Mmm I have a different experience. For me other NLE tools were more crashy than Resolve. Resolve also has an incredible feature set and with a one-time payment is a terrific deal. But years ago, it was very much bug-ridden for sure.

I mean, I just used it last month whatever the latest version was. It didn’t freeze at startup but all the other issues were still there.

I can’t see myself paying for that. What I do now can be done using a mix of free software (ffmpeg, etc.) and if I were to go pro and have less time for tinkering then it’d be FCP for me…

I have been using resolve since they added editing functionality (it used to only be for color correction) and I have never had any of those issues. I have the paid studio version and have used it for commercial and private work. It is also a lot less crash happy than premiere which I ditched for resolve and never looked back.

Maybe there is something wrong with you system?

Unlikely. This has been the case on 3 different laptops and multiple macOS versions and Resolve versions.

I use it pretty infrequently nowadays and I admit I didn’t see the startup freeze in a couple months (either I am lucky or they finally fixed it in a recent update), the undo glitch is alive as ever though.

Some other things off the top of my head:

• UI freezes for a second or two when you switch to Fusion tab.

• If you adjust speed in a Fusion node, timeline clip remains the same length, so if you slow it down 2x you can only see the first half. To say Fusion in general is half-baked is to be very, very generous.

• Export location gets reset every launch.

• Can’t copy-paste a node or its settings, in case you want to test between two different configurations.

Even the aforementioned RawTherapee (which is made using Qt I think and which is far from a shining example of usability) is more pleasant to use for me.
