I was a Premiere user, switched to Davinci Resolve a few years ago, and never looked back. I still wonder why such a great piece of software is free. There's a learning curve though - nothing serious, but I had to put in a couple of hours to learn how to do things I used to do in Adobe Premiere.

There's a paid version too, but I doubt anyone who's not making REAL money from editing ever needs it.

Retired a paid Vegas install for Resolve. It is quite feature packed. And the learning curve wasn't bad. I also like that it's backed by a hardware company so they aren't incentivized to gate a lot behind the paid version.

My impression has been that it's "a rising tide buoys all ships" sort of perspective: having more people creating drives more Black Magic hardware purchases and the upgraded software (which is quite reasonably priced).

I will go months between making videos, having a monthly subscription is painful when I'm not using it.
