perhaps a 'simple-mode' which hides the bulk of the complexity and provides a skin that delivers really basic editing and grading tools (much like the cut-page was supposed to) whilst hiding all the unnecessary complexity and extra options. So maybe some thought should be given to more accurately (or agressively) setting expectations and requirements right up front.Įg: Resolve is a professional editing and grading tool quick requires adequately spec'd hardware and may have a significant learning curve - if your needs are more modest and your hardware less capable, there may be better tools for you' It seems that a lot of new users are coming to Resolve with much more basic requirements - then finding that the software places a significant load on their 'budget' hardware (especially when using the non-studio version with the long-GOP codecs often found on consumer camera gear).Ī lot of the queries seem to be related to inadequate hardware or perhaps simply because Resolve isn't the best tool for the job (nobody needs a sledgehammer to push a thumbtack into the wall).

Perhaps a 'Windows Movie Maker' mode for newbs? (only half joking).
