I first started fan editing on Shotcut, but when someone recommended Resolve to me, I gave it a try, and since then, I've never looked back. I will let you know ahead of time that it can be a little daunting at first, but there are plenty of videos on YouTube that come with some great explanations. Plus, the Help section on Resolve contains both a manual, and a link to some training videos to help get you started! So, all in all, yes, I recommend trying out Resolve if you haven't!I've mostly used Shotcut myself, which is good but a little prone to crashing (which has taught me to save obsessively, haha). But I've heard a lot of good things about Da Vinci Resolve, curious if anybody has any thoughts on that one.
Is it better than Vegas for $30? Serious question...As a cinematographer/editor I can tell you the free version of DaVinci Resolve is hands down the best free video editing software out there.
I don't use Vegas but I know many a great editor on here that does. DaVinci will let you customize it so if you are used to a certain work flow you can kinda replicate it. But I'm still learning and bouncing between it and my other software.Is it better than Vegas for $30? Serious question...
Yes, I believe so. The paid version is an absolute beast. The free version has 90% of the paid versions features. You can edit, do pro level fx, and mix audio all with pro level interfaces and features.Is it better than Vegas for $30? Serious question...
