Where you spend the money is on the everything else." It's not hard to invest $50,000, $75,000, even $100,000 on a fully-equipped Resolve system. My joke has always been, "the $299 cost of Resolve software is not the big expense. I have to agree that sometimes I think there's a sense of entitlement from Free Resolve users, who want to know, "why can't I have more?" People forget that 12-13 years ago, Resolve cost more than $500,000 (with hardware), and it's a miracle that back in 2010, Blackmagic cut the software price to $999, and then in 2015 reduced the price to $499, and then reduced it further to $299 back in 2017. Of course 300 dollars for someone is different for everyone, but that's not even the point. Davinci Resolve Studio cost nothing for what it offers.

Or if there is really something someone needs for a particular job, they can pay a little fee for one of these same online tool, for a month.Īnyway, I'm rambling, and again, BMD will decide what they want to do, but these requests are selfish, in my opinion. Free software, open-source software, free webservices like runwayml, etc. It's like someone saying : I want to build a house, it would be great if you could give me your free time (development time) and results because I don't want to use the other tools available to me, for free to do the job, because, well, it's more work for me at the end.Īlmost every feature in resolve can be found for free. Sell their art, or experiences, then buy new and "better" tools. At some point, people need to work for their tools. I said it in another thread about someone who wanted "AI" tools to be added to the free version. I'm sorry but the more I see these type of requests, the more I'm more I have a black and white opinion on these subjects.

So you want even less incentives for people to buy the Studio version of Resolve, and less money to finance the development of this excellent program. Well, AE is not free, and there is no free version of AE. YeanTheSample wrote:The Warper tool is a tool just like the puppet pin tool in AE
