What even is this? Is this a real video? How is this not a parody? Your "editing arsenal"? This is pretty bottom of the barrel.
Call me when they make mechanical keyboards. I don't know how anyone works with chiclet nonsense.
Every third post on every production site is about color grading these days. It's the hot new thing that everyone seems to believe is the most important part of production for some god-forsaken reason. Underappreciated? It's basically dominating the industry at this point because everyone is under the impression it is the pivotal step in filmmaking.
It's the smartest model for having professional tools available with regular, high quality updates. It works incredibly well. Idk why people are still crying about it. It works better than the single purchase method ever did with Avid.
Editing in Resolve is nowhere near editing in Premiere. Obviously it has better color tools. But it's still slow, clunky, non-intuitive, and not particularly satisfying.
The uproar over the subscription model is still surprisingly controversial because it makes so much sense and is a minor cost relative to the benefits of a professional tool yet people still roar to the high heavens that it's some sort of dark sin.
Another tip: Learn when to walk the fuuuuuck away for a bit. It's easy to get tunnel vision and just hammer away at things day after day until you get it right, but almost every major problem I've ever had was solved by looking at something besides a timeline for a few hours/days. Your brain just works on it in the background and the answer will come to you.
