video and photo editing software.

What software does everyone use for the best results and ease of use. for video and pictures for EVO 2 Pro?
Also why ?

 

[Jagerbomb52]

DaVinci Resolve is free to use and can handle 10 bit video. Many youtube tutorials if you get stuck. There are a few others but DaVinci Resolve will do pretty much anything you need it to do. If your going to buy a editing software I suggest Wondershare Filmora. Very easy to use and it gets updated with new features very often.

DaVinci Resolve does have a big learning curve but like I said Youtube is your friend to learn the in's and out's.

Thanks for the information. The Filmora UI looks similar to Davinci, in your experience is it easier to learn than Davinci? I might give the trial version a shot.

 

[Jagerbomb52]

I found it easier then Davinci but that could be just the lay out of the software. Daniel Batal on youtube has some very good tutorials for Filmora.

Davinci Resolve! I am a television production professional of 50 years, retired now, and have never in my career seen a more capable and feature packed editing software program...and for FREE. There are others that you must pay a monthly subscription or pay a substantial buy out fee. I’ve abandoned Adobe for this reason. I don’t use Final Cut because it only runs on a Mac. I’m not a Mac fan. Check out also Lightworks. It’s free for a while then you’ll have to pay a fee later on if you continue. One drawback on Resolve is that it likes to import .MOV files so if your footage is something else you will need to convert it. One of the easiest and best conversion programs is Handbrake and is free download.

Thanks for the info!

I have been using Premiere Pro from Adobe for around a half year now and absolutely love it. I've been working in the television news industry for 37 years and surrounded by some of the finest editors in the business. It handles the file formats from Autel natively, no conversion necessary along with the compression that comes along with it. Most reviews I read about it rank it #1 and the "industry standard" with prosumer editing software, here's just one example:

But the best bang for your buck is likely found with some of the other recommendations already provided here! Good luck!

I import files from the E2P directly into DaVinci Resolve without conversion. No worries.
I eventually paid for the DR Studio version. I functions and processes MUCH faster than the free version. I like that DR can output 10-bit video.
Also, a good fun alternative is Cyberlink PowerDirector. I used that for years before starting on DaVinci Resolve. It's fast and easy but not as feature packed as DR.

Ha! That's funny, I actually still use PowerDirector too for quick and dirty stuff. Yes, PP also works great with 10 Bit video. I've been flabbergasted at how good my video looks out of the E2P which is also a credit to this drone's camera and sensor! Here is a recent favorite of mine:

Video: Hands down, without a question, the best free option is DaVinci Resolve. If you want to pay for a version of something, they also have DaVinci Resolve Studio, which adds a couple of features, but the free version probably has everything you're going to need.

If you want a free version of something that doesn't have all the fancy tools, VSDC is probably what you're after.

There are so many excellent free versions of software today, I don't understand why people pay money for them.

As I mentioned above, I paid for DaVinci Resolve Studio version because it is SOOO much faster, especially for 4k, 10-bit video and nVidia GPU.

@BayouGal I also paid for Davinci Resolve for the same reasons as @Rubik3x . I don't know about version 17 but I know in version 16 and older you could not work with 10 bit color video files unless you paid for the Studio version. I have used Premier Pro, Corel VideoDirector, Power Director, Avid, and tried a few others.....after using all of them, Davinci Resolve has no equal in my book.

@tvwxman Premier Pro came the closest from a usability standpoint compared with Davinci Resolve, but the endless monthly fees combined with the endless updates and instability made it a distant second to Davinci Resolve in my book. It is literally nearly impossible to get Davinci Resolve to crash unless you end up in specific scenarios that most people will never encounter. PP on the other hand was so unpredictable and unreliable (and costly) that I used to hate using it.

Great info, thanks as always! I may start considering my options here again soon as my bank account continues to drain away!

Download HitFilm - Free Video Editing Software - FXhome

HitFilm is a free video editing and visual effects software with professional-grade VFX tools for you to make awesome content, films or gaming videos. Download it free!

fxhome.com

They have a free, full working version of the software named Hitfilm Express if you want to try it out. The only difference in the Pro version is it comes with waaayy more fx and composite options and templates.

It's pretty cool. Allows you to edit, add fx and export all in the same window instead of having separate composite, edit, and export windows

If you have any DR questions let me know, I used PP for years and decided overnight that I was done paying the fee. I quit PP on the spot and bought Davinci Resolve Studio. It took exactly a week of watching Davinci Resolve YouTube videos for me to get just as good at DR as I was with PP. Within another week I was better at color grading in DR than I ever was in PP the tools really are that good. DR is also much better at post stabilization, it integrates Fusion (AE), Fairlight (Audition), and of course the NLE all into one program so no more roundtripping through other programs.

With each version they keep adding more and more NLE features, DR 17 just got released about a month ago...its a great time to be a DR user. My favorite "feature".....only $300 buys you lifetime updates and the Studio edition. It is literally cheaper than two updates of Corel VideoStudio or 5 months of PP.

Another pretty cool "feature" of DR is that Hollywood uses it...and especially during the pandemic, Hollywood colorists, editors, and SFX specialists are all revealing their DR secrets on YouTube and you can follow along with how some of the best people in the industry edit, color grade, and composite feature length films.

I tried it, not a fan at all and I may be wrong but I think it does not support H.265. The paid version is pretty expensive at almost $600 and you only get a year of updates. I think if you use a lot of SFX or add-ons it would definitely be easier to do so with Hitfilm; but for the work I do, DR is the much better option. For years DR was sorely lacking as an NLE and was mainly known for its color grading capabilities but that all changed with version 16.

I use DaVinci Resolve Studio to edit pretty much any video. I've edited a few 4K videos from the EVO II Pro 6K using it, with excellent results.

You can get the Studio version by paying $300.00 (perpetual license), or buying certain Blackmagic Design hardware (I think they're including it with the Speed Editor [or vice-versa] right now). Autel also has LUT's for DaVinci Resolve.

If you have an Intel-based machine, Magix Movie Edit Pro is another good choice. It will run on Intel or AMD machines, but needs an Intel GPU for hardware encoding (at least the last time I checked).

Filmora is also very good, especially considering its low cost.

 

[Rattlebars]

Filmora won't run on my old Toshiba. Laff if you will, but I'm using movie maker because I have only been running 1080p. For 4 k I'm using Power director but it takes 2-3 hours to render 4 k FOR 3 MINUTE VIDEO!
