For nearly a decade now Da Vinci Resolve has stood out as the editing software of choice for Hollywood (and content creators wanting to feel like they belong there). What always astonished me was the amount of pro-grade features they provided with their entirely free software. Granted, the Studio version was a lot more premium, but when you look at the fact that the now clearly aging Final Cut Pro by Apple is still a paid software, you have to applaud DVR for still keeping up a very capable free edition of their world class editing tool. With their upcoming version 21, Da Vinci Resolve now brings a dedicated photo editing tab as well. We dive into the beta software to see who it’s really for and if it’s going to give Adobe a run for its money.
