I use an ASUS STRIX GTX 980ti as my main, and a ASUS STRIX GTX 1050ti as only CUDA support, which works amazingly well in my 2012 MAC Pro.With Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve Studio 17 you get support for up to 120 fps at stunning 3K resolution and support for multiple GPUs, delivering real time playback of professional 10‑bit formats, and accelerated H.264 and H.265 hardware decoding and encoding.ĭaVinci Resolve integrates editing, color correction, audio recording/mixing, and finishing within a single, easy to learn application. One of the cool features of DR is that it uses CUDA power from your multiple GPU's (if using the Studio version), so I have the additional horsepower in running the application in editing my 12 bit 4K RAW content. With DR, it was much better, even without working the computer hardware to capitalize on DR's abilities. In PP, I was having a horrible time getting any kind of workable playback during the editing process. I guess the final major consideration was the editing experience with 4K content. I am excited to dig into the Fusion module, to learn what the capabilities are here and see how I can implement what appears to have a lot of powerful features.

In DR, this has been very intuitive, and I never really have any surprises like I did in PP. I always hated the PP way of setting up the project and settings, and even setting up the final delivery.

The Fairlight Audio module has so much power in what it offers for my level of use, no reason for me to look at other options. Not really much different than the concept of layers, just much more flexible in my opinion. I feel that this is an amazing way to edit and work through the project. The editing workflow is very straight-forward for me, no complications. I like how DR has setup the "modules" within the application to guide you through the full editing process, especially in ver15 where there is really no need to bounce out of the program to do other process's, at least not for my workflow. In regards to color grading, the Tangent Elements was the hardware that I wanted to use and DR/Tangent Elements are a natural together. I wanted to work with color grading, so this was an incentive to use one of the most respected applications for this. For color grading, DR was already a very well developed product used professionally across many levels. Below are some of the main points of why I decided to go this way, starting with early DaVinci Resolve 14.

This is even after previously using PP years prior, even though I admit I didn't use PP as an everyday working tool at the time. Generally, getting back into video editing I found that DR was more "intuitive" for me in the use of the application and workflow.
