Editing Software Filmora9 or DaVinci

DaVinci resolve has a free version, and filmora 9 has trials, if you have a TB licences you can get a trial of Filmora, both are great, but it really depends which one you like using more!
We use premiere pro for all the video projects at TubeBuddy it's awesome! If you need a free tip your toes in version there is adobe rush
I just have one problem with Premiere Pro:We use premiere pro for all the video projects at TubeBuddy it's awesome! If you need a free tip your toes in version there is adobe rush
I record my gaming sessions with Streamlabs OBS, so I have my Overlays, Facecam, all set up as I want it, click on record and have my file. Only Problem: It saves as .flv which is not supported by Premiere Pro. Thats a big minus in my mind!
Nevermind...just figured out yesterday, that you can change this setting in Streamlabs OBS. I just changed to .mp4 and will give it a try today to edit with Premiere Pro
I use Filmora9, I have used flimors for a few years, for both YT and other professional standard videos i use for work...once you get to grips with the way the program works I find it very easy (chromascreen isn't that hot though IMHO). I would recommend it, and the Transitions/Audio that come with it are good, with the option to buy others should you need to
That's exactly a big point for me: Chromakeying. I do not have the best lighting yet for my greenscreen and often strugle with the chroma. I found out, that the chromakeying in Streamlabs OBS works better than in Shotcut, which I currently use. I hope that Premiere Pro does an even better job
I fine Filmora's ChromaKey is very sensitive to the slightest shadow...if your background is 100% smooth and flat (and well lit) it may work well for you, I think you get a X days free trial...have a look...it is a good program, but like most people get used to the ones we work with lol
I purchased Filmora9 and find that it it is easier to use if you are making simple adjustments to video files. I installed recently and have been using DaVinci Resolve more as I get into timelapse videos.
Now if you haven't I really recommend trying both of these. I actually went to use DaVinci Resolve first but it crashed a lot as it has pretty beefy requirements and my computer couldn't handle it where as Filmora9 worked perfectly fine. I upgraded to a newer CPU (Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB RAM) but still hit issues sometimes with my graphics card (PNY GTX 1060 3GB).
In the end I still use both as I feel DaVinci takes more work to do simple changes than Filmora9.
FYI I'm editing 4K at 30FPS video.
If you have any specific questions I might be able to answer let me know!

I just started using DaVinci and it's amazing! A little confusing when you first start but give it time and you'll learn. There are also a bunch of videos on YouTube that teach you how to use it!
I have not used DaVinci however have used Fimora9, and so far I have no complaints! It is packed with features and easy to learn and use. It is very cost effective too, and I believe one of the TubeBuddy perks for a paid license is 30% off Fimlmora9... only wish I knew of this before I bought it, lol! However I do not regret getting it.
I noticed davinci is very demanding on pc hardware, I have the fx-6300 six core processor and mine crashes even doing 1080p, not sure how filmora would do as I never used it
That is more than enough processor the question becomes RAM (16GB minimum) and Graphics Card. I know I have 16GB RAM so I can't use Fusion (requires 32GB) and my Graphics Card also gets maxed out at times. So I agree Davinci is a resource hog.
Filmora ran on a 10 year old AMD phenom processor with 4 GB of ram without a real issue. Although I had to let it create smaller files or it would stutter.
