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. ----- ### "DaVinci Resolve: The Subscription-Free Powerhouse Taking Over Post-Production" — 5.0/5 > **Bruno** | *6 August 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I had the opportunity to use the DaVinci Resolve software as a Marketing Executive Intern for Hackett \& Hackett International Group Limited. Indeed, the software has numerous advantages; for instance, its free version contains an impressive number of features that might be useful for professionals. Besides, the program includes a complete post-production pipeline that accommodates four pages, namely Cut \& Edit, Fusion, Fairlight, and Colour, in one software. Furthermore, it offers powerful node-based Colour Workflow and other advanced Colour tools. > > **Cons**: However, the software also has a number of disadvantages. First, it requires high-end hardware to perform, especially when editing and viewing high-resolution videos. For instance, in order to operate the software efficiently, one needs to have at least 16GB RAM. Second, it has a challenging learning curve. In addition, I noticed that the software uses an underlying Disk or Cloud Database to manage Projects, which is not convenient because of the potential Database Corruption risks and complicated migration procedures. Moreover, DaVinci Resolve offers not flexible enough Workspace Customisation and can mislead the user. > > Overall, my experience of using the DaVinci Resolve software was overwhelmingly positive, as it enabled our team to create much more engaging promotional content for our company’s social media pages and website. It is a must-try for any Video Editor, regardless of their experience level, to be able to leverage the opportunities provided by this piece of software to get ahead in their career field, which is relevant to almost any industry. ----- ### "Breath of fresh air for video project creation." — 5.0/5 > **Sean** | *28 May 2026* | Media Production | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: No other post-production suite comes close in terms of listening their customers and making features that are benefitting them the same way Blackmagic Design have done with Davinci Resolve. > > **Cons**: Coming from Adobe, it can be a bit of a learning curve, but the value you're getting from it is hard to say anything negative about it. Plus the industry is still pretty heavy with Adobe so it can be tricky to work with edits that are being sent to other editors apart from sending them XMLs. > > Great value for money, fantastic choice for creating videos with and it is renown for being the industry standard for colour grading. ----- 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
