Both video and audio clips’ thumbnails are also large enough to help you during the editing. In fact, much more responsive than running Adobe Premiere Pro on the same PC.Ĭlips snap automatically to different clip segments (context sensitive) and to my surprise, can also snap to an audio waveform change (like a peak, which is usually a good indicator for a scene change).

So when I had the chance to grab a review copy of the DaVinci Resolve Studio 15 (the Pro version), I didn’t hold back.

While I don’t do professional video editing, I’m quite involved in shooting and editing short videos here and there for church events, advertisements, short interviews for weddings, and such. DaVinci Resolve Studio 15 Review – I’d been using Adobe Premiere Pro for about a decade, if not more.
