Premiere Pro versus DaVinci Resolve. Here are five reasons that Premiere Pro
is better than DaVinci resolve. And you're really going to want to stick around for number five
because it's a spicy, hot take number one. Unlike DaVinci, Resolve Premiere Pro
has a truly customizable interface. If you want to set up your panels
in literally any orientation Premiere Pro lets
you do that out of the box. Adobe gives you presets
for how these panels can be laid out, but you can literally click
and drag them wherever you want. So if you don't want your video
preview in the top right, you can move it to the top left
or the bottom left. It doesn't matter because Premiere
gives you an insane amount of control for how you can orient your panels
and you can even unlock them and have them floating on a second screen
if you wanted to. You have a ton of customizability there. On the other hand, resolve
only lets you toggle panels off and on and you cannot move them around. So from a customizability standpoint,
then something that really professional editors
are going to appreciate Premiere Pro wins. Speaking of winning,
hey, my name is Matt Johnson and I feel like a winner
getting to make videos like this for you. Also at this point, I'm sure you may have
already started to type a comment saying Matt Da Vinci is so much better. Well, don't worry. My video next week is all about
how resolve is better than Premiere Pro, so please subscribe
if you want to see that anyways. Back to stirring the pot here. The second reason premiere is better than DaVinci Resolve
All comes down to a little program that Adobe requires you to install
whenever you install Premiere, and that program is called Adobe
Media Encoder. Yes, one of my biggest personal
annoyances about resolve is that whenever you queue up a video
or multiple videos to render an export, you are going to be stuck
waiting for all of those videos to render, leaving you unable to do any more editing in resolve until the export is finished. That doesn't happen with Premiere Pro because Adobe Media Encoder
is a completely separate program. You can send any video file
that you want to export to media encoder where your computer will use that program
to render your video, leaving you free to continue to edit the same project
or open up a different project. It doesn't matter. This can be a huge productivity boost
and I'm really hoping that in the future Resolve updates their software
to allow you to continue editing while a video is being rendered. Reason three Now the premiere pro
is better than DaVinci Resolve is that it has a much easier
to use and simpler to use. Workflow for how projects are saved
and moved between computers. This feature relates to the core way
that both of these editing softwares work with Premiere Pro
using a simple dot PR pro j project
file to store your edited video. This is very similar
to using a duck exe file to store a microsoft Word document or a dot XXS
file to store an Excel spreadsheet. In essence,
if you have this dot PR pro j file, you can edit your video
and if you want to move your project file to another computer or send it to
someone else, that is as simple as copying and pasting this file to a hard drive
or sending it to someone else via Dropbox. this system that Premiere Pro uses
is very traditional, and if you've ever used a computer before,
it's pretty easy to understand. DaVinci resolve. On the other hand, it uses a database system
to store all of your edits, which has plenty of benefits,
don't get me wrong. But if you want to transfer your project
from one computer to another, it is a bit more work. And you also have to think about things
like backing up your database from time to time, which you never really need to think about
with Premiere Pro anyways, Reason four we have two left and like I said earlier,
the last reason is spicy. So hold on a second reason for that
Premiere Pro is better than DaVinci Resolve is that it has been around longer
and there is more support for more plug ins. This is an area where I'm happy to say
that resolve is starting to catch up. But for a long time, Premiere Pro has been known as a software
that's easy to create plug ins for. And so whenever you see companies
like sounds Ripe offer a licensing plug in for video editing software that will enable you to download songs
through edit directly into your software. Who did they
first create a plug in for Premiere Pro? Likewise, there's a very popular plug in
that made waves in 2023 called Auto Pod that will edit your podcasts
and even your full wedding ceremonies, which I made it tutorial about that I will link to Up in the corner
and down in the video description, which editing platform did Auto Pod
first make a plug in for Premiere Pro? It's simple. If you want more plug ins,
the odds are that they are going to be on Premiere Pro,
But like I said, I'm thankful that's looking like resolve
is starting to catch up in this aspect. Lastly, we have made it to Reason
five that Premiere Pro
is better than DaVinci Resolve. I promised you a spicy hot take
and here it is. DaVinci Resolve is known
for having the best color grading tools because it got its start
as a professional color grading software that eventually turned
into an editing software. But I would argue
that while DaVinci Resolve has more professional color
grading tools, Premiere Pro has more user friendly color grading tools
that are better for quick fixes, especially if you are a beginner
video editor. Hear me out. Okay, If you want to color grade a video
clip. In Premiere Pro,
the first thing that you see is a super basic color grading panel with sliders
pulled directly from Adobe Lightroom because so many filmmakers
got their start as photographers. And this is a very familiar interface. Changing your brightness
and contrast and color temperature are only a simple click and drag away. And for most people that is all that
they need to color correct and color grade their video. This setup is not intimidating at all
for color grading. Open up resolve on the other hand,
and while you have vastly more control, there are no easy to use in-your-face
sliders in sight. No, you get to learn
an entirely new interface that looks different from any other
editing interface you've ever used. Pull up a chair, kids,
because it's time to talk about nodes. Let me put it this way. Once you take the time to learn the color
page in Da Vinci resolve, you will be a wizard that can do basically
anything with the colors in your videos and I absolutely love it
as a professional, but it is overkill for a lot of people,
which is why these simpler and easier to use color grading
interface of Premiere Pro is better. You can fight about this,
take in the comments down below, and if you're still mad and upset,
remember I have another entire video coming out next week
that it literally is the A.I. version of this video

is better than Premiere Pro. And I've got to tell you, if you thought I had some hot takes in
