As a hobby videographer using Ubuntu I find myself switching between Kdenlive and Davinci Resolve, depending on the size and complexity of the project. For a small 30-second clip I like the more approachable, simple workflow of Kdenlive but holiday videos with a hundred or more cuts work much better with Davinci for me.

Both are free which is really great, but from an ideological standpoint I much prefer Kdenlive (OSS). Also it's a bit annoying that Davinci doesn't support MP4 with the free version on linux. It's always a lot of re-encoding with ffmpeg to "prepare" clips for use in Davinci (as almost-lossless MOV containers).

At work I regularly transcode a Resolve editor's video to AVC-Intra 100 50i using Avid Media Composer or Adobe Media Encoder because Resolve can't export interlaced video properly.

Looks like they still haven't improved interlaced video support which is a shame because the rest of the software is great but it just isn't fit for purpose for me

One can often read that Qt/C++ aren't productive yet such hyper-featureful apps are proof that it's a combo that works and works well

How does DaVinci Resolve Studio update policy work? Do I get all future updates for free, or only the 18.x patch releases?

I've bought the license years ago and have got every major update for free since then.

While it's not guaranteed to be this way forever, it's the way it is for now.

Always appreciate their free version. It is like the best oasis in desert. With efforts put in this sophisticated software that benefits students, new creators, and others, I love this company. Also Blackmagic pocket's color space doesn't really have direct competitor, there should have more company like this.
