*I realize I skipped over mentioning the color page when I talk about all of the different pages. I should have included it but I talk about some of the color features shortly after. The Color page is pretty much the biggest selling point of DaVinci Resolve.*
Color Page, Biggest selling point and the only selling point, because thats where the stability is. :)
Wrong.
Davinci Resolve by far performs the best. As of version 16 it has full GPU support which is not the case for adobe premier. Final Cut has GPU support but its not as good as Davinci Resolve.
I can't express enough how good the GPU support is in Davinci Resolve, It literally makes scrubbing, exporting, ext much faster than in either of the other two.
Davinci Resolve 16 is a no brainer.
You may not be wrong about Resolve having the best GPU support BUT what I said in the video about Final Cut is that it runs the best on the most range of computer powers. In order to get smooth playback and timeline scrubbing you’re talking about in Premiere you need a very powerful computer unless you stick to 720p or 1080p timelines. If you took a base MacBook Pro and throw 4K ProRes HQ files in a timeline final cut is going to perform vastly better than resolve on the same computer. You can easily find videos from Jonathan Morrison using 8K RED footage in final cut on a 12 in retina MacBook which is a 1.1ghz core m with no dedicated GPU. If I tried to use resolve on that computer it probably wouldn’t even open the project with major lag of crashing lol. Again I love resolve and it’s my favorite NLE but it’s not better on every computer.
@@initialfocus You should install the latest version of Resolve on a laptop with no dedicated GPU and turn on the GPU support.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised, It will utilize the integrated GPU available and perform respectably even with 4k footage.
Integrated GPUs from intel and AMD are pretty powerful these days.

Alright man you peaked my interest too much! Grabbing my wife’s base MacBook Pro 13” from 15 and seeing how it performs!
Best video editor is the one that crashes the least. done!
so true so true
so not sony vegas...
@@ripzee oh god
so... final cut ?
I’ve never had premier crash on me personally
Just looking to get into the video editing world, and this video is the best I've found breaking down the big 3. Awesome video! Thank you so much!
Great video! Very concise and clear, and objective too. Super easy to follow, well paced, and a great explanation. Thanks!
Thank you for such a great rundown of the options. I went to film school 20 years ago when Avid was the thing. Have a new feature doc in the can and struggling to figure out what to use. Resolve looks awesome and giving it a try.
Came here looking for effect plugins...stuck around just to hear you talk. Good stuff. Subbed.
Thanks for your review michael. I'm researching editing software and this has helped a bunch! I'll be giving FCPX a try
Very good video! I’d like to mention that one big advantage of fcpx is that you don’t need to save anything at all, so if it would crash, you still won’t lose anything.
That’s such an amazing feature. Any editor knows the frustration of a software crash. I’ll add that Davinci actually has this feature too! Except for some dumb reason it’s turned off by default. Going into settings you’ll see “live save” and it’s the same thing as final cut. Should be default but hey it’s there!
@@initialfocus thanks for that... I am moving from FCPX to Resolve and that was one of the two things that bugged me about Resolve
Filmora does it too
@@alllifehacks5800 Filmora auto save on as default, while davinci is off as default
@@JAmediaUK Resolve has live-save now
Thank you so much for a clear and honest comparison of these 3 softwares long time premier pro user might have to switch
Great video and insights into each of the video editing software for a beginner. 👍
This is the best comparison I've seen of these 3 NLE's. Thank you so much :)
Thank you for watching! :)
Congrats Michael. Great video and extremely balanced perspective and delivery. 👏👏
I’ll be trying out Resolve soon. I’ve been on FCP for 10 years, even through the disastrous launch of FCPX, and I love it for exactly what you pointed out, but the color grading on resolve seems miles ahead
Great overview video!
Nicely explained! Big ups
Thank you!
Very well explained and unbiased. You deserve many more subscribers.
Just one improvement I think should be made: The BGM happened to become a little too loud for me at times throughout the video
Awesome opinions, thanks !
Thank you for the info brother!
Thanks Mike. Very informative. I'm gonna try Resolve 16
Your video cleared my doubts. Thanks!
Love your fair report, sounds honest,, I'm new to the You Tube world,,,I have a lot to learn,,Clarity, Content and good Editing are TOPs,,thank you
Now with apple silicon, the optimization for final cut pro is amazing.
same for Davinci Resolve
@@SNORKYMEDIA True
@@SNORKYMEDIA but there isn't an M1 workststion yet, and only Resolve works in Linux, so it would probably be best if you want to use the same software on multiple machines.
@@brettknoss486 They now have M1 iMac
A few months on from your posting, I’m guessing you’re pretty much on Resolve now or using it as much as possible? Nothing at all against the other two being compared, but I think whether comparing price, features or general performance (GPU optimization in Resolve) the choice is pretty clear by now for most who do try them all. The main thing for me other than the industry standard color page is there is no round-tripping needed or jumping in and out of other apps - it’s all there from start to finish in DR. Good video on this and the points you made were well thought out and presented. Thanks.
I have had Apple computers for 15 years so I use FCPX. Interesting information you mention about Resolve and Premiere, thanks for your tutorial.
Dude, thank you for this. I've been using iMovie for several years but really want to upgrade, so I've been on the fence between Final Cut Pro and DaVinci Resolve. You mentioned that Final Cut doesn't do upgrades that often, so that kinda makes me lean towards Resolve.
So, how you doin with resolve ?
Bought FCPX + Motion + Compressor when I bought my first iMac. Bought the stand-alone CS5, 5.5 then C6 with EVERY app on it. Finally, I have been on Creative Cloud (full programs) + Adobe Stock. I feel I have done the marathon… lol. Your points about Da Vinci et al were very convincing. Your presentation has now thrown my mind into a massive “Analysis Role”. I don’t know whether to thank you or curse you. Either way, GREAT job.
Very very good explain! Thank so much! :)
Watching thru this now! I’ve subbed
Loving the explanation! What do you use on the daily now? I love premiere but I don’t have official version at the moment my channel is so small I can’t justify paying for it yet!
My main editor is Resolve. Some clients prefer I use final cut or premiere so I have all 3 technically. My opinion is to start on free Resolve. By the time you run into roadblocks you should be able to justify the studio price if you like it! Thanks for checking it out!
Nice review !
Good info. Thank you)
What a legend only one ad in the beginning . Your so damn underrated
Very well said manh totally loved ua honesty ❤️💯
Thank you so much for your tutorials It went from 'nice tutoet science' to simple logic! You have a new subscriber
Thanks for a great video, so clear and concise and professional
Wow thanks so much for the compliment! Happy to know I’m improving and making quality content. Really appreciate the feedback.
great video my man
Every useful video . I’m currently using Premier Pro & was thinking to switch as it’s getting expensive. Now now I’m seriously considering switching to DaVinci . Thank you
Thank you. Insightful
Thank you for your honest opinion, you have made it much easier for me to decide what I need.
Happy to help! 🙌🏼
Which one did you end up with ?
Which one?
OMG moment was hilarious 😂👍 really nice, informative video! Thanks to you, I finally decided which program to start learning 🙏👏
Michael. Good comparison. Especially performance information regarding FCPX as I have a basic MBP and it didn't work well with Premiere. BTW the music at the end is stunning but the music during your talk was a bit too loud and distracting. Thanks for the vid.
I make motion graphics and recently got the Creative Cloud student subscription, so I switched to Premiere for the integration with After Effects, but I don't edit that often and most of my work is done in After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator
Thank you for the video and objectivity overall
You forgot to mention that DaVinci Resolve also works on Linux which is a complete game changer for a lot of people because you can get even better performance with Linux than you would with a Mac or Windows machine.
That's it. I'm going for Davinci Resolve
super dope... thanks
Awesome job on this video! It’s exactly what I was looking for. I’ve used premier pro years back when I used to edit videos in high school. Now that I’m trying to get back into it I wanted to look at other options since PP a subscription based software now and don’t want to paying forever, specially since I’m not making money with it any time soon. RESOLVE sounds like a great alternative 👍🏻
I think your this video is more clear and informative than any other videos related to this subject! I mean you have clearly explained about the 3 softwares !! Good job bro ! I’m downloading Davinci now ! 😊
I am also downloading today 😊
I downloaded it a week ago and I have to say not bad. I am still working on getting a hang on transitions but other than that wow
Great video. Still kinda unsure of whether to get FCPX or Resolve. Just downloaded Resolve and it seems pretty cool. Kinda leaning towards FCPX because I am one of the few that likes the magnetic timeline, but I also was pretty impressed with Resolve. They will just be used for CZcams videos with no advanced grading or anything.
Yo dope video man! I personally am a premiere pro guy. But I've been thinking about trying out some Final cut X again for fun. PS. maybe we need to film something sometime 👀
Keep up the great content
They all have fun features worth learning! And 100% man I’m down anytime!
I use Davinci Resolve 16. I did not like the reoccurring subscription costs of Premier pro. I also love the all in one editing software including the fast editing cut page
Nice video! It is funny how similar they are.
Great stuff! I’m thinking of paying the one off for Davinci studio as the studio version relies heavily on gpu. Gotta put that card to use lol
I am using free version and that also uses a single GPU. With rtx 2070 super never had any problem in terms of speed.
Highly informative and objective video. As a Re-recording mixer I was surprised when discovering that FCPX no longer can export OMF/AAF files. If this is true that would be a very big negative if you ever plan on having sound cut and mixed professionally. If you plan to do all of your sound within the application then that won’t be a problem. Hoping I can get confirmation on the OMF export. Perhaps the AAF is proprietary to Avid?
Thanks for the video Michael. I have recently started using DaVinci Resolve Studio 16 after I bought my BMPCC 6K. Great program after using iMovie.
You helped me out alot with this video thanks alot
I really appreciate your review on all three platforms. Nice job. I'm very interested in tapping into the CZcams community and becoming a content creator and looking to decided what will be my primary tool for editing. I've been editing in Premiere Pro for years but to your point, the resources required on the machines are vast and looking to get something that won't crash. Although, I haven't had an issue with Premiere Pro in a long time. I like what Resolve has to offer and I think it will only get better with time. Thanks again for your video.
good solid honest talk, thanks!
Great, Thanks for sharing dear.
Thanks for the vid Michael! I am curious if final cut x is good for adding animation or cool effects like adobe after effects?
Final cut by itself is not a VFX application just like premiere it has a sidekick type program to do that. Motion is Apple’s equivalent to After effects. That being said I’m not an expert in either of those two programs so I couldn’t speak to which has all the best features.
Cool review
Thanks awesome!
good job! i bet you are great at making s! good luck
Really respect and appreciate people like yourself who give their ti and expert knowledge so others can benefit and enjoy soft
Wow what an acNice tutorialevent! Best of luck for the rest of your future, I’m looking forward to being able to invest when I turn 21 in November!
Really interesting, thanks. I'm just starting out (again) with a YT channel for teaching English. I put a lot of dynamic text (but not too crazy fast) to show how to form or change grammar/vocabulary/pronunciation points. I use Premiere pro on a slowish PC and am finding the way of editing this to be slow and awkward. Should I be using After Effects to do this or would I be better of with DaVinci? Any comments gratefully received
Congrats on starting up your channel again! I wouldn’t recommend after affects for your workflow. After effects takes up more computer power and also would be extremely time consuming making text effects in after effects and them transferring them to premiere to use. I’d recommend downloading the free version of Resolve. Play with it for couple hours. Watch blackmagics intro to editing in resolve 16 video on their channel and see how you like it!
I use Adobe Premiere Pro because A. it comes in the CC suite and i need all of the other software that Adobe offers and B. I like the Adobe ecosystem and how all the programs work together
I wanted to switch to Resolve for editing, but I'm a beast at AE and not being able to hop into AE for basic stuff plus Resolve's editing shortcomings pushed me reluctantly back to Premiere.
Adobe sucks.
Completely agree. Aweso video
Thanks!
Thank you so much! This was helpful and I’m going with final cut pro
Thanks so much for making this video you did a fantastic job of explaining the differences. Think I’m gonna go with DaVinci 🤙
Awesome! I really appreciate the compliment. based on comments and popularity of this video I am so happy that it comes across and clear and informative!
michael tobin Absolutely! 🙌
8:50 Yeah That is Fixed in DR17, it has really cool and completely Customizable Titles, Transition and effects
Best soft soft Introduction Ever!!
I’ve recently started using Resolve because I love the color grading tools in it. I still use fcpx to create animated titles and lower 3rds because I have drag and drop packs and I don’t feel like building or buy them for resolve.
This is my life haha. I do all my editing, color, audio etc in resolve and then if tracked graphics, fancy titles or whatever are needed I export and go into to Final Cut. MotionVFX plug-ins are just too good!
michael tobin hahaha, I’m with you in that one. I never used mvfx much. I always knew of Pixel Film Studios.
And have you noticed the difference of low light exports in fcpx vs Resolve? The main reason I’m sticking with resolve is built in tracking, great NR, and when I export my low light videos in Resolve the are way cleaner that fcpx without NR.
exactly, i think profis learn how to combine the best of each one, and prioritize good compatibility
and export functions over all.
Thank you for your comparison. I switched from illegal Filmora to legal Resolve 16 1 month ago. Never use illegal software again. The resolve 16 free version was great!
Good video I’m new and gonna start with resolve after watching this.
I'm a final cut pro guy because to work in FCP is so easier simpler and faster.
Awesome insights :-)
Thank you!!
Thank you. Just got DaVinci 18 studio. It’s no 1for me
Nice sir!😇
Yessir. All the money I have invested in plugins has kept me with FCP. However, I've come to enjoy Resolve so much more. It's much better for me compared to Premiere. I can't stand the constant crashing and ridiculously long render times.
I started off on PP. I actually loved it and stayed with Adobe for years without ever wanting to learn other systems...that is until a few weeks ago. PP has been lagging and crashing incessantly recently, and each new update made it all worse. Yesterday, I finally had enough and tried out Resolve. I'm hooked!
Thanks for this. I’m new to mobile filmmaking but learning about color grading vlog2 Filmic Pro footage in 4k, so DaVinci seems to be the way to go. Do you know if there a noise reduction plug-in that will work with the free version?
Hey I’m sorry, I do not know of a third party noise reduction plugin that works in Davinci.
NICE !!
Well explained
I use Resolve for my BMP4K footage, but after trying to do a full rush video editing project, I longed to return to Premiere - although I hate Premiere. Just simple things like a full-screen timeline, masks, titles I could kill in AE because that's my thing, marker index (clear, not list form) and more unfortunately drove me back. But I do want to master Color in Resolve.
I use three editors, mainly.
I use Vegas Pro Edit for some things mainly for one particular fearure: automatic crossfades. It makes it easy to drag one video or audio clip to overlap another and it automatically sets the crossfade/dissolve to however long they overlap. The main complaint I have is the usual frequent crashes.
I also use Hitfilm. It's a bit like something like Premiere and After Effects rolled into one. I really like using it. The perpetual pricing of the pro version means that you get 12 months of updates, and if you decide not to renew for another year, you still get to keep using it, just without any further updates. They also used to offer a free Express edition, but now they've added a subscription model where Express is now the Free tier.
I have begun using DaVinci a lot more recently, and am becoming more snd more impressed, especially with some features like Fusion and the Power Bins. It may soon become my main editor, and am seriously considering getting a Studio license for the full feature set.
And the main thing: Davinci resolve has a.free version, which is HANDS DOWN Probably the best free video editor
Isn’t that basically iMovie for Final Cut Pro?
Nooooo lol iMovie is an extremely basic editing program. The free version of resolve shares like 95% of the same features that the paid one has.
@@initialfocus yea ig
@@initialfocus what difference between free one and studio 17?
@@GurmeetSingh-fr8uo other than hdr colour editing and a few different effects options, the really big difference is that, as far as I can tell, the free version of davinci doesn’t use the gpu at all, and instead relies completely on the cpu. This obviously bottlenecks performance a tonne, but I have still found it to be tolerable on my pc. It’s definitely not smooth, but it does the job
Would like to hear what you think of Videoproc Vlogger for a free video editing software....
DaVinci is my right tool then! Thanks.
Thanks so much! I'll start with DaVinci. It's free and it's the best in the game at color.
Great video. I've heard that Premiere is the "industry standard" (outside of Avid) and was under the impression that I'd have to switch over from FCPX, but after watching your video I feel like it makes sense to stay with FCPX and learn Resolve for my Black Magic footage.
Thanks! I’d definitely agree that Premiere is probably the most used outside of Avid in “Hollywood” level stuff but now days FinalCut and Resolve are just as professional and plenty of movies, shows and content is created with all of them so use what works for you :)
@@initialfocus That's really good to hear! I was not excited about paying $50/month.
Nice tutorial,
Working on the timeline. I have been using Shotcut and I have to do work around, which I don't like (its clunky, slower). Which one is easier workflow on the timeline - moving groups of clips around easily, cutting, shortening, etc? Thanks!
i was thinking about switching to resolve because ive beeen on premiere and resolve does look good, and i was looking for videos that said if its better than premiere but youre right, i should try it myself and see if its better for me so thanks!
yeah, work!!!
Using Vegas Pro and it is absolutely wonderful...at crashing and losing my edits, wasting my time and causing grief..Going to try Davinci.
thanks for this, I wanna jump into video eventually, this so intimidating, as I have No video editing experience. lol. Divinci free version is a good start. Wish me luck
In The setup yup that was my problem thanks a lot
I am ultimately going to be using Final Cut Pro for most of my videos on my main music channel, as I rarely upload to this one.
You forgot to mention one thing : you can't install final cut on a pc. DaVinci and premiere are made both for mac and pc. So mac are expensiv for what they are. You can have for the same price of a mac a killer pc machine. Anyway if you work with 4k or 8k you will work with proxy for editing, this workflow is used in film industry also corporate etc.. They are made for. It is funny to mention DaVinci, in 2015 I had a professionnal conference between video editors and we where speaking about the futur of Da Vinci for video editing, I tried it in a short moovie festival early this year, Da Vinci is really interresting but you still don't have a lot of tools you can find in premiere. To mention : i have used in a professionnal field final cut pro 7 for years (tv area), when final cut pro X released it was a desaster, 20 years ago, my first video editing software was premiere pro. To me premiere is better than what we had with final cut pro 7, a continuity.
I don't agree with you, not all softwares are the same, they all have their own logic, even for ediiting. I learned to edit trough Avid actually, with the 3 points editing system, because you have no other choice (almost). So yeah, I would say final cut pro X is like an entrance in video editing world, professionnally I work on every kind of projects, tv, cinema, documentaries, corporate with just premiere (every companies use it). Tools, tracking, effects are just so... Goood...
And for exemple, something you don't say too : you can "buy" premiere for a certain amount of time, if you need premiere for 3 months only, you can cancell your subscription.
I love to use DaVinci to create proxy, to relink after I finish to edit on premiere with proxy all the files with the RAW and DaVinci is a beast for color grading.
7:32 "Final Cut, it's made by Apple. Obviously it's only available on Macs." Also, I missed the part where he said "all softwares are the same". Probably because he never said it, he just pointed out similarities in their basic layout.
"And for exemple, something you don't say too : you can "buy" premiere for a certain amount of time, if you need premiere for 3 months only, you can cancell your subscription."
No kidding, it's not like you can do that with literally any monthly service or anything.
Your comment screams that you're an old guy who doesn't have a current understanding of all 3 platforms.
not an apple fan but the you should look at the videos about Resolve performance on the cheapest 8Gb M1 mini macs.....
