After reading the list of features, this sounded like an application that would be fun for a hobbyist like me to tinker with. Then, I saw the prices and realized it’s untenable.
- capableweb 5y agoDid you happen to miss the part where it says there is a free version available? It doesn't get much cheaper than that.
- cebert 5y agoI did miss that initially. Being new to DaVinci, it’s still a little unclear to me what all the packages listed at the bottom of the page offer vs the free offering.
- capableweb 5y agoPackages at the bottom is hardware for professionals (or at least semi-pros/serious hobbyists) who want a really streamlined hardware interface to the Resolve software. It's in no way needed to use or get good with the software, just helps when you want to move faster. The free offering is really generous compared to other video editing software, and you only need to upgrade if you want the software to really be able to take advantage of your hardware, or you have more specific needs.
