Davinci Resolve or Adobe Premier

Im starting to edit video's now and trying to figure the best route to take adobe or davinci, davinci is free but it looks like adobe is the "industry" standard.

Thanks

Adobe is the creative industry standard for all products, and Premiere integrates well with Photoshop and AfterEffects which are also often used in Video Productions. Davinci is known for grading/colorizing already edited film.

I tried daVinci, but it was more quirky and machine-dependent than I felt like dealing with. I've read that it needs two video cards for smooth operation.

I also remembered why I went to Adobe Photoshop years ago from another program--much more 3rd party support.

Premier.

Blender has quite a good video editing module.

Premier for editing. DaVinci for color grading.

If you find Adobe just a bit too complicated, we do use it and several other programs including final cut Pro. You might want to try cyberlink power director which works for us and very simple to use. Been using it a while and happy with the results. You do need a fairly fast computer to run it but only need one video card.

Premier for vid ed. DR for grading.

I would overall say Premiere. It is very standard, has excellent tools and support and good performance on most formats. Davinci is beautiful for grading...it just works with you not against you, if you know what I mean. However, don't assume that you need Davinci for grading. Premiere has excellent tools for this and can produce fantastic results even with just a simple RGB Curves filter . So if you are willing to pay, Premiere will cover most needs.

Davinci, does, however have excellent editing too and really nice simple and fast title functionality (much better than Premiere IMHO though not as in depth). I've recently started doing complete edits and grades in Davinci and really enjoy working with it.

Performance is fine on FHD H.264 or FHD and 4K intermediate codecs (like ProRes etc.). It's terrible on 4K MP4 though and really does need a beast of a machine to get nice performance.

Just my view.
