The continuous software updates and improvements are truly beneficial and show how much the developers care about their users. > > **Cons**: Please make sure not to lose your activation ID if you received it as a hard copy. I was fortunate to have excellent technical support who helped me recover mine. > > I’d like to give special thanks to the DaVinci Resolve technical support team, especially \[sensitive content hidden\] , for his outstanding assistance. He went above and beyond to help me recover my activation code for my new laptop after I had lost the original hard copy. \[sensitive content hidden\] was extremely helpful in validating my details and promptly confirming the activation. His professionalism and support were exceptional — he’s an absolute legend\! ----- ### "DaVinci Resolve giving you Hollywood style Results." — 5.0/5 > **Briannah** | *30 September 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: DaVinci Resolve is one of the best video creation tools around, however you need to have previous experience in video creation to use it. This is a advance video creation system, from colour grading, project creation, and a wide selection of features that gives Hollywood style results. The customer support gives a large tutorial library that does require a lengthy learning period, while the value for money is also excellent, there is a free version that is easily uploaded, or the Davinci Studio which gives you more fancy features at a one time payment of around $500 all upgrades after are free. Like a lot of systems you can add a security password to protect all your work. > > **Cons**: Has a lengthy learning curve, but the results are Hollywood style quality. The advance version being Davinci Studio with a much large selection of features available is a reasonably cost but at a one time payment with a life time upgrades for free the initial cost out weights the amount you are receiving. > > Its one of the leaders in video creations and the results speak for themselves. This is why the experienced video creators use this tool. The free version can give you the experience to learn through the many tutorials available before purchasing the paid version. There is a excellent training video on utube that is a must see for anyone interested in starting out. ----- ### "Best Video Software for Beginners and Advanced Editors" — 5.0/5 > **Bailey** | *14 July 2025* | Animation | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: A lot of advanced and essential tools available on the free version. Supports most video and audio codecs. Heaps of export options. > > **Cons**: Some basic things are harder to find or are more time consuming to do, compared to Vegas Pro. Some videos and audio will fail to import without explanation. ----- ### "The Video Editing Software I Recommend to Everyone..." — 5.0/5 > **Shaun** | *18 July 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: 1) It operates on multiple levels, making it possible to learn basic video editing relatively quickly while leaving room for more advanced editing down the line. 2) It is a robust tool for project creation. The free version alone comes stock with more features than I could possibly use for my use cases. Additionally, while I haven't used them yet, there is a decent library of third party plugins that add more functionality and options for projects. 3) The DR community is extensive enough that there are enough tutorials for most common use cases of the platform that you can get a walkthrough of even its most advanced features. BMD also has a community forum and product support, though I have only used the former for seeking solutions. 4) A major bonus: the free version is a formidable piece of software on its own with many of the same performance possibilities as its paid sibling. While they could justify charging something for this, I think it benefits BMD to have a complete piece of software to ease in new users before they pay hundreds for the full service model. I prefer this model for software. > > **Cons**: 1) If you want to do anything more complicated than simple or intermediate video editing, there is as learning curve. In fairness, this is to be expected, but it does make some of the more advanced features a bit daunting to approach. The workaround: there is probably a tutorial for the thing you want to do on YouTube. 2) Customizing the interface is, for me, not as intuitive (or, in some cases, possible) as I'd like. I've learned to work around it, though. 3) This is a minor quibble. The jump from DR to DR Studio (the paid version) is $295. It would be nice if there was an intermediate level for those wanting some of the more advanced features (such as captioning) but not the full suite that is best suited for film production. > > If I had known about DaVinci Resolve before I purchased a bundle of video editing software during COVID, I probably could have saved myself some money and headaches. Overall, DR is a remarkably well-stocked video editing and production tool with walls of features (even in its free version, which I use). The platform is stable and handles most production tasks I'd need for developing lecture videos, YouTube gaming and commentary videos, and video podcasts. It's the software I now recommend to everyone who asks. ----- ### "An amazing creative visual tool." — 5.0/5 > **Psalms** | *27 September 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very well put together program. I use it often for my clients. Video editing on my iPad or laptop is seamless. The fact that the free version is still very powerful in comparison paid products including. The color grading tab is filled with lots of useful nodes, and fusion is cool for all the effects needed if you like nodes this the one. Projects are easy to see and create and the system is very secure. I haven’t noticed any glitching. Well written program. High performance and speed, I didn’t even experience any lag. I haven’t tried the customer service due to how stable the program is. > > **Cons**: I wish you didn’t have to buy the software separate for iPad and laptop. There could be some new intuitive tools as far as UI design. > > Amazing. Easy to use. Plenty of screen space to utilize even on the iPad, very well designed. I like the fact that it is exact,y the same product for every device. All the functions are there. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/209733/davinci-resolve?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/209733/davinci-resolve) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
