Switched after Decades using Vegas Pro

I’ve been cutting for a long time. I started with Vegas back when it lived inside Sound Forge, and I stuck with it for decades. It was fast, it was lean, and it let editors edit without getting in the way. But over the last several years, communication with the new Vegas ownership became harder and the product felt like it was losing its edge. About five years ago, I began testing DaVinci Resolve because so many of my fellow editors and filmmakers were praising it. They weren’t wrong. The transition was worth the learning curve. The interface is intuitive, the color grading tools are in a league of their own, and the entire workflow feels built by people who understand real-world post-production. Another massive plus: the user community. DaVinci Resolve users actually help each other. I can toss a question into a forum or group and get smart, practical answers from people who actually use the software to earn a living. I’m also fired up about the AI features rolling out. If Blackmagic continues the way they’re going, they’ll keep shaping the future of editing, not following it. Bottom line: DaVinci Resolve is a serious pro tool. Solid, innovative, and built with the editor in mind. I’m glad I made the switch — and even more glad this is now my primary workflow.

working in color grading. Just the best there. I have no complaints whatsoever
