Software Reviews and Criticism

    Doesnt launch, poor support contact

    I downloaded this app and when I click ‘open’ the app begin the launching process and then shut down without even finish launching. So I try again from launchpad instead of App Store, and getting same result. So I went to Blackmagic website in hope to contact the support by email at 11:18pm eastern time zone as I am not in hurry to get this problem fixed but was hoping it would allow support 24-48 hours to reply from that time.. but only have to call them at their toll free number during the business hour.. that’s not helpful for a deaf person who can’t hear or speak on the phone. This is internet so come on! It is ridiculous not to have email support.. So 1 star is all they get.. if they werent 100% sure of the 16 version (which I believe is still in Beta according to their website) they should have stayed with 15 and let selective clients experiment with 16 so they don’t release app with bugs.

    Once you figure out the learning curve, its FANTASTIC.

    I'm a self admitted NOOB. I'm NOOB AF to filmmaking and/or photography. I am a first time editor. So after reading the reviews, making sure I had adequate equiptment that could handle this program, and made my own study book/DaVinci bible of laymans terms in ways I can understand, I find this program EXCELENT! And I also think it's unbelievable that the free version is so insanely ample and in-depth!! 100 percent a fan. Will continue to learn new things and rad ways to use this excellent program.

    Great Software

    Ive never experienced an issue with using Davinci Resolve either downloaded directly from Blackmagic or the app store. Im thinking the other 9 people who left reviews have never worked with professional editing software or dont know how to use their equiment! You have to go to the media bin and go to the drive you want to use. BOOOOMMM theres youre files!!! ive been using Davinci since Resolve 14

    Video FX Crashing

    Hoping BlackMagic can remedy this. Some of the updates are a great and welcomed step up from Resolve 16, but each time I try to select something from the video fx, it crashes. Lost an entire project I didn't save. On me for not saving, I know... but still. I loved 16 and was considering buying the full version, but I'm naturally apprehensive about it now. After all, crashing was the reason I left Premiere and migrated this way. (btw, running a 2019 MBP 16, i9 2.4ghz 8-core, 32gb ram, 2tb SSD, AMD Radeon Pro 5500m 8gb. Shouldn't be having these issues.) Come through for us BM!
