Totally fair, node-based editing takes time to get used to but at the same time you will not be adding hundreds of nodes (even on commercial projects I usually find myself using less than 10 of them when necessary). Also I have to give points to the dude at 0:18, h264 really isn't for editing, at least from a professional standpoint. H264 is already compressed and encoded, so instead of editing the raw files, your computer has to also de-compress and then de-code them, adding 2 extra steps and using more resources. Though if you only edit youtube videos made up of screen recordings then there really isn't much of a choice as those will always be saved in some sort of a compressed format.
Right, thanks for summing up why H.264 isn't ideal for professional work. The reason I highlighted that comment is that I find it ridiculous that they completely ignored...uhh...the last 15 years of the internet? Like you said, editing TH-cam videos, where random people record random things with whatever equipment they have lying around and post it for fun. You can't really expect them to have equipment that can record in raw, the storage space for it, and the processing power to edit a 8 minute unboxing of an iPad or 1 minute short on a game trivia subject. So the comment came across as needlessly arrogant.
You don't need to use the fusion's node editor for simple FX... You can just DRAG AND DROP THEM. Fusion is for more precise adjustment and custom FX And I used to use AE and still use it for Mo-graphs every now and then but once you go node editing, layer editing seems hugely incomplete and less powerful. Fusion is made with complex VFX shots in mind. And if you have lag issues while playback in resolve or fusion just check the playback settings... It's either set to full resolution or 16-bit... Programs like AE usually have playback default at 8 bit.
I didn't really have issues with playback in Resolve, it's one of the areas where it's way better than Camtasia, but my system specs at the time (8GB DDR3, 2GB GDDR5, Haswell processor) weren't ideal. As for the FX, I may have watched the wrong tutorials then, I was recommended to use the nodes to make a custom keyframe animation (eg. a screenshot of a website floating from left to right).
@@luxiyama Yep, animation keyframes are much better on the fusion page than on the edit page but you don't have to use them if you don't want to... And yes Resolve is not for low-powered PCs. You can also Hitflim Express and/or Pro
With this, I'm finally done remaking all the videos I've posted back in 2022 and then deleted. A lot of them were a lot worse and didn't really get to the point, but now this, the 2001 laptop, and the War Thunder video are finally done properly. I'll be focusing on what the channel will mostly be about, game and anime analyses and introspectives, for example that second Genshin problems video, so stay tuned for that. There will be multiple uploads per week for a bit until I catch up to my schedule.
I started using davinchi resolve i absolutely hated fusion tap but now the best thing i love about davinchi resolve is fusion tab actually if you understand node based workflow once you will never go back it is not for adding cuts or trimming it is for composting motion graphics, and vfx even if you edit for TH-cam you should use professional tools so that software don't hold you back if you get used to any software its very hard to upgrade even your software and feels limited to you that's why its better to start with professional tool like priemer pro and aftereffects or davinchi resolve even though don't learn them properly right now
Bad performance is a now go for a video editor. And yu dont have to use Fusion for effects, you can use most basic effects in the edit or color page. Camtasia and most of the others might be ok at first, but as soon as you have a little more requirements you are screwed. Camtasias effects might be super easy, but you are limited to a hand full pre made effects. In Davinci,you have the tools for literaly everything. Fusion, yes might look hard at first, but Node based systems are the standart in nearly every professional software for a reason, look at Blender, Nuke, UE, Unity, Houdinie, etc...
Camtasia is an entry level editor with basic functions. Its not free , there is a one time purchase fee, but any updates will require you to pay again.
Brah, all the major VFX software for film/TV/game production uses node-based editing in some form. The only holdouts are Adobe stuff because they are too deeply entrenched. Once you get the workflow, going back to layers is like working with stone-age tools.
I've seen several people echo this sentiment, and I don't necessarily objectively disagree, that's not what the video is about. It's kind of like a "validation video" for everyone like me who prefers something else (for now).
Yeah, that's the point I was trying to get across. So people who don't need an offroader know they don't have to get one just because the majority of people online tell them they **have** to.
@@luxiyaman the other hand, if you need to go to large shopping you should have a car, and that is quite possible zou will need to do sooon, so having a car is not a bad idea.
I think you are speaking a lot of feelings instead of being logical. Fusion is node based, just like Nuke which is the industry standard compositing software that's uses in practically every movie. Nodes are procedural and logical, layers are more intuitive but limited and not as flexible for complex stuff. Fusion has been around since the 80s and has been used to make 1000s movies, it's def a not a kids toy. You are def right, Resolve used to cost upwards of 800k in the 90s and still to this date it's being used to grade the biggest movies and tv shows, it's def not for "dumb youtubers''.
I respect your opinion, but I do have to disagree on the point you're trying to make that just because it's being used on the highest production content for decades, it's somehow the best. I think it IS the best, but because of its features + price, not pedigree. (In fact, I personally value amateur content made for fun rather than profit way more than anything professional. But that's a sidenote). Choice exists for a reason, and not everyone might like node-based editing, just like people might not like manual transmission cars, or Nvidia cards, or gas stoves, etc, etc.) So I want people to know that they have options, and not everyone will be flaming them in the comments if they don't choose the mainstream option.
I mean, this video is obviously edited so I must know something at least🤷♀ Not everyone is a professional videographer who uses a RED 8k and does color grading. To most people, a smartphone recording and basic cuts are more than enough. And you don't need the most professional tool for those. I'm actually not sure if something changed since 2021, but I had to look up a Fusion tutorial to get that arrow animation, which is what inspired the whole video in the first place.
@@BleepingWorld but in my opinion you limit yourselfe with that to grow and get better and if you learn resolve from the start you can do with a little learning the same things as easy in camtasia and if you find out that you need a more complex functionality during a project this functionality is only a youtube tutorial away.
I mean you can do the same on davinci. i use davinci because it looks great it works great and i also like the features it has. Also the nodes just makes sense to me, i like to play with the nodes it's almost the same as layers but a little better organized
That's awesome if you can pick up the node workflow so well. I read that it's how professionals train so it may be more intuitive to you if you had an education specifically related to editing or VFX.
I personally Love Davinci Resolve, but I def do agree about all of the points you made. DEF ABOUT FUSION!! I actually took a fun class back in high-school that involved video editing, and I used DR to edit all of my videos for it. So, that is why I am relatively decent with it now. But mannnnn I def do NOT recommend it to a new user that just wants to splice up a basic meme video.
See, maybe if I took a course like you it would have been easier. I don't mind learning it and eventually switching, this video was more of a "hey other people online, you have alternatives, don't think there's just one option" kind of deal. Especially with how many NLE editors are out there.
It depends on what kind of file formats you work with. I'd use the trial (keep in mind it has a watermark) to see if you like using it and if all your files are supported. If it all works ok, it's a pretty high price ($300), but it's worth it long-term and I can recommend it. Alternatively, if you don't want to pay, try out some of the other recommendations I made like Kdenlive. Of course, you could also see if Davinci is easy to use for you, and if not trying some of the other options.
You can do FX in more or less the same way in DR, as in that other NLE. You can even move your cursor across a FX and it will show you, what it does. As for Fusion, well its not convoluted, but that of course depends on your needs. It is extremely powerful and 90% of all pro software for 3D modeling, composition and so on, uses nodes. Its only really Adobe software and a few other pro tools, that uses layers. And they are a mess to use. But for common effects, just use the built in FX and you never have to use Fusion. And they all have adjustment parameters and keyibg for doing what you demonstrate in the video. That said, I don't think the software is for you. It's a professional tool, not really meant for beginners or simple videos. As for those who write online you should swith to DaVinci, they are not wrong. But they come from a different place, than you do. Usually people who have used Premiere Pro /After Effects or other similar software, for more complex work, than you do. And you are not wrong, cause DR isn't the best choice for you.
You're right, and I did say in the video that I can excuse a cluttered UI because any UI needs some time to get used to. It's the UX that's the problem, or the interaction, how easy is it to get to a menu, or specific option, etc.
bruh I just stopped using camtasia YESTERDAY and im learning davinci right now and this shows on my recommended page D: I agree w the stuff on the video, but I'm mainly picking davinci bc of the auto removing silent parts-thing they have, and that you can hear the video when scrolling but really good video, keep stuff up :D
That's a convenient feature, since you used Camtasia you probably know how you have to manually cut and then separate audio from video (or lower audio levels). One of the reasons why DaVinci is objectively better. I hope you manage to quickly learn everything and get back to editing ^^
Nope, it's $330 per license, but that'll be gone soon, they're switching to a $200/year subscription model :/ So if you want a perpetual license for the current version that you can use forever, now's the last chance. Or, you know, sail the high seas...
I made some Camtasia Tuts. I don't make them often because they get no love. Even though it is the easiest most time saving editor available.
