...Resolve will not run well for editing on the MBP, and the experience will not be what an editor should be.
Totally agree with this.
An editor should not be ressources consuming, specialy,
Very specialy in the context of the pixel race we are
Witnessing nowdays. Already, 4k coupled with crap codecs
Slows down. Not talking about 8k that seems to be the
Divine standart so if we ad to this nonsense a heavy platform
Then there is no way to edit without top end equipments at those resolutions or
Proxies obliged.
That is not ideal.
And this is the begining of the end of video-for-everyone cause to pick-up with that
The investment required will be out of range of the casual or student/budget
Filmaker. So we will return to the pre-digital times when motion was
The playpark of high-end houses only.
Ps: PP is ok as for editorial and Lumetry works well but the suscription-only is a bit abusive
According to me and way too much menu oriented in the software
Design.
PP as it, is not without issues, some of which have been expressed
In this forum and abundantly documented on line.
I did have a few annoying problems with XML, probably due to the
Fact that I was rookie on it but the fixing was a PITA and when
One starts to have to deal with things we should not...even if
There are always solutions, the thrill vanishes.
If it's to embrasse a traditional NLE then consider the standart
Avid, specially coupled with the amazing Baselight colour.
A certification on Avid brings more job opportunities and
Better salary than the PP operators, at least here in Europe
Where PP is still considered a "sotware-for-freakies" so to say.
(I do not share this reputation but it's the case)
Avid, well...just like Protools in music industry,
Not that cheap but on par with the Adobe plan on middle term.
FCPx and Lightworks are both alternatives that bring different
Approaches, and I beleive very interesting.
To me, the most singular is Lightworks (I understand Telma) and the only
One that offers rooms, that keep history permanently so you can undo
Even an edit after one year and no bloody menus whatsoever.
And oh yeah...the audio waveforms are loaded once for awhile!
No refresh (seems amazing to talk about that in 2018...very irritating in Resolve)
The list is long.
