How do they actual make money? I've been using Resolve for years without paying for it (and without thinking about its business model too much). It seems that they sell quite expensive professional hardware so I assume the software users are just compensated by hardware users?

so you only export to 1080p? I pay for it, albiet the $300~ price point is still low for forever free updates

GPU hardware accelerated encoding/decoding is only in the paid version as well.

This honestly made my day. I’ve been looking for a way to manage my photos on Linux for a while. Lightroom has been the only reason I’ve stuck with a Mac. If I can switch to a photo editor that lets me process everything properly, skip the monthly subscription, and not have Adobe tracking all over my system—that’s exactly what I want. This feels like a dream come true. Really amazing.

I'm in a similar camp where I'm stucking to windows for that one software: lightroom classic (or CC as they call it). I'm happy to pay for a legitimate replacement that lets me go Linux native on a laptop. I'm fine even paying for the Adobe Cancellation tax from the money I save not buying Windows.

On that note, is this supported on Linux?

Davinci resolve studio is awesome. I've been editing my videos by transcription for the past two years. Can edit very quickly. Takes about 2 hours to edit a one hour video. It's actually faster than working with an editor.

> It's actually faster than working with an editor. what does this mean? it is an editor

Faster than to work with a human person who edits your videos.

Does this support Fusion as well? I've done photo editing using a fusion workflow before and while clunky it was the only program that could reasonably accommodate my needs at the time.

Yes fusion is supported too! I've seen some demos of people using it for basic spot removal etc. There is a ton of insane potential there!

Hardware. It's like the Apple model (before they got into services). They sell a full suite of hardware that works great with their software, and they see the software as a way to keep good will, and also showcase their tech well. They also sell a paid version, if you want a few extra features.

And the great thing about the paid version is that updates are (so far) free with no subscription bs.

I paid for it once like 10 years ago and still get every new version for free.

This was bound to happen. I've edited stills in Resolve for years thinking this day would come. Resolve has supported DNG raw files (as long as they're not converted from funky sensors such as Fujifilm X-trans). But, it was always a bit of a hack.

Kind of stoked to see this release even though I've transitioned to a 100% open source photo workflow on Linux now.

IMO, most exciting developments in photo editing today happens in open source. But this is really something.
