Descrizione del concorso

INTRODUCTION:
I want to start learning a professional software for video editing, and I have to make a choice. I need someone professional (or expert) to advise me and answer some questions.
The goal is to make wedding videos, general promotional, events, corporate and institutional videos for medium-sized companies, touristic videos, hotels and tourism agencies (I will not be making cinema or movies).

"Adobe Premiere Pro" is more popular and more expensive (24€/month).
"Blackmagicdesign DaVinci Resolve 15" is cheaper (259€ only once).

QUESTION #1:
- Which one is better for video editing?
- Why?
- Everything we can do on "Premiere Pro", we can also do in "DaVinci Resolve"?

QUESTION #2:
- If "DaVinci Resolve" is cheaper why everybody uses "Premiere Pro"?

QUESTION #3:
- If I choose to learn "DaVinci Resolve", will I have to buy their expensive video panels in order to use the program?
- Can I use 100% of the program with just the mouse + keyboard?
- I also don't have to use their video cameras, right?

QUESTION #4:
- Are there any Add-ons or Plug-ins for "DaVinci Resolve" (like there are for Premiere Pro)?
- The Add-ons or Plug-ins for "DaVinci Resolve" are more difficult to find? Are they more expensive?

QUESTION #5:
- Both programs accepts the same video formats?
- If not, what are the formats each one doesn't accept?
- Both programs can export the same video formats?
- If not, what are the formats each one can't export?

QUESTION #6:
- What GPU card would be good to use with "Premiere Pro"
- What GPU card would be good to use with " DaVinci Resolve"
(no more than 500€ please)

QUESTION #7:
- From these 2 options, what program would you recommend?
- Is there any other software you would prefer, rather than "Premiere Pro" and "DaVinci Resolve" (I'm using Windows 10)

Thank you!

Bom dia querido. Você tem perguntas normais que eu mesmo as fiz quando iniciei. Mas te digo que respostas escritas não vão te satisfazer. Você precisa perguntar e ouvir ao mesmo tempo pq vão surgir novas perguntas quando começar. Ficaria feliz em te ajudar sem pensar em seu prêmio, só por ajudar-te. Se me chamar no chat, podemos conversar melhor. Abraços, Fernando.

ANSWER #3 :
+ While a control surface isn’t necessary to color your videos, one is necessary to become a “colorist”.
A control surface, any control surface, promises the user the ability to do the work of coloring without
ever having to take his/ her eyes off of the image.Keyboard shortcuts and a Kensington mouse trackball will never
let you simultaneously adjust color values in lift, gamma and gain.
Also you don't have to use their video cameras.

ANSWER #4 :
+ Since DaVinci 10 plug-ins were supported but are fewer than Premiere Pro. When it comes to price it is the same
cause most of DaVinci's Plugins are released also on Premiere Pro.

Hello there, I just happened across your contest, and I thought I would leave a few words of advice that I have gain through my own experience in using video editing software.
Well, for a start, I would suggest Adobe After Effects and Adobe Premiere.These are two amazing piece of software, and the ones that I tend to personally use. And I can say that they do a great, professional job in basically every situation.

  (The best place to find awesome, entertaining, and absolutely FREE tutorials for After Effects is at Video Copilot http://www.videocopilot.net .
  
  Video Copilot also has a lot of amazing, FREE presets, plug-ins, and other cool stuff that will make your After Effect's learning journey fun and memorable.
  
  Video Copilot also has a ton of great products, plug-ins, and visual effects for sale at very reasonable prices.
  
  YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT!!!)
  
  Well, that’s just a few of the many benefits I find to using Adobe After Effects and Premiere.
  
  And you can always try out the free trial version which you can easily download from the Adobe site.
  
  That way, you can get a feel of the software before you make any final decisions.
  
  Well, I hope this was in some way helpful to you, and I wish you the best of luck in learning whatever amazing piece of software you choose.

ANSWER #1 :
+ It depends on the one which suited your workflow. As a general overview,
I find that Resolve has the clear advantage when it comes to color correction,
and Premiere Pro has the clear advantage when it comes to editing and audio work.

ANSWER #2 :
+ The main issue with resolve is that there is no dynamic link to after effect. Also,
Premiere Pro possesses its own Adobe Media Encoder program. Adobe can work perfectly with all popular
file formats and its recent update to Digital Cinema Package makes things much easier.
Resolve has very poor output options as most of the time you need to encode files to
your desired format using other tools. Resolve don’t even provide support to most popular video file format MP4.

Listen I am just going to give you some advice. I use both. If you are new to editing you'll find MANY more tutorials for Adobe than Black Magic. Resolve is and editor, compositor, audio suite, media manager built around a color corrector. Davinci is well known around the world for there ability to scan film directly into the app and do amazing industry standard color correction. If you are just editing weddings or local sporting events go adobe. If you are shooting on bmd gear or red cameras try Resolve or Avid first. You can download the Beta of Davinci for free and there are very few differences between paid and free. Another plus of Davinci is its a one stop shop where as adobe requires exporting to AE for motion graphics or exporting to an audio suite for finishing... Anyway Hope this helped.
