Mine arrived on Monday. 🙂 Fantastic so far. Very pleased. And it only took 4 months to arrive. 😄

Interesting. I had my first Resolve hiccup. With a relatively simple thing too. I was trying to chop off the end and start of a vertical video from a phone and reverse the speed. But for some reason even though it could play the sound in Davinci I could not export the video with audio no matter how much I tried. I eventually decided it was taking too much time and did everything in a different software.Interesting. I had my first Resolve hiccup. With a relatively simple thing too.

I actually just got an email yesterday that they were beginning to ship the cameras to customers that ordered them in September. But I agree if something better comes onto the market and I haven't gotten mine yet... it's adios muchachos... Right now I've got a problem because I've got a project that we're doing complacently in house if I had the camera I could do the project and put the money towards some useful equipment we need or pay for the camera or anything. But I can either rent and throw money out the window or I can ask a friend for another favor and borrow his equipment again which is an option if he doesn't need it.

This is completely true. The problem with waiting is that if they say it will take a month you can plan for that but it one month turns out as six months then it's a big problem. For example right now my team is in pre-production of a music and the one thing that kept bugging me was if we were going to get the camera in time. Of course we didn't so now I have to ask a friend a favor to borrow his equipment in order to be able to shoot. Of course I can't do that every other week if you know what I mean. :)

You were right. :) I got an email a few days ago that the company is very sorry but the camera has not arrived yet and that it probably will ina month or two. Too bad it hasn't because it would come in handy for a music video shoot.

True. The keyboard was a life saver and like I said I did everything and there were no major issues just a few things that are weird. Other than that it played stuff back better than any other software. Like I was disusing with my partner if there was nothing else it would be just fine and I agree about Premiere. As for Avid I have worked on it but I can't have all the software. Like I said I hope it gets better with time and I definitely will use it but not sure if for the majority of projects.

Well the verdict is in. I just finished a project I tried to do only in Davinci and while I was able to do everything I needed I would not say that I was able to do do everything with the same ease as in the Adobe Suite. Yes it worked fluently without any problems but it did crash once but if I use proxy files in Premiere Pro it works just fine. I would say that if I didn't have the ability to use the Adobe Suite I could manage in Resolve but unfortunately I think it's just not there yet. Hope it will be because some stuff is just great. Like rendering time. Best regards.

I agree completely that the Adobe suite feels like a sluggish dinosaur at times and stability is an issue. But I still can't seem to completely abandon it for Davinci. I will definitely try to edit more stuff in Davinci.

As far as other software for Photoshoping and vector graphics I'm covered I can use anything else like Gimp or Inkscape or even some other stuff. It's just the video editing and FX stuff. I guess I'll try to move to Davinci and keep Adobe for now with the intent to move off Adobe gradually. :) Thanks for the input guys. I guess now I have to dive into Fusion :)

Thanks I was thinking in the same way. I have no problem working with a different workflow in different types of software. I was just wondering if I could get rid of my Adobe suite and still do the work. So thank you for your input. As far as Fusion goes I have no problem with working with nodes and any kind of stuff that comes along.

So recently I have placed an order for a new Blackmagic camera and along with that camera I am receiving a licence for Davinci Resolve. Anyway it got me thinking the Adobe subscription is not that expensive but then again at the end of the year it adds up to a substantial sum of money. So when I learned that I would be receiving a license for Davinci Resolve I was thinking that I might start editing in it. Now here's the thing I have no problems with learning to use a new tool but I'm just not sure all the tools. I mean I'm sure the coloring part is fantastic and the audio editor but I'm not sure about Fusion the alternative to After Effects. I'm just not sure about Fusion. And also two other things that I like more about Premiere Pro and don't exist in Davinci that you can't set the resolution and frame rate for each timeline but globally for the whole for the whole project. But I guess it's just something you have to figure out in advance and live with it. So anybody have any experience with Davinci Resolve and if I could just get rid of Adobe and use only it? Thanks and best regards.

Wow... that long. Yeah the dealer told us the same thing that there are some problems that's why it takes a month or two to arrive. But they said that the people that had ordered the them in November and December 2018 have just received them. Hope you get yours soon.

Well the good news is that I have just placed an order for the Pocket Camera 4K last week and it should be arriving next month with lens adapters and everything that I need. I am really excited about it. :)

Thank you for the insight. It's exactly what I'm looking for. Right now I need something that might not be the best but good enough to work with and doesn't cost an arm and a leg. I think the BMPCC4K could be it. It's good enough to serve us for a a year or two while we get the funds to buy something else and then can still use it as a B camera of some projects.

Yeah I know what you mean. I've been working with a dslr and its been OK but I'm seeing the need for something a little better just to save time and improve quality without spending even more time to try and get the quality. That's why I'm looking for a little insight first hand from someone who has used it. It's not expensive but it's still a lot of money if it's going to give me what I need hehe.
