  RE: Seeking opinions on Davinci Resolve and Fusion
  I came lurking after reading the announcement of Catalyst Suite. What I read pretty much confirmed my thoughts. Glad I didn't move back to SCS products. I've been testing Resolve Lite 11.3 for the past month and a half or so. It reads OFX

  RE: Seeking opinions on Davinci Resolve and Fusion
  I don't use or have a need for Fusion, so I can't comment, but I use Resolve all the time for colour correction. There is a rudimentary editor in the current version of Resolve, but not a great deal of use to me, so I still use Vegas. Blackmagic

  Seeking opinions on Davinci Resolve and Fusion
  By now I'm sure there are several here who are using Davinci Resolve and/or Fusion on a regular basis. Before I invest my time in installing, learning and working with these applications, I am interested in hearing what user here think of them. As I

  You might also want to look at Blackmagic Fusion. It's pro software that has recently has been made free. And I mean free. Be advised though, it's node based programming so takes a little getting used to. I also have Hitfilm 2 Ultimate, but

  RE: If not Vegas for 4k then what?
  I doubt you will be able to edit 4k for free with blackmagic. BM has always done the carrot software thing, and put the real functionality behind a paid license. If you can not edit 4k in vegas, my guess the problem is the end user, and not

  Maybe Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve 12 free version (when it's released) might be an alternative for those who are having difficulties with 4k in VP?

  RE: NAB: Catalyst Edit to replace Vegas Pro?
  I know that Vegas has a wealth of small, but valuable features and it is almost certain that Resolve will not have a lot of them now, but if it continues to develop at the rate it has so far, it won't be long before those features are in place.

  RE: NAB: Catalyst Edit to replace Vegas Pro?
  I would be more inclined to keep an eye on Da Vinci Resolve in the future, as it may leave all the other NLEs in its dust. Apparently, Blackmagic have centred the development of Resolve in Singapore and have over a 100 people working on it. And

  RE: Any NAB Vegas news?

  RE: Terrible Render Preview Window Performance
  The FX4800 is very low end for GPU timeline / rendering, it is basically a 260 desktop card. The K series would be the modern versions. Vegas will only render one GPU anyways. Try a 290X or if you need workstation graphics a w9100. 290x and

  RE: What rec frame rate & bit rate would u choose ?
  Depends on what your output / display format is going to be. I mostly shoot in 1080p@30fps with the highest bite rate the camera has. Then batch render the trimmed footage to XDCAM-ex for timeline editing. XDCAM has much lower system

  RE: Can''t load BMPCC clips into Vegas Pro 13
  Looks like a problem for Blackmagic and Sony to figure out. I don't think you're missing anything. Any recent version of QuickTime for the PC supports reading ProRes files. Since it works on Vegas Pro 12.0 it sure sounds like a bug in Vegas Pro

  RE: Installing and using the Acid DNxHD codec in Vegas
  I do not know why here is still stated that one cannot work in Vegas with 10bit. That is very very wrong. Here we have a camera that seems to deliver trud 10bit too. So this is still a valid possibility. For the Blackmagic codec - I would test
