I downloaded it when I got my Win11 system. I've done a bit of editing of some video, basically just cuts and pastes, but it seemed very straightforward. I just haven't had much video to edit this year.
I've used Cyberlink's Powerdirector for so long that I need to relearn a system.

It's as good as it is, for as long as it lasts.
I have Davinci, but have only played with it. I use Vegas Pro for my video editing. If there is an audio track, I edit it in Reaper. Works better for me, I don't really want to learn another piece of software when I am happy with what I've been using.

I use Premiere, but have lots of friends who swear by Resolve. I do have it on the system, but it's just different enough to need serious work to learn the differences, so I'll stick with what I know. I asked two and they say 100% stable, NO audio issues. It is no help I know, but your computer spec is better than one of them, and their is stable. My thought is that maybe it's a driver issue with your interface. In the studio I have a machine that works mainly on Premiere, but also has Cubase installed. If I load Cubase up and run that, if I also start Adobe Audition - which is called from within premiere if you want to do a quick process on a video audio track - odd things sometimes happen. Sync might be lost and the audio track in premiere has slipped during the journey out and back. It does NOT do this if cubase is not running. Yesterday, after closing audition, pressing record in cubase refused to record the left channel. It took a reboot to fix this. Maybe your system is having similar issues making it unstable?

Resolve is an incredibly powerful video editor -- free, so basically the Reaper of video editors, and the paid features are very much for people who are making blockbusters. A waste of money for anyone else IMO, and btw I don't know of any limitations to the audio mode (Fairlight) within the free version.
I'm certain you can do film audio in it, but music? Certainly not well, in my experience. For my music vids I do the audio in Reaper (I do now own Harrison MixBus so might do that next project around), and drop a render mp3 into Resolve to sync up my video clips.

Can it not handle a WAVE or FLAC?

Video editors make very basic audio editors, the same as Cubase, my DAW can edit video - but it's ultra basic. As a result, I use Cubase AND Adobe Premiere - they both do different things.

Yes ofc it can, final video render I do with a .wav file but if I'm still in the process of mixing it doesn't matter.

Yea, that makes perfect sense. Just read like it would only handle MP3s. Thanks for the clarification and info.

It is a unnecessarily complex app - seems to have been built by non video people - i use and enjoy iMovie and Final Cut - both of which have low learning curve but produce great results.

Yes, it's complex, but that's probably because it is geared more towards commercial movie and TV production. DaVinci is very much designed by video people. Black Magic's primary business is video, including cameras, video switching system, and encoders.

Ahh I didn’t know if was Black Magic - but still it seems unnecessarily complicated to me.

Didn't realise there was a video section here! I had years on Premiere, but got sick of the crashes and Adobe and have been Resolve only for several years now. Resolve is an incredible bit of software as you have really robust sections for every part of the production cycle. If you just go through every tab and do tutorials on how they work, you'll understand the full workflow of building a solid edit from a production standpoint. Its edit pages is great, fusion is pretty powerful for comping, the colour page is the best in the game. Just a great, solid program. Coming from using audio DAWs though, the audio pages on any editor will make you feel insane. I hate them, but I understand why they're like that.

I've been using Vegas Pro 18 for a while now and while I like it - I have had issues with it not opening and I have to uninstall and reload the software in order to keep working. That gets old.
I will look at Resolve. Thanks.

Just saw this thread. I've been using Resolve studio since 2021 (came free with my camera). Love it, although I'm still learning stuff. I just am now starting to get into Fusion and doing all the stuff in there. Currently working on a music video using lots of effects, its coming along nicely.

I have resolve and if you upload your raw files, change it over to Proxy and it should work fine. You just have to be sure to export on the raw or original version.
Final Cut Pro was the BEST. But, like my Mac (original G5) it's obsolete. A new Mac compatible with Final Cut X is at a minimum a grand. Which I don't have.
I bought a Dell with Windows 10 for $150 to use with Reaper. Then I made a short movie, and had to buy a new graphics card that will work with Da Vinci. It's a pain in the ass program till you get used to it.
My problem right now is, exporting the movie in original footage. It just won't work. I imagine (I can't find anyone to tell me) it's because the computer just meets the minimum requirement to work.
