Davinci Resolve vs. Premiere Pro: Am I Leaving Adobe? | Jay Lippman Reviews

Try reaper for audio

Adobe has great software support. A lot of people shit on adobe for being buggy but if you contact them with a problem they will fix it for ya. That’s just my experience though with them. Photoshop 2019 was buggy for me yesterday so I’ve been using 2018 instead haha. Good video though keep up the good work!!

Another thing about resolve is that the free version using software encoding rather than take advantage of your CPU to encode something. Kinda weird but hey I get why they did that. I could be wrong though that’s just something I’ve heard.

I'm learning davinci resolve mainly because it has Linux support. Yeah sometimes i need to convert between formats but it just works. Smooth as butter!

I disagree with audition being the better software. You need to really explore fairlight it's amazing! And the plugins are serious especially for being free. Wow!

Yo dude you should do a video editing tutorial for Instagram profiles at it’s best quality using the Free daVinci Resolve.15 free version....I been trying to find the right editing sitting for Instagram profile videos.😊👊By the way this is my first video I saw of your channel.

hello what is the spec on your laptop??

I think your problems with Adobe were more hardware problems tbh.

Great comparative vid. I wonder how it compares to Hitfilm Express? Can’t remember if you used it before....I love it 😍

As a long term photographer late to video - I will say that the color controls in Davinci are MUCH better and MUCH more intuitive than PP CC. Switched.

I make templates for Fusion :) My R7 1700 with 16 GB of ram and RX 580 8 GB is quite enough for what I'm doing. Davinci Resolve is using all 16 threads when rendering.

What about Final Cut Pro

I don't understand English. What you use: DaVinci or Premiere Pro?

Why not use a video app on your phone to lock down your frame rate? Maybe I'm missing something about recording video on a phone?

so you couldn't film videos on your phone and edit them on DaVinci Resolve?

My Mac air can't handle all the Adobe stuff either. Tried the free trial but had to remove. Have to do a fresh install before i can look at installing Davinci. Use a website WeVideo which works great! Great video!! 😃😎

Seriously looking at DaVinci as a Premiere replacement. Hoping that they roll out some updates that maybe fix up some of the sync issues. I tried it a couple years ago and it totally bogged down. Super Skippy with footage and made it impossible to edit. Hoping that this install on a better laptop will work smoother. Seems like files need to be converted to ProRes to edit smoothly, at least from the 30 seconds 9f research I did. Liked your video, will definitely be back for more info.

Im currently agonizing over what editing software to use. I have a macbook pro and currently using Premiere CS6. I tried Final Cut Pro and its way faster on this machine. I've also tried Resolve, but not seriously. After watching your video i'm going to give Resolve another chance before I commit to CC. Thanks!!

I start using davinci today, and i make great work in only one hour, it's easy and amazing

You realize for this entire comparison all I saw was your face? Seriously talk about unwatchable. Why not (as an idea) show us you using the two software under discussion. I tell you ! This is what annoys me with channels with low subs, you must make better vids. Editing since 20 what? I can see that

This angle makes your arms look really short

Jay, there is NO computer to handle Adobe software. Absolutelly none. Once uppon a time (3 years ago) I had 3th best computer possible to assemble on planet. Still Adobe Premiere Pro and Lightroom and Audition never run great (not even smooth). If I tell people that Premiere (audition, AfterFx, Lightroom, Photoshop, ...) software are all 10+ years old and just updated (not rewritten), that it is obvious whay it works ever worse with each version. As much I loved Premiere 1, 1.5 and 2, I hated 3, accepted 4, skipped 5 and 5.5, exhaled at CS6 (still the best to date) and than started to downspin with CC until I give it up in 2018 for DavinciResolve.

Premiere can still eccept everything on the same timeline - but at penalty. To pull maxed out quality Premiere is anything but simple tons of problems and glacier speed when mixed formats, framerate and effects are used on same timeline. It was just not acceptable in 2018 that I returned to 2008 workflow which was transcoding everything to Cineform, than do plain editing, than make certain effects, than export everything, than do multicamera edits and than exporting that and grade in Davinci. Ughh. And machine consisting of all SSD's, boat load of 4-channel ram, top tier GPU, 6-core CPU, ... While Davinci enables me everything in ONE program that dynamic link always promised but never quite delivered.

I loved CoolEdit Pro, Adobe instantly thrown away all colors and colorfull icons, so dumbing down GUI, and than ruined performence after CS3, than progressivelly making GUI worse and worse. It is stupid to have visual cue AFTER mouse is hovered to some option instead of PRIOR to spot it easyer. Another issue is all buttons being flat and monochrome. Having a row of options some on some off, you never know what is on and what is off. Not isolated to Adobe, but all big names software houses that want to be FASIONABLE is this flat, monochrome look - a.k.a. clean look. Who the F*** wants that apart from noobs? Noobs think that is professional look and they are unfortunatelly in huge majority. In reality NO professional gear (let say video switcher on broadcasting TV station) is NOT consisting of endless white buttons, none audio mixer is consisting of all dark grey knobs on black board, but they all have as bright colours as possible to be easylay differetiated. So why software should be different? Good professional user oriented programs do exactly that. Davinci not perfect but miles better than Premiere ever was or will be.

Similar boat. This month I’m going to give DR a fair shake. Not sure what I can replace Lightroom with though.

JayAreTV is freakin' amazing with his tutorials. Some of the stuff that guy does just blows me away. I've only started video editing a couple of months ago, but REALLY glad I found Resolve. It's awesome.

Great video that shines a ton of light of questions I had. Also looking to upgrade my laptop here shortly, any recommendation?

Dude, this was the clearest, best tutorial I've seen on this topic. Thanks for making this!

Does Resolve 16 work any better with variable frame rate video?

Welcome to adobe freedom, where nodes rule, not monthly fees

I came here due to huge disappointment and discrimination from Adobe. Croatia is a part of EU for years now and we can't buy their software from their page, which is more expensive than DaVinci Resolve but for 53$ per month you don't get just Premiere Pro and After Effects but Illustrator and Photoshop which are always useful, but instead a special authorized retailer which sells their All included without Adobe Stock for just above 6000 HRK plus VAT which is 25% so customers from Croatia buy their software for 1240$ ... that is double the amount for rest of the EU costumers.

Your review is much appreciated. Hvala :)

Remember me your 966:th Subscriber, When you’re at 1 million

Fab balanced appraisal. Thanks for that. Love this cross platform software.

Freakin great video dude, I’m actually going to download Davinci today. You said you had an older computer? Can I ask what you edit with? I’m using a 2011 Mac book air.....the struggle is real 😂

Did you say free? Well I got to check that out! 😂😂😂

Ohh-Rah!

Can someone please give me advice? I do mostly music videos and switching from FCPX to either DR16 or premiere pro and want to know which is better for music videos? I am mostly concerned about color correcting / grading options and editing multi cam clips quickly and in perfect sync to the beat of the song. I have an iMac pro 10 core with 16gigs of graphic ram as well as 64 gigs of cpu memory. I was looking at premiere pro and possibly getting film convert. Currently shoot on 1DXMARKII and EOSR for cameras but possibly looking to use Sony A7iii or Black Magic Pocket Cinema 4K which comes with the full version of resolve so that’s appealing as well. I want the easiest work flow using one app if possible unless it’s faster and better results to use separate apps. What do you recommend??

Great video! I want to draw attention to your intro...I love a good metal riff as much as the next guy, but a lot of intros I've heard have it cranked up so loud, I won't even watch the video! But you my friend have done a great job of sound design here!

I appreciate the information you shared in this video. I've just built a new editing machine and haven't decided whether I want to go back to using premiere or switching over to DaVinci resolve myself. I haven't edited in a long time and with all the good things I've heard about DaVinci resolve (you can't beat the price) I want to give it a shot.

I look forward to watching your tutorials on DaVinci and you're right about the white space. I hope that I'll get up to speed in order to do some tutorials myself. Good luck!

What computer do you have?? Specs

sir which laptop do you use?

Havn't tried davinvi resolve on a slower older computer but it also seems great for fully using a powerfull machine as well especially when it comes to multi core/thread cpus

You convinced me. I'm getting DaVinci Resolve.

Im gonna download the free versión today, i have premiere pro now, do you know of a good video converter I can use so I can finish editing in davinci resolve?

amazing man , I m thinking to leave premiere pro hhh

Enjoyed the video! I agree the color processing is much more intuitive on Resolve. Also it is much faster to render. I think the audio did what I wanted it to do. I did run into issues of clips moving around in Resolve unexpectedly but that might have been my lack of experience with it. One other thing is Resolve runs on linux which I haven't tried yet but I like that option as a linux fan. I saw another video there they mentioned that they created a workflow where a linux box handled the rendering. Finally there is the price...the adobe suite is expensive but I do like the integration of all their tools. Thanks again for a fun informative video

so is his the first pro channel that started the great exodus? 😁

Hey Jay, thanks for the vid. I haven't been able to find much information on using cellphone footage with Davinci. You mentioned it's a hassle, perhaps some more info on this topic? Perhaps a video?
