This software, really helped me out, to be creative. The node system in D. R, is just so..... its like I found what I dreamt of. 5 years ago, I started to test out, about 5-6 NLEs, and today I am grading my own movie, full lenght .I had direct contact and help from the head engineers. I really feel like beeing part of a family . Also beeing able to customize the setup, with my 3 screen, and have a true color output, on one, from a Blackmagic Decklinik card, is quite amazing. I will never ever use anything else :)..... . Thanks .

I cannot support any company which FORCES you to enter personal details and sign up for their newsletter to download the application. I'm fine with them asking if there was a skip option, but there isn't, you're forced to enter details. Needless to say I filled in bogus details.

No stars would be the best score, if that were possible. This company is probably the worst communicating company I have ever dealt with, if its performance over the DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor is anything to go by. I ordered and paid for one of these on 24th December 2020, based on a projected delivery of early January. This soon extended to 20th Jan, and now stands at 28th February. There seems to be a huge backlog of orders for their unit with some customers waiting much longer than me. BMD refuses to engage with its customers on this, with just one curt Tweet in mid January. Maybe its because its a low price item and they don't care about such customers. If this is typical of the company, heaven help those who are buying the more expensive items.

Davinci resolve 17 Amazing software, so well thought out .Ordinally tried out the free version to get the feel of the software to see if it would suit my needs, my initial thoughts i loved the timeline and cut and edit page but found it so laggy ,was almost unusable editing 4k. Took some advice from a friend that convinced me with my current pc spec with the GPU i have it will run very smooth as the studio version has gpu hardware acceleration so i thought i would give it a chance and it worked perfect and very pleased with the extras you get with the studio version especially the noise filter .The rendering is so fast with exceptional output quality. My only criticism is that i don't understand why they don't have a fully working trial version of the studio to make sure it works on your current hardware .Apart from that this software is a great deal as once you have purchased the licence you have free upgrades for life and can be installed on two devices so you never have to spend a penny again to keep up to date

World Class! 'Black Magic Design' are incredible. Their software is outstanding and makes editing quick and simple. For us who needs to make edits quickly it is a revelation. Their cameras capture super high quality footage with ease.

Davinci resolve is amazing, I use it for all my video projects, both on my YouTube channel and paid gigs. The capabilities are insane for a free video editing software. Normally I wouldn't be able to afford a pro editing software, and I think that's the case for a lot of filmmakers and youtubers when they're just starting out. I think it's incredibly generous that Blackmagic Design has this free software, and they don't cheap out on what they give you, even though it's free. It can be daunting at first, and you need a good computer to be able to run it, but it's really popular so there's a lot of youtube tutorials if you ever got lost, and the sky is the limit. Take the time to learn the basic functions and shortcuts and it will bring your videos to the next level. I've been using it for about a year now, and I feel like I still barely use all the functions. I just recently learned some basic color grading and it really brought my videos to the next level. Wish I could show before and after! Anyways, can't thank this company enough, was just thinking about how often I use this and how much it's allowed me to do. I realized I was taking it for granted, so wanted to leave this review as a thank you. I've found my passion, which is making YouTube videos and teaching people through video, and a big part of that is because of this software. I'm able to be really proud of my videos, because they look great! I'll even edit photos in Davinci Resolve, because the color grading is so awesome and I can't for the life of me figure out photoshop (and don't want to pay for it) haha

Cintel scanner doesn't work since October and everything else is wrong but the scanner itself (checked 4 computers, including their recommended iMac Pro). It keeps on freezing, crashing, not reacting, scan process suddenly stops etc. They can't do remote check nor testing one computer with other scanners. I don't recommend this company nor the scanner.

Auto save is disabled by default in Davinci Resolve. Nice one. Surely no one would want that to be on.
