DaVinci Resolve versus Premiere Pro. Here are five reasons that Da
Vinci resolve is better than Premiere Pro. And yet again,
the last reason is quite a hot take. So stick around. Reason number one that DaVinci Resolve
is better than Premiere Pro is that it is going to give you
the same consistent interface every time. What I mean by
that is that if you were to sit down at a friend's computer to help them
edit a video in DaVinci resolve that they were already working
on, whenever you click on the edit page, you're already going to know where
all of the panels are that you need access because DaVinci Resolve is a less
customizable program than Premiere Pro, and I hear
you getting ready to comment, Matt. Last week you made a video all about why Premiere Pro
is better than DaVinci Resolve. And one of the strengths of Premiere Pro
was that you said that the interface
is more customizable than Resolve. So which is it? Is it better
that premiere is more customizable or is it better
that resolve is less customizable, but editors will always know
where their tools are. Well, can't it be both? Here's the deal. Some editors want to customize all of their settings and panels,
which Premiere Pro lets you do. But I would argue that there are more editors out there
that never customize their workspaces. they used the same workspace
all day, every day. And if they did have to use a workspace
that was heavily customized by someone else, they would be
more confused and annoyed by it than happy because Premiere is so customizable
and they don't know where something is. So in this case,
I think that Blackmagic is catering to the majority of video editors,
and by giving every editor the same interface, they're hoping that you'll be able to edit faster because
you always know where everything is. You can let me know in the comments
if I'm right or wrong about this, and we need to move on to reason
to the second reason that DaVinci Resolve
is better than Premiere Pro is of course, the significantly more in-depth
color correction and color grading tools that you get with the software. The emotion tracking
is terrifyingly accurate. There are tools upon tools and panels
hidden inside panels, and it's very obvious
that Black Magic has spent a decade less time on the color
grading tools than the software. And that's because it got its start
as a purely color grading tool. In fact,
resolve is so much better than Premiere Pro in regards to color
that some Premiere Pro users have taken to begging Adobe
to bring back a standalone program called Speed Grade that you would use
to color grade back in the day. Now I don't see Adobe doing that. That tool has been dead for a long time,
just like this reason we don't need to talk about it anymore
because it's just obvious. But I knew that I would get yelled
about in the comments if I didn't mention the color
grading tools being so much better in resolve than Premiere Pro. Let's move on to reason three. The third reason that resolve is better
than Premiere Pro is that it gives you all of the editing tools
that you could ever need in one program. What I mean by that is that with resolve,
you have access to the cut page for fast editing, the edit page for in-depth
editing fusion page for advanced graphics and Fairlight
for audio editing, it's all in one. And to access any of these pages,
all you have to do is one simple click in comparison. While Premiere Pro is a very capable
video editor, if you want to do advanced graphics work, you are going
to need to use after effects. Or if you want in-depth audio editing,
you need to use audition, both of which are completely separate programs
to Premiere Pro. Now Adobe has created a cool
feature called Dynamic Link, which will enable you to essentially edit
your video clips or audio in after effects or audition
while they are still open in Premiere Pro. And any changes
you make in these other programs will then automatically update
in real time on your timeline. Or at least they will in theory,
because in mine and many other video editors
experienced dynamically can be quite buggy, especially once
you start to throw some effects on it. And I'll put it this way, it's
definitely not a 100% success rate. Every time you open up
something with Dynamic Leak and it's enough that I usually tend to avoid it
and I will render out a clip and then send it to After Effects, for example,
without using dynamic link at all. Don't get me wrong, if dynamic link
was rock solid, it would be different. But in this situation, this is an area where DaVinci resolve
is significantly stronger because with these fusion and Fairlight
pages, it's essentially like resolve has after effects and addition
built into the same program. There's no need for something
like Dynamic Link because all of these pages
are editing the exact same timeline, which makes things simpler
and less chances for bugs to appear. Speaking of simpler and easier,
let's talk about reason for that. Resolve is better than Premiere Pro
and this is a smaller reason, but I think you are still
totally going to agree with me. The fourth reason is all of the little
tweaks and changes that resolve has made to make editing faster and more enjoyable
and in a word, satisfying. Let me put it this way. If you open up, premiere and resolve
next to each other and you start editing a video,
the interface is honestly pretty similar. You have a preview window,
you have a timeline, you have a place to store your media. It's not like you're having
to learn the magnetic timeline
or something like that with final cut. Final cut. But there are still subtle differences
that, in my opinion, resolve has nailed to make editing better. let's say that you want to add a fade
to the beginning or end of a video clip. with Premiere Pro,
you can go up to your effects panel. It's like film dissolve
and then drag that down to your clip. Or you can use a keyboard shortcut,
but with resolve, they also give you the option
of clicking one of the half oval shaped handles at the top,
right or left corners of any video clip. And if you drag that to the left or right, that's going to add a fade to your video
clip. It's just going to have
this really nice black triangle to your clip showing you
how long the fade is going to last. And a pretty slope. It just goes back to that word
I was saying, satisfying. It's more fun to use these features
in resolve, in my opinion. Now, all that said, last but not least, I told you I had a hot
take for the end of this video. And I know you're probably thinking,
I know where he's going to go. He's going to talk about the price
and how resolve is dramatically cheaper because you just buy it one time instead of paying for a subscription
or something like that. But come on, that's low hanging fruit. That's too easy. And I promised you a hot take. So here you go. Reason number five. And this is also the biggest reason that
many filmmakers are switching to resolve, and that is that
you get a smoother interface with a program
that feels less buggy overall. In short, if you click on something, Resolve does it very quickly
and there isn't any lag. Compare that to Premiere Pro
where sometimes you will tell the program to do something and then it's like it has to stop
and think about it for a while. It's almost like there are gears
turning in the background and saying, yeah, I need to do that. All that. It's like got dust on it. It's like, okay, here we go. And then it's loads the thing. Finally you're just sitting there
as an editor, like, Come on, let's go. You know what I mean? So let me put it this way. And if you've ever played video games,
you'll get what I'm saying. It sometimes feels like The Da Vinci
Resolve interface is running at 60 frames
per second. Like how a 60 piece
video game has a fluid movement in motion. It feels really good to play well. Premiere Pro, on the other hand,
feels like it's running at 30 frames per second and sometimes it's
struggling to reach Thesps. And don't get me wrong,
you can play a video game at 30 apps, but it doesn't feel nearly as good
as 60 apps. My gamer friends will know
what I'm talking about. The rest of you. Don't worry,
you can now shift your attention to my other video that I made,
which is five reasons that Premiere Pro is better than DaVinci Resolve
that's linked up in the corner and down the video description
and also down in the video description. You're going to find a link
to my edit videos like a pro guide. This guide is going to show you
some of the most important things that took me years
to learn as a video editor. And regardless of whether you edit in DaVinci Resolve
or Premiere Pro or even Final Cut, I know I gave final cuts of this video,
but I love you too. Okay. It's just funny
and it makes people laugh. Okay. Because final cuts
like we're being left out over here. Nobody's talking about final cut
right now. I'm sorry. I wish we were, But if you'll make a video about final cut, I can do five reasons
why That's better to think about. I've got my head.
We got the magnetic timeline we've got. It runs really fast on Apple, MacBooks. They start charging a subscription
for it. Aside from that iPad app, which they are
starting a subscription for, but we don't talk about that. Okay, Never mind that. Blackmagic has the app for free. I told you, we're going to talk about,
okay, there's three of the five. We just a little preview for you. Okay. Anyways, did I mention them? I edit videos like a pro
guide is completely free. Please download
that the link down the description. Thank you so much for watching
and have a great day. Two examples for you. First, if you change the volume
of any audio track by dragging up or down on the gain control line, resolve
is going to update your waveforms in real time,
showing them getting louder and quieter. And this is something that looks and feels
good. It's also satisfying to see
those little waveforms moving up and down. Unfortunately, Premiere doesn't do this
click and drag up and down and you are not going to get any feedback
on your waveforms and you adjust the gain. You just get a decibel reading. It's subtle,
but do you see what I'm saying? It isn't quite as satisfying. Next,
