Why Video Editors Are Switching To DaVinci Resolve In Droves
In 2011, Blackmagic decided to release Resolve as both a paid and a free version. The free version had fewer features than the full version (as it still does), but instead of being crippled, the free version works well enough for most users, with the paid version feeling like a feature upgrade. In the dozen years since Resolve became free, it has picked up an ever-growing number of users, and the YouTube emphasis on the creator market has only increased the pace of adoption. The fact that most successful YouTube channels take years to become successful means a free editing tool is valuable.
Blackmagic has never hesitated to put a feature into Resolve. The program has many options in contextual menus, user interface choices, menu items, keyboard shortcuts, and more. There is so much here that it can be overwhelming. […] Blackmagic also releases dot-versions (like 18.1) that sometimes add enough features that it acts like a full number upgrade would if it were released by Adobe or Apple. Some of the features in Resolve 18.1, for example, unleashed the wave of recent switchers. Two significant features are buried in a list of around 20 new features in that update. The first is AI-driven Magic Mask tools that make masking people or objects a matter of drawing a line. The other prominent feature is voice isolation, another AI-based feature that removes noises from dialog tracks. Magic Mask alone is worth the price of admission. This tool makes it easy to color-correct significant portions of a shot without doing endless mask adjustments, and it also allows for instant alpha channel creation, allowing for items like text, graphics or even people to be superimposed on the same scene without needing a green screen.

Cyberpunk 2077 players are returning in droves thanks to Edgerunners
First impressions are important, and Cyberpunk 2077 players didn’t get a good one – when CD Projekt Red’s latest open-world game launched at the end of 2020, players were put off by a laundry list of bugs, which prompted a firestorm of negative publicity in both the press and player communities. The developer has put in lots of work on Cyberpunk 2077 since then, but it’s been the release of Cyberpunk Edgerunners on Netflix that’s finally prompted players to return to the game.
