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.
- varun_ch 4y agoThat'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 4y agoOthers 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.
- vasco 4y agoAnyone 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 genuinely one of the friendliest and most helpful people you’ll meet in real life I'm also the most modest person in the world.
- hnlmorg 4y agoI 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
- reitanuki 4y agoI 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.

- flakeoil 4y agoI'm a senior engineer and I don't know anything about Docker.
- somnic 4y agoI 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.

- kristiandupont 4y agoI know what DaVinci is and even a bit about film and the film look and I would still like what GP is suggesting.
