@daemonspudguy asked:

In the MFJ-1480B video, you mentioned that you were editing with Adobe Premiere Pro at the time. When did you make the (correct) decision to switch to DaVinci Resolve?

Based on my project archive folder, it looks like the first project I edited on Resolve was the "300 baud modems" video, circa February of last year. Feels like it's been longer.

I switched to Resolve for two reasons: Premiere crashed literally 30 times per video, and I lost work every single time. Resolve has forced me to redo work... perhaps twice? It is far more stable. Also, Premiere just could not play my videos at 60fps. I don't know why, it should be able to, I think it does for other people, but the fact that it wouldn't for me just felt like the last straw; I was sick of using a program based on code from 2001. Resolve has its problems, but most of them are what you'd expect from a program only being a few years old. It's amazing it works as well as it does, and christ, at least I'm not using kdenlive. Or Vegas.

my favourite thing about resolve is that their updates are a zip file, which contains a self-extracting exe. The double compression shaves a whopping 152KiB from a ~2GiB installer.

Amazing work. Outstanding.

My brain is broken in the precise way where GUI video editors like Resolve are indecipherable to me but Vapoursynth (a python framework for editing video with python scripts) of all things makes perfect sense.

It's not a good idea, but it's how I end up hacking stuff together when I have to edit video.

I mean to be honest after my first comment I spent a few moments thinking about how much work it would be to do CRD's rather simple intro logo animations entirely in ffmpeg so, I think whatever the curse is, I've already got it
