If you usually work with video files, you will know that essential editing tools can be easy to learn and provide us with immediate solutions. Still, in a short time, they become obsolete concerning our requirements. We have to think about acquiring specific software, and among the many available cases, we believe that DaVinci Resolve is one of the best.

DaVinci Resolve is a complete program that will allow us to work on graphic animations, visual effects, and all kinds of modifications that can be made on top of video files. Thanks to its vast amount of original functions, even in the free version, and those that affect the audio, you can be sure that the resulting content will always be what you were looking for.

How it works

Unlike similar applications, this one, in particular, we liked its layout by modules, finding some that we did not expect, such as the one that allows you to customize our images. Thanks to this, you can change the pictures you want to incorporate into the video you edit and perform compositions if that is what you want.

Once you have downloaded and installed it, you will see that DaVinci Resolve is divided into several internal applications, so to speak, each of which allows you to work on a specific aspect of the imported content. Some of those internal apps are Color, Fairlight, and Fusion. This way, it will be straightforward for you not to confuse the type of treatment you produce on your files.

Another interesting detail of this software is the possibility of several artists working simultaneously on videos, audio, or images using a shared access table. Of course, the massive advantage of this feature is that we will not have to be editing and download the file to send it to a friend; then, he will be the one to finish editing it before having it ready.

If you are a photographer, you should know that this service has some of the features of the best editors in the world, such as its support for color grading through your computer's Internet connection. This function will allow us, in an effortless and fast way, to make adjustments to the images taking advantage of the chromatic tables and applying the balances that interest us to the graphic material.

And suppose that is not enough for you. In that case, you should know that this app also has a system for importing metadata from CSV files, which improves its performance from the possibility of modifying this aspect of the contents, something that is not so usual in graphic editors.

To take into account.

An important detail we must consider about DaVinci Resolve is that it is a program that we have to run necessarily in an operating system, Windows 64-bit, since it does not work in 32-bit versions. This forces us to have a computer with at least an intermediate power, being discarded many old computers.

As for the user interface of this program, we have to say that it is very similar to that of most video editing programs and the like, as it gives the main spaces to the contents, with a browser and a different timeline. Thanks to this and the fact that it is ultimately translated into many languages, the first approach to this application will be straightforward and learning how to take advantage of it.

The best

Among the main positive aspects of this software, we cannot fail to mention that it has several complementary modules, thanks to which we can perform all kinds of exciting actions on our content. On the other hand, we quickly notice that it is a platform with sufficiently advanced features for even professional editors to be satisfied with it.

The worst thing about it

Although this free version of the program has almost no weak points, it is true that when we compare it with the paid version, we realize that it lacks some features that we could consider very important. Among them are noise reduction tools, as well as work-sharing tools. Although they are not essential, they could help us improve our user experience in many cases.

Rating

DaVinci Resolve is one of the best platforms for editing videos, images, and audio. It allows several people to work simultaneously on the projects, saving time. If we add to that the excellent layout of each of the tools, and the overall potential of this software, we do not doubt that there are few better alternatives in its field, even talking only about the free version.
