If you don’t know what DaVinci is then this isn’t any use to you because it’s an industry specific application. It’s a little like how Docker or git doesn’t need explaining to (non-junior) engineers.

I’m very surprised to see DaVinci make the front page on HN but also very glad too.

That's not very helpful... people come here to learn about new things. Maybe it wouldn't be of any use to them, but it's clearly something that piqued their curiosity.

[hnlmorg]

Others have already explained what that product is so I didn’t need to do that however they hadn’t explained why the site isn’t more specific. So I was addressing the GPs criticism about why that site doesn’t explain what DaVinci is.

Anyone that has taken a mild interest in video editing will encounter DaVinci right away in "top 10 list of video editors". You're talking about this as if it's some hidden industry tool.

I'm also the most modest person in the world.

[hnlmorg]

I wasn’t suggesting it’s an hidden industry tool. If I were I wouldnt have compared it to git and Docker. You’re reading far too much into my comment and I’m really not in the mood for a character assassination today (full of cold) so I’ve deleted most of the detail and stripped my post back to the bare minimum. Don’t expect a follow up reply

I don't think the GP is talking about what DaVinci is, but what the *plugin* does. I find myself in the same shoes as the GP here. Maybe I'm not the target market of course but I was just curious.

[kristiandupont]

I know what DaVinci is and even a bit about film and the film look and I would still like what GP is suggesting.

I'm a senior engineer and I don't know anything about Docker.

[somnic]

I get your point, and maybe as someone who's not part of said industry I'm missing something, but it seems like it'd be helpful even to the target audience to actually show how this plugin can transform video.

It may not be of any use but its still of interest to many people that some kind of explanation would be useful
