hi so it's 2022 and i firmly believe that you should switch to davinci resolve from
whatever you're currently using and i want to give you a handful of reasons why make sure you stick
around because at some point in this video i'm going to tell you how to win a davinci resolve
studio license that i'm going to be giving away add more creative light to your mobile filmmaking
kit with beastgrip's brand new rgb led light panel with over 96 cri 1600 luck this light is perfect
for any shooting scenario packed with features like 9 special lighting effects it also works as a
power bank bringing extra life to your phone and other accessories learn more about b-script's
brand new rgb on camera light down in the description below listen all the major nles
final cut premiere resolve they share like 90 of the same features and as creators we all like to
do and edit things a little bit differently so you're not going to hurt me if you end up not
switching resolve and i'm not going to hurt you by making this video alright so the first feature
is blackmagic cloud this is their cloud service where you can basically store your entire library
in their new hosting software so for five dollars a month you get to store a database
now the real purpose of this that they showed off in all of their keynotes and stuff was to
basically collaborate with other creators maybe of a remote colorist a remote editor but even
as someone who's primarily a solo creator it's really nice to have because i can have access to
my database back it up download it if i need to from any computer anywhere optimized for m1 max
davinci resolve has become so optimized on mac that it is borderline outperforming final cut
pro because they are coming out with so many big updates so quickly now this is kind of a
new side application with davinci resolve 18 and that is the proxy generator and it allows you to
set up a watch folder so that anytime media is added into that folder it will automatically
start creating proxies using one of the proxy presets that you can choose from when you first
load up this program definitely the easiest selling point and kind of where no one can
really debate is the color page noise reduction this is one of the features that is different from
the free version to the paid version honestly it's one of the best noise reduction plugins out there
it creates a really clean image takes away a lot of the color noise color warper was a tool that
came out last year and this basically allows you to select any color in your image and then it's
going to show you where it is on the color wheel and you can just simply drag it to any part of the
color wheel most of the time you're dragging it back to the middle to kind of like almost
white balance correct but this is such a fast and easy tool to use i love it and then the brand new
object track which just came out in beta 2 of resolve 18 you essentially can just draw lines
kind of selecting it hit the track forward button and that's pretty much it so honestly
if you're looking to test out davinci resolve for yourself i am going to give away one license
to the studio full version all you guys have to do is comment down below what is your favorite
feature in resolve that you're excited to test out this doesn't have to be one of the new features
from resolve 18 or a new feature i've mentioned in this video there's just so much packed into the
software that i don't use in my workflow if you made it to this point in the video and you're like
that all looks really cool but x is the reason why i'm still not switching over again besides just
i'm really happy with whatever piece of software i'm using that's a totally valid response there's
probably one of three things or it could be all three things holding you back from switching the
first one is nodes i'm right there with you i freaked out when i first saw this crazy complex
node tree but i promise you if you just like spend a couple of hours playing around edit a
couple youtube videos or whatever projects and and get used to the note tree you will never be able
to go back to layer-based editing and you'll be like that is the dumbest form of color correcting
that i've ever seen the next thing also totally get custom windows with premiere you can literally
attach and detach every single window and so when you have like a three monitor setup like me
you can put things basically exactly where you want them to in resolve you do have
multiple monitor support and you can kind of choose what vin windows are in view and
and not in view but you can't get as specific as like oh i want to put my source viewer
here and then my media bin right below this and honestly i get it it annoys me to this day that
i can't fully customize it but it's one of those things if that's the only reason holding you back
from switching and you see the other benefits of switching you're gonna get used to it within like
a week don't let that be the one thing holding you back and last thing and probably one of the
hardest is templates and presets adobe products are some of the most widely used out there
and final cut isn't far behind and so there are a ton of youtube tutorials preset packs templates
that you can buy online and i totally get being hooked into that ecosystem and having that stuff
all i can say is that davinci resolve has come up a lot and so a lot of places that never offered
preset packs before for resolve now do motion vfx is definitely my favorite you can check them out
in the links in the description below or places like motion array also have an entire resolve
library built out there you guys go those are a bunch of reasons why i think you should test
out davinci resolve 18. remember there's a free version that has like 90 of the features so even
if you don't want to put any money into it you can check it out in the link in the description and
of course if you want all the super pro features like noise reduction and a bunch of other things
check out the studio version and comment down below so you may win
a studio license from me thanks so much for watching guys i'll see you in the next video
