I’ve used all four for real client work, and I love them differently. It definitely took me 3 months to really learn AVID. I really love editing on it now. I’ve been switching between Resolve for shorter projects and Avid for longer ones. I use Final Cut for clients who just want to make up to 60 vids for social. I completely agree with what he said about not quitting. If you love editing, you won’t let any piece of tool stop you-and learning something new a long the way is always rewarding.

I have been waiting patiently for this episode Am glad its finally here

AVID is fucking fantastic I love the hell out of that program. I edit small cooking TV shows for contracting clients in other states and archive news segments for an ABC Affiliate. We only use AVID media composer when archiving footage, it's just a perfect tool for cutting and archiving. The simplicity and power of how AVID was designed just makes a lot of sense. Now I do agree that it's not the easiest program to learn. It took me almost a year with a thousand hours of editing to truly master everything AVID offers. I'm already well acquainted with premiere pro however I still think Premiere Pro is better suited for smaller project because of its ability to integrate AE and Illustrator. But AVID works just as well for KZread. I can get the job done faster with AVID media because of its amazing keys and functionality.

Wow #toavid is the future

You can't learn an editing software in just few days, trying to edit a single project. It appears that you miss some basic knowledge in Media Composer, so it doesn't work for you. For example: 1. You can in Media Composer, change the angle in multi cam edit without going to the beginning of the clip. (ALT+CLICK the angel, or right click the clip in the timeline) 2. You put your cursor on a filler and expect a color effect to be applied. You have an on screen text box saying you can't apply a segment correction to a filler. 3. You don't loose anything when working with dual mono tracks. You can easily keep your PAN (It's just a one time option to set) And this are just few examples. I am sure your export problem could be easily solved. So, on the one hand I don't expect you (or anyone) to know any software in just few days, but on the other, posting a "compare" video, when you miss some basic stuff is not that good i think.

Hi! You make a good point, however I do believe it's still valuable in the sense of seeing how easy/difficult it would be to switch from premiere to each of these programs. Of course spending years on each program would allow you to learn more about how each of them work, but if you're thinking of switching, you probably won't keep using all of them at the same time until you decide to switch. Also, it wasn't a few days. It was a few weeks of tutorials before actually even opening the programs. Plus all the bits of experience I had prior to starting the comparison :) But thanks for sharing the answers to some of the problems I had!

Avid can be used for KZread. It’s actually a pretty easy program to learn. The color correction didn’t work for you because you probably didn’t put a CC effect on your clip. Can’t say why you couldn’t export, but transcoding to DNxHD would probably have helped but I’ve had no problems export on a AMA timeline. Also Avid is rock solid stable when it comes to editing. And super quick once you get the hang of it. So sure - it cannot beat Premiere with how well it integrates with After Effects and Photoshop but - neither can FCP or Resolve. Fusion is powerful, but talk about learning curve. And Motion is terrible so you’d probably choose to do workflows with After Effects even if your a FCP/Resolve/Avid editor.

Great video man. Fellow South African and Resolve user here. Quick comment on 8:37 - When you drag an audio clip to the timeline in Resolve, it changes the audio track to either stereo or mono based on the first clip you drag onto the track. If the first clip you insert is in mono, that whole track will become a mono track. In your example, you probably inserted a mono clip onto an existing stereo track. If you just dragged that mono clip down onto a new track, it would automatically create a mono track for you.

One thing with FCP is to use smart collections (and keywords). You can create “bins” on the fly by selecting the metadata you want to use (haven’t used FCP in while, so I may have over simplified it).

The thing about DaVinci Resolve is that you don’t have to worry about Premiere Pro's dynamic linking. If you're working with log footage, you need to set up the color space correctly. Additionally, if you want to extend a clip, you need to redo the whole process, which is frustrating. In contrast, with Fusion, you can accomplish this easily. While there is a bit of a learning curve, it's not too difficult. I learned the basic tools and then gradually explored other nodes by going through the manual. And it’s fantastic. And also the recent version ui of premiere is all cluttered

Just found this today, but yes you can edit clips in the Fairlight panel, really strange you couldn't figure this out. If you needed access to the media pool you just have to click it to open it up. And you can definately just drag clips as needed. Odd. Personally I find fairlight extremely powerful. And you can also just change the track from stereo to mono if needed.

I use Avid on a daily basis, but appreciate what the other editors have to offer. Avid handles long-form really well, but like you said, it's not a compositing tool. Premiere is frustrating from the standpoint of their buggy releases. DR has some really interesting features and you can't beat it's color grading. Great summation!

Minut 2 : you say FCPX needs to import the footage into his library .. thats wrong you can choose what you do with it. You can leave in place or import..

Howzit bro you just got yourself a subscriber. I am a final cut user myself for work related or personal stuff. To be honest with you, I have never met anyone who uses AVID Media in RSA. I have met very few people who have jumped ship to Da Vinci from FCPX and PP. I think the reason why a lot of people use PP a lot is because of its cross platform (which I think Da Vinci is sneaking its way up there) whereas FCP is only Mac OS which does suck (and updates are very seldom). anyway cheers!

Very high quality videos

I have used all four and busy switching over to resolve from premiere, my verdict: FCPX - I haven't used really, only the older versions of FCP but those felt too user friendly, akin to using Windows Movie Maker on windows 7, felt too simplistic to be taken seriously.. I then got a tv job where I was editing long format episodes on Avid for about 4 years. Avid - is great, really makes alot of sense with work flow, but it is unnecessarily complicated and feels like a deliberate ploy to keep the masses out, kind of like how medical jargon is written in latin... Like why all these extra steps I have to learn and remember 🤷🏽‍♂️ Premiere Pro - Love it, been the standard for the longest time, crashes sometimes, especially on "heavy" effects but I think this is also machine depended.. All that being said, I hate a subscription model - as a freelancer who also subcontracts for other production houses with their own gear and software, I find payment that subscription a nuisance in the months I hardly use it for my own projects (which include photography work mostly).. Which has lead me to the program I'm currently learning.. Da Vinci Resolve - the way I feel about this program (granted its only been 3days of youtube University and learning from scratch) is, like when I first discovered Lightroom - where has the product been my whole life and why did it take me so long to switch!? I haven't been using resolve long, but it feels like the one for the future, I'm still using the free version and will be getting the full program soon, then I won't have the stress of subscriptions and just use it when I need. Switch my adobe plan to the PS and Lightroom package (more resonable - wish there was a once purchase too)..so Da Vinci looks promising won't lie - now just to re-learn all the crap you can do in Premiere. Also side note, thinking it will be hard to switch between programs for work flow.. As my clients will be using Premiere for the fore-see able future..and I'll be using and trying to upskill my resolve editing.. Eish, that might be a hassle.. lol

As a audio engineer that got into film editing I Primarily use Avid Media Composer then Final Cut Pro as Secondary. Why? Avid is Amazing with Project Organization and Audio, Avid is the Only NLE software you can directly Punch in Audio, and now you can Directly Export audio from Media Composer to Pro Tools which I really like. I use Final Cut Pro as Secondary because I’m a Mac User, It’s a one time $300 purchase and I love the built in sound Effects, Titles, and Effects.

Avid is good for KZread. You need to perform both a video mixdown and audio mixdown before exporting, especially when using effects.

to be honest i was here just to see which is more stable than the other, even when a hefty pc premiere is a pain with huge projects, even when i use proxies. i was looking to davinci resolve for a while now, but i'm not realy sure as i use dynamic links a lot, but if it's more stable than premiere i would go for it

I use adobe audition to do my audio. i only use ppr for when i need a quick and easy audio effects. dynamic linking is just the best. the performance of adobe though can suck.

Not transcoding was bad, but you should have tried to mixdown your sequence before doing what you did (Mixing down in Avis is the act of making a brand new MXF of the contend that you have selected in you sequence, and yes, it can be the all sequence.) It bakes all the effects, and then Avid doesn't have to process them on export, which, exporting your AMA linked sequence with effects on every of those AMA clips is probably what failed you export. But I'm pretty sure Avid would have mixdowned that same sequence without any issues. Also, I usually export a Prores or an MXF and compress to H.264 outside of Avid. Avid can do it, but it takes a lot of time for some reason. I only export to H.264 from avid very short clips that I need to send a producer for approval like less than 10mn.

I think one thing to consider and why AVID is so popular is enterprise/group work on a project. AVID was built from the ground up to work well with multiple users in the project at the same time and often it will be on a Nexis system allowing multiple users to edit within the project simultaneously. I know Premiere and maybe DaVinci have started to implement more functionality in that regard but from what I can tell Avid is still the best at this. This also made AVID remote friendly years before remote work became the norm. While it’s definitely not the one stop shop of Premiere or DaVinci it’s still the best at handling multiple users in a project simultaneously.

Premiere has to take the crown in export with it's Media Encoder, u can carry on working and preparing other sequences while it exports.

You can do the same thing with FCPX. You can export one or more timelines at once and continue working.

I am starting a new job at a tv station and they are using Avid which gives me PTSD. I first had it at an ABC station and all the computers were crap and it constantly did what you had it do in color mode, and the computers would lock up until it finished exporting so I was using 4 computers at once. Once a year I try very hard to get Avid to work, but it always ends up breaking on me with windows magically flying around then I change a workspace, new ones poping up anytime I load in, and the video preview windows stretching horizontally. And the constant breaks like what you had in color mode. I start this job on tuesday and I'll have less than a week to be Avid Certified. I have technically been avid certified since 2016 and the ABC station, but I have never, ever gotten Avid to work. Im beyond upset with the program, and I think Avid might be the reason I end up let go. If anyone could explain how or why Avid would be breaking so much for so many years on different systems, tell me. Every other NLE is gravy.

I’ve used all of these editors for the past ten years. Each one has its up- and downsides. FCPX is my choice for 70% of the stuff I do. It’s fast, it’s concept is very good and it isn’t overloaded with stuff I don’t need. Avid MC has, hands down, the best trimming tool I’ve ever used, but it’s clunky for fast delivery. For longer projects (short movies and Web series) I either use Ppro or Avid. I’ve edited a lot in DVR lately. It’s actually quite good as an editor too. Outstanding as a grading tool. The points U made In your Video are obsolete cause you don’t know Avid MC well enough.

AVID is clunky for fast delivery? How?

@@annoyken Well actually it used to be. Exports one by one , no batch function. Probably better now. But still a pain in the ass. I have the cloud subscription and I’m trying to get it to work with avid support to no avail. Meanwhile I finished three projects on ppro, FCPX and Resolve w/o issues.. so much for that. That’s real live usability issues here..

@@digitalearbeit i guess it comes down to use cases. Avid tech support has always been terrible, about on par with Adobe but with a smaller base of forum users to help out. I’ve never worked in your work flow, so maybe that’s why I haven’t experienced any export issues. The last time I was finishing on Avid all day was in a tv station and environment where all the footage was transcoded before edit then sent to live play out. The deadlines were really tight and exporting was fast - but then again, I didn’t need to export to multiple formats, the company had software that auto cued and exported aired footage into web flavors = h264, prores hd, wrapped in mp4 and mov

@@annoyken Well yeah it comes down to use cases. But in my Case the application just doesn't work at all. I am trying to encode AMA Media to omf resulting in constant crashes. The Avid Forum is full of this problem. So it isn't about use cases, its about an application that is severely buggy..

@2:54 that FCP feature annoys me to no end, I use keyword collections instead. You can automatically create them by "folder name" when you import media.

Good tip!! Thanks for sharing :)

I wonder why Premiere is always lauded for its integration with After Effects, but never FCPX's integration with Motion. Btw. this is the most underrated application in Apples software lineup. Would like to see Lightworks added if there is a future instalment of this. I had a brief encounter with this a long time ago. As it is still around would be interesting to see how it copes today.

That's a fair question. I guess I, like most other effects guys, tried Motion years ago and just stopped using it for one reason or another. That could be a good video in itself. Comparing Motion to AE. Cool! Yeah we want to perhaps do another episode of this. Vegas is another program that some people have suggested to us. Stay tuned :)

@@LoopedPictures Long time Vegas user here... Vegas is the underdog that packs a serious punch. When it comes to workflow nothing comes even remotely close. One thing though: by default it opens without the trimmer window, which is an easy fix: View>Window Layouts>Vegas 14 Default. And you're all set. Note: 14 is the last Vegas version under Sony. Good video BTW! Cheers! ♫♪

As much as I hate transcoding, I do it in all programs. The snappiness of working with transcoded footage is well worth the time it takes. Anything that gets in the way when editing is something that needs to be deleted. It's the zone you get in and having to fuss around with this or that little thing to twiddle a dial... nonsense, get rid of it. Editing is akin to playing music. Once you are into a cut anything that pulls you out is detrimental in my opinion and that includes waiting for that half or quarter second after hitting play when working with non-transcoded non-native footage.

Best reply to this thread! Yes. Transcode always. The time you save not transcoding, you lose and then some - in time waste while editing. Also, if you have a severely under preforming workstation, do proxies, same thing - front load your ‘wasted’ time and you edit sessions will be smooth and more creative

Hi Nikhil! Yeah this experiment focused only on Editing Video and Sound, we do want to explore Fusion a bit more for visual effects work in the future :)

Why am I just now hearing about avid? why doesn't everyone use it over PP or davinci?

Avid has been the go to for Hollywood and broadcast for years. It used to be the only reliable program that you could trust to get the job done. That has changed a lot recently, and now people have a lot of options. However, as I said in the video. I would not recommend it for anyone who is not working directly in Hollywood, or equivalent studio systems around the world. But if you are trying to get into high end film and TV. Definitely worth learning.

Not particularly really, but it is a lot easier to roundtrip to Pro Tools since theyre both avid products. And you do get a lot of Pro Tools plug ins with Media Composer, a lot of people would say that the main benefit is just how strong the workflow is and how stable the program is for long form films and TV. But you really need to spend the time to learn how it all works and fits together. Especially if you've never used it before

The statement that Resolve is better for the color correction does not correspond to reality. Avid represents industry standard Workflow for television and cinema, and not just a program as other participants. It makes no sense to reason what of them is better. This dispute is similar to a comparison of Blender vs 3DSMAX vs Maya OR After Effects vs Nuke. If you are working in the industry (or are you planning to join it), not in the garage, then you choose industry tools that are suitable for integration systems, where there is a division of labor and media server.

True. But to be fair. Working as a freelancer means not needing industry standard programs. Actually as a freelancer it’s best to know a bit of all of them. Most often clients don’t care what you use to edit on or create mographs on, as long as you deliver. If your working for a shop that has separate divisions for Edit and Color, then yeah...learn Avid if you want to be and editor and Divinci if you want to sit in the colorists chair...with the caveat that you learn how to use the Davinci console too...cuz that’s what will make you work quickly and justify your $120k+ salary

I don't know about which one I think you should use, but from your video, I get the impression you like DaVinci Resolve the best after Premiere Pro.

Very good question! I like to use the music lyrics as sort of the 'dialogue' in the script and then just write action and scene headings as usual with the lyrics to anchor the pacing of the video :)

Thanks! Looking forward to lean more from you!

You need to select just one video track at a time to colour grade in avid you had 3 selected at once, Avid doesn't like that

4:54 "you always have to go to the beginning of the clip in order to change the angle" I disagree for DaVinci Resolve. If you want to change the angle of a clip, all you have to do is make sure the clip is selected then hold Alt + the number of the angle you want (1, 2, 3, 4.. etc) doesn't matter where the playhead is as long as the correct clip is selected 8:15 if you want to add a sound effect while on the Fairlight page, you need to click on Media Pool on the top left and drag it on to the timeline (still in Fairlight) ... 8:43 or.. you could just right-click on the channel > "change track type" and select Mono...

I´m gonna guess you bulldozed your way through Media Composer until you hit a wall and stalled. Solid effort and it's kinda impressive getting to the export with zero experience. My mom once refuelled my Porsche using diesel oil, ignored all the lights and finally stalled on the highway. She did managed to hitch a ride home. In a Subaru before switching over into a Nissan for the final 1 mile stretch. I don't... I... I've never owned a Porsche. But still, I think the analogy holds up
