I would also recommend Resolve. Once you get over the unique quirks, I think there’s a edit style consistency between FCP7, Premiere, and Resolve. Tutorials should help get you quickly acquainted, too. I didnt have the same problem RL had, but I did skip the fall update because of issue with slow playback. They just released another update (16.2) recently so hopefully they fixed that.
I totally need lessons 😃
I’ve got resolve and Premiere. Aside from the VERY basics I’ve not touched an edit since 2004, so I’m totally behind the curve on working the software now.
I have so much difficulty with audio.
- Let’s say I wanted to tinker with either Hal’s or your work using the 30+gb MKV/H.264’s
Neither software seem to recognise the audio codec’s, so there’s that as my first hurdle.
But somehow I overcame that, but then I could not work out crossfading and level adjustment.
Once upon a time you could adjust it direct from the audio line and raise/lower the gain using markers and ‘keyframes’
That seemingly no longer exists and I’m out of touch 😦
