DaVinci Resolve Studio has been one of my purchases that I think is worth every penny spent.
They keep improving it with dramatic updates every time. If anyone from the BMD team is reading this, thank you for the beautiful work!

That's a pretty impressive list of new features and changes. Kudos to the team at Black Magic Design.
Yeah, BMD together with the teams of Blender and Unreal Engine manage to get out really big changes in a fast fashion. It's really impressive to see, time and time again.

I got my Resolve Studio for free from my BMPCC 4K (for those who don't know, it's an incredibly affordable cinema camera designed for hobbyists/amateurs/semi-pros)that easily competes with cameras 3-4 times the price range).
Over the past couple years, Resovle has continuously been updated with incredible features.
NO subscription.
NO upgrade fees (buy once, lifetime updates).
BMD, thank you for making professional video editing available to the masses.

In that vein, I think one major bit of news is that you can finally buy a license online! For the longest time you could only buy it printed on a physical card that had to be shipped to you.

#15As 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 (OS…
Resolve is built by a fairly small team in s/Australia/Singapore. If you want the features in the Studio version, you just need to buy once, you get a lifetime of updates, no subscription.
Ideologically I love to use FOSS products too, but I also want to support commercial businesses that make software under customer-friendly and non-subscription licensing terms.

It doesn't even support mp4 on Linux if you pay. If you pay you just get the ability to decode H.264. You can't encode H.264, and AAC is completely unsupported.

#17I don't do any video editing but I appreciate a top shelf commercial editor that's officially available for Linux. We need more commercial closed source software on Linux, I don't understand the "free software only" orthodoxy that many users push.

If we look at Blender's history, one could make the argument that they would get more support if they fully opened their product.
I for one would contribute to get a Libre Resolve, even if I am not a videographer.

I think you are missing the reason people on HN find DaVinci Resolve interesting. It’s not anything particular about the features or capabilities. It’s the business model and what that’s doing to the industry. Resolve is free but has become the market leader for the majority of the video industry. It’s completely shaking the industry up and pushing competitors to compete.
(And as an aside if your not interested in something on HN, and don’t have anything to add then just don’t comment. But by all means do ask why people find it interesting and engage in that conversation)
