helped a lot. Now on Mac it barely crashes. 1 thing I would love Davinci to have is the remix option to extend background music.
LOL, fun fact, I'm still using PP CS5. It was the last version I purchased. I am using DaVinci full time now though. It's pretty cool, I just can't get used to the 'nodes'.
On a custom PC here and I had a ridiculous amount of crashes in PP! Got so sick of it I bought Davinci without even trying it. It's so much more solid and the color page alone is enough for me to never go back. I've been very happy with my switch and I've been on PP since like 2008.
filming my first wedding editing with premier pro. multicam 4k canon footage in long gop is tough to edit without crashes. Premiere Pro crashes And opens Right back up now. There really is no loss of time. I don't know what Adobe did but it seems to be fixed.
I still use premiere only because I’m used to it, but I’ve started purchasing software that will allow me to cut my subscriptions. I spent a year on Resolve Free when I couldn’t afford Adobe straight out of college, and it is a fantastic piece of software. I bought the Studio version. The only thing really keeping me around at this point are lightroom and photoshop. I’m trialing the use of Darkroom for iOS, and once Apple updates their supported camera raw file list to include the newer Sony cameras, I should be good to go. I’ve got a few more months left on my Adobe contract, so I’ll keep it around.
Premiere Pro has a new auto save feature for crashes. Lately every crash my work has been regardless of whether I hit save or premiere auto saved in the program.
I sort of agree about the Media Encoder thing but there's so many problems with ME that I don't blame them for abandoning the idea of a standalone solution.
Adobe separates all the programs so they can rip you a new a****** and drain your bank account for all your f****** money because they are life sucking m************ that need to be taken down! Sorry that's my Adobe Shadow speaking
Not as robust as adobe's trash that crashes and has too many features that you'll never use that they force you to pay for every month so they can keep adding more features when they can't even get the most basic ones right.
Made the switch in 2023 and have not yet looked back. I've become a faster and more efficient editor. My biggest issue with Davinci is their audio tools, in particular the auto-synch by waveform. I find myself having to synch audio manually much more often than Premiere.
May have to take this course! i havent switched bc every tutorial i see is for people who only shoot 3 clips and spend 20 mins color grading each of them. I dont see how the workflow could be possible for event shooters.
In the last update premiere got this recover from crashes i got some crashes and power loss on my computer and the premire got me back right where i was in my editing
One important difference is the UI personalization, DaVinci can't be optimized or used on a small monitor, it's just impossible to work, but in premiere you can adjust to vertical video or hide every other panel and focus only for the one you arr working for, like editing audio...
I have no doubt Davinci is my favorite program for editing my wedding videos...The only gripe and thing I miss Premier Pro is the Plural Eyes link import which works so well and helps me sync my files without a problem. On DR on the other hand multicam intimidates me and time time-consuming as sometimes the Auto Sync function is grayed out or not even there and the file system arrangement in the Master Bin just makes things worse 😮💨. I need a tutorial that can help me understand that part otherwise everything else I love the flow. I too have an AMD custom-made PC and crushes are things I hardly get only if I do heavy graphics but am cool.
Any idea why or how premiere does not have any denoise option by default? BTW I did not have any crash in both these softwares for s few months now. On m1 mac studio
If you could give me a proper file to import into DaVinci that will give me the same Adobe keyboard shortcuts I could probably transition right away. Please tell me you have this and you will give it to us. Everything I do in premier is so second nature without thinking that every time I go into DaVinci I'm like I don't want to figure this out. And the last time I tried to get into DaVinci I realized I can add Adobe shortcuts but for some reason the one they have available is trash. So I would have to manually reconfigure it or something. Surely somebody has already done this properly and can just give it to us so we can jump right in. I spend so much time on the computer editing the last thing I want to do is try to fiddle around and make DaVinci resolve work for my old brain lol
I'm quite an advanced premiere pro user and my only issue with trying out resolve deeply is that it might get annoying when I wanna do something that is straightforward in premiere but takes an extra click in resolve..I take those kinds of things pretty seriously lol. and also plug-ins that I use in premiere. I'm not sure if there will be an equivalent in resolve
I've noticed not having an encoder in Resolve doesn't do anything to slow down my project. Premiere is missing a VFX package. If you want to have After Effects and Premiere Pro together, you're spending about $46/month to do so. Way more expensive than the one time cost of $295 for the studio version of Resolve. As far as crashes go, I've had that happen twice since I started using Resolve with version 14.2. I use the Mac version of Resolve. Most issues/bugs in Resolve tend to fall on the Windows version. Resolve was originally designed for Mac. And like many programs, programs tend to work better in the OS they were originally designed for. I see that with most programs, not just Resolve. Because of this, I stay on Mac when working in Resolve. In the past two years plus, I've heard more stories of people switching to Resolve from Premiere than visa versa. I've heard more people complaining about their projects lagging in Premiere the larger the project gets. I've worked with Adobe After Effects and Premiere. I'm sticking with Resolve.
The one thing I find really annoying in Resoilve is no guide lines that you can just easily drag out. The grid on an adjustment clip option sucks. Other than that I love it
What about covering if you’re a very pro editor in Premiere Pro, is it really worth it to learn Resolve and the pretty much have the same results in the end?
I said Goodbye to Adobe 3 years ago and by that time switched to Mac with the new M chips and the change was astronomical, in 3 years Rosolve have crashed like 4, it does works better on a Mac for sure, best decision ever, I don't miss Premier at all
It might just be me, but Adobe has made HUGE strides when it comes to crashes within Premier over the past year or so. It has also gotten much better about recovering at/close to where it crashed for me, esp on my MacBook. My PC still has its moments but I've held off paying for Davinici simply because it feels like Adobe has started to listen to our complaints with recent updates. Also because I pay them way too much money every month and will likely continue to do so even if I switch video editing software XD
For weddings adobe premiere is the best, the interface is friendly, especially when you work with two monitors. At davinci, the multi cam part is weak, many did not understand how to work in multi cam. I tried davinci, it has some shortcomings in the editing compared to the premieres and it annoys me that I have to change the timeline mode, depending on what I want to do. I repeat, for weddings.
What timeline mode do you have to change in Resolve? I've been using Resolve since v14.2, and I haven't had to change the "mode" of the timeline. Whatever that means.
I'm pretty happy with fcpx I feel like I've almost mastered everything I need from workflow & even colors & droppers. I don't feel like I'm missing anything because non of my work has heavy effects aside from transitions. Is there any fcpx veterans that can convince me DaVinci is worth a spin? Are the color tools really so great? Once I learned the secret sauce with color match I can't see how DaVinci is leagues above? Am I missing out. Everytime I watch a yt video on the colors I lose interest any good content creators you suggest watching?
I loved this. As a user of Premiere Pro since the old 6.0 (pre-CS) days and a user of Davinci Resolve since the 18.1 days, I'd like to add an additional advantage of DR over PP... documentation. Let's compare... Premiere Pro documentation. What's that you say? "What documentation?" Davinci Resolve documentation (at least with the for-pay Studio version: a 4,032 page pdf that comes with each installation of a each update... and the size keeps getting bigger!): free. What's that you say? Free? As someone else has said: "Free means free. Free-free-free-free-free!" Plus free pdf user manuals for Basic editing, Fusion, Color and Fairlight. Free on the Blackmagic Support web page. Free-free-free-free-free.
I run a four camera podcast and find PP can lag even on M1 Max machine but concerned with comments below re DR performance for multicams, audio syncing and audio bit rate limits. Any thoughts welcome 🙏
I am in that process with same requirements and find the sync bin functionality to be quite a study with speed editor. But its mostly fun as long as deadlines are not to demanding, in a few weeks I expect the problems to be history. Very happy for the switch from Premiere.
Great video especially for those who have heard the Reaolve whispers over the last few years but not taken the time to look into it thoroughly. 🤘 Anytime you'd like to show off more fusion tun stuff I'd love to collaborate 🤘
I mean, why would you pay Adobe over and over and over and over and over and over when you don't have to because you're using DaVinci already? Like as soon as I can get away from Adobe I'm going to do everything I can to bash them and stay away forever!
I just think it's criminal with Adobe is doing almost it feels like it anyways, they've got to be making an astronomical killing compared to the makers of DaVinci yet something that's essentially free is just as good? It's insane! And the reason why I feel like it's criminal is because once you get into adobe's too deep it's really hard to get out. At least it was hard for a very long time, but thankfully it seems that has changed
Hey Matt, what’s your take on editing speed in large projects? My PP projects tend to get laggy by the time I’m near the end with hundreds of clips, lumetri color, warp stabilizer, etc. Do you see a difference in Resolve?
I tried premiere and i hated it. The subscription is also a joke to me. Davinci resolve really is better in almost every way and its a one time paymen!
Renting premiere for the rest of my life has zero appeal to me. That being said, if you are thinking of getting a black magic camera most of them come with a free studio license, I wish I had known that before buying studio
Premiere PRO 2024 is a joke. I’ve never seen such a bad update. The software gets slower and slower, timeline is not responsive for big projects. Even some tech guy from Adobe couldn’t give a real explanation. So yeah they have good AI and features, but Resolve is way smoother and faster and deffo more stable ! Tests I made on both software were run on Mac Mini M2, MB Pro m3 and Mac Studio. Diff macOS, diff configs, but the same bugs always came in at some point. Premiere is not yet optimized to professionally work on big features, documentaries or whatever and it´s a shame considering the amount it costs. Resolve is the way nowadays.
