It’s Top of the Line Editing and Color Finishing Software

Ok, so here goes, the harsh truth…all the 1 star reviews have little to no idea what they are doing. This is not your “oh I see it in the app store, I’ll add some filters and make my game videos l33t” In all honesty it’s not really intended for the app store…yeah it’s free, and it’s an app...

Know now before even getting started that this is professional level software and it’s learning curve reflects that. I’ve been using Resolve now for about 4yrs and it’s a extremely complicated piece of software. Because it does an extremely complicated job. There was a reason it used to cost $100k for a full setup. Also being professional level software it has VERY specific system requirements. Since it’s at home editing and color finishing 6K RED footage it’s not a simple import and export app. You have to know what you are doing. BlackMagicDesign has done very well in the last few versions in streamiling the workflow and making it much more accessible.

Sorry to put it this way, but if you don’t know what Resolve is, you probably shouldn’t download it. All the complaints about it being buggy, not working, crashing computer are probably using hardware that is clearly listed in the compatibility guide.

Look up the compatibility list on BlackMagicDesign and if you want to give it a shot, go for it. It’s an amazing piece of software that used to cost more that a luxery car. It is most certainly not buggy, etc etc…it’s just that they don’t kow how to use it.
