Comments and Reviews
Even in the demo version (which is unlimited might I add), you can do whatever you need to do. It doesn't degrade video or audio quality and it's SUPER easy to change the volume of individual audio files. It's absolutely amazing to use even if you'll just be working on simple projects and the layout is very compact and understandable.
The simple core functions work perfectly and it has many other options and features than I have mentioned here. Absolutely amazing but really pricey, although it is a one-time purchase and I feel it would be really useful for professional filmmaking with all its features.
DaVinci Resolve, touted as Emmy award winning video editor, isn't even capable of importing MKV files in 2020. You'll have to convert all your MKV files into DVR friendly DNxHD codec/format as mentioned here , in order to even import them. No, Thank you!
I can't really review DVR on its functions or merits because after multiple attempts over multiple years across multiple Linux installs and major version revisions, one thing about it has remained consistent: it will not import or read the vast majority of media properly, if at all.
Despite every effort in troubleshooting this particular issue, it does not seem to support h.264 or h.265, MP4 or MKV despite what some people will tell you. I have no idea what format(s) it DOES support or if I can even make use of the other software I have available to transcode into such a format because every thread I've seen discussing this issue has devolved into the same go-nowhere solutions that never work for anyone and a bunch of elitist arguing about file formats while offering zero guidance in what formats WILL work with this POS software.
Add onto this the "give us your full legal name and home address" level of intrusiveness required to even download the free version of the program and it genuinely feels like a scam. If there is any halfway decent video production software available for Linux, this ain't it.
I love this app so much, it's a great alternative to Premiere!
While it technically has Linux support, I could not get it to work because it relied on packages that have updated versions, and the amount of workarounds needed after that only got worse.
i like it because the free version is more than enough and because all in one software , i think the business model of BlakcMagic Design is the best out there the company grow when you grow .
A really powerful video editor. Modern and very snappy interface. It feels very responsive. The different tabs for every specific task make up for the interface, which is very fixed and can't really be customized. Even the free version meets the needs for hobby-level projects. You will have to convert your mp4 files to mov, because mp4 is a proprietary format, that must be licensed by companies. I'm using it on Linux and strangely enough, it crashes, when the effects panel is opened for too long. When I apply the effect and close the effect panel in the edit tab, there's no problem. It would be best, if blackmagic packaged the program as flatpak or some other format which is supported more widely.
