But he still has been messing with the tools, not to mention he’s been doing a significant amount of work on his movie, I listen to his podcast where he talks about a lot of stuff he doesn’t talk about in his videos.
Why the fuck can't they make it look simple and easy to use? Christ man. I hate Filmora but Davinci made me feel like I was cutting wires to a bomb and no matter what I did i would die.
In the meantime, what are some normal editing softwares that look normal and act normal? I refuse to use ALT+scroll for zooming, that is not normal. Too many problems that aren't worth it.
sometimes i get the feeling that every piece of specialized software is just 3 decades of updates tacked onto someone's personal pet project that once solved a problem for them in 1992
I use VSDC, it's freemium but has a pretty good featureset just with the free version and I've not found it too limiting in my three or so years using it. It's pretty cool. :D https://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor
i dunno if it compares in terms of features for professional creators, but we tend to use Kdenlive for video editing and find it pretty simple! has the benefit of being free and open source too
it really does just come down to different audiences. resolve is more for filmmakers, filmora is more for smaller productions (like vlog editing, etc).
there's not a lot of good prosumer options out there
If you stick with it its not that bad, especially considering that its free and its just as powerful as After Effects. There are a ton of helpful tutorials out there as well. (Also don't use the cut tab I hate it as well)
They built this thing for running on crazy workstations with a thousand custom buttons and knobs first and for normal users second. It didn't even have a normal keyframe editor until the newest update, you had to do it all in a tiny box under the video track or the separate VFX nodes mode
I used to use hitfilm but the entire product is now abandonware
It’s pretty much almost one to one with premiere pro’s workflow, which is good.
There should be some available downloads somewhere tho! I used it for like, years!
have you tried kdenlive? it's sure not better than davinci, but it has a pretty customizable ui, it does have some annoying things but i think it's alright.
It is SO daunting at first. If you're just totally yucked out of it that is so real. I promise that once you get over the first little learning hurdle it gets a lot more comfortable though! Not trying 2 jam my help into ur face but I PROMISE I could make it make sense in like a 20 minute crashcourse
I've been using DaVinci for like two or something years now and everytime I use it I want it sooo badly to be like After Effects when it comes to keyframes. Like I had a whole year's worth of AE training and I got certified but DaVinci I'm still like confused on the coloring and other tabs.
i swapped from vegas to davinky when vegas started refusing to render for no discernible reason. editing videos is so much easier with davinky. the learning curve is a brick wall but it’s worth scaling it
maybe it’s bc i swapped from vegas since they’re relatively similar. but what used to take me 12 hours with vegas now takes less than half of the time. power bins especially are sooooo useful for repeated elements like transitions, animations, bgm, etc.

That has a video editing window.

However, I do think it's just the culture shock. It's the persistent curse of being self taught. Whatever you decide, you got this.
even editing vo is easier than in audacity
