Premiere Elements, meanwhile, has an interface structurally similar to Pro’s but significantly stripped down. A whole team – editor, colour grader, sound editor, VFX artist, etc – can work on their elements of the project simultaneously, with a powerful database making sure they don’t overwrite each other’s work. The colour options are particularly advanced Resolve started as a colour grading program, and it shows in the unmatched depth of the controls available.Ī feature unique to Resolve is its full multi-user collaboration. Its in-depth audio, colour, and effects workspaces are to a standard used for major Hollywood productions and all within one programme. However, for the best possible audio, effects, and colour work, you have to send the project to other programs within Adobe’s Creative Suite, such as Audition or After Effects.ĭaVinci Resolve’s big selling point is that there’s no need for this complex process. For example, there are numerous colour effects, including the powerful Lumetri Color, which has RGB curves and shadow/midtone/highlights wheels. When you do pay for the Studio version, Blackmagic doesn’t require all of the demographic info, although I think you’re required to register the software before they’ll give you tech support over the phone.Premiere Pro has many options to fine-tune the various aspects of your project. Trying to use the Studio (paid) version without paying for it would get you in trouble. Ultimately, it’s your responsibility to read it before you agree to it. You are required to agree to their EULA to use either version. Even if you accidentally download the Studio version (happens all the time, and vice-versa, because both versions are similarly-named), you won’t be able to use it without paying for a license. If you don’t work for a company, just put that, “self-employed,” “hobbyist,” “none,” or similar. When you download the software, they ask that you provide some information about yourself so that they can understand their market demographics. Yes, it’s ok*, as long as you’re downloading the free version (not the one that says “Studio”) of Resolve and not trying to circumvent their copyright protection.
