I imagine the tools in Resolve save you much time, due to automation. Probably handy if you shoot a lot.

The hue curves in DaVinci are pretty much the only act in town for sophisticated hue adjustments.

But aside of giving me an option of shooting video+photos at the same time, it blows my mind that it's practically 'shoot photos 240 times per second and choose later', and how good the end result is.

Theoretically DaVinci Resolve runs on Linux, but getting it run is a very bad experience on Ubuntu Kubuntu 24.04. I even paid for the DaVinci license, as I read somewhere that for Linux it s necessary in order to have all codecs supported. It did not help.

for motion graphics and video processing, my partner and I have had great luck replacing AfterEffects and Premiere with Blender and DaVinci Resolve, respectively.

Resolve is okay but not great at most things. I’m a fan of Resolve and its pricing, but like Affinity, it’s not quite on par with the features of Adobe’s products.

DaVinci Resolve is wonky, but Kdenlive is fine as a stopgap.

Personally I use the studio version of davinci resolve, other opinions are available.

when you look at... davinci resolve... both are about as fast as one another (with some back-and-forth wins on either side).
