Have you set up user accounts or anything with the Beta version?

It shouldn’t really matter. Delete and install or just install overtop. You just can run 2 versions at the same time.

I did set up an initial account, but hadn’t done anything in it.

Well, if you install overtop, you can save yourself that 20 seconds.

The AppStore version is always a bit behind, and from what I’ve been told not the version you REALLY want to be on, cause it has restrictions that the one on the BM site doesn’t.

Though I can’t remember what those are.

Go tracks! Go go go tracks! 🙂

[Ron Priest]

Restrictions …. I may need to uninstall my App Store version on my iMac then and not let the app store update it, and just download it from Blackmagic then. Thanks.

Oooh, shall we set up another “Resolve 11 or Not: The Debate” forum? At least that might clear some clutter from the X forums! Everyone dying for tracks can go have fun there! 🙂

And, yes, I will be downloading the software!

[Douglas K. Dempsey] “But a la carte NLE combinations may well be the future for many!.”

Could be, though I feel like the the suites offered by Adobe (and formerly Apple w/FCS) have, potentially, smoother round tripping and clumsy round tripping with the a la care solutions (which have been around for a very long time) seems to be a constant complaint.

For example, using Dynamic Link between PPro and SpeedGrade gives the me grading workflow I’ve always wanted (the grade from SpeedGrade simply shows up as a filter on the media in PPro). If Adobe keeps refining the process and improving SpeedGrade then I might stop using Resolve. Of course on the flip side of Resolve becomes as good as an NLE as PPro then I might stop using PPro.

Im not dying for tracks, Im perfectly fine editing in X, I just want to learn to use Resolves CC functionality.

So they fixed it? It can playback without stuttering, clicking, choking and sounding like utter hell? Did they include any fx other than some star wipes and an audio dissolve?

I hear the color corrector is ok. 🙂

Is the audio mixer any smaller than a city block? Only my 27″ it nearly fills the screen!

I kid. But it’s all the truth. I mean, I’m kinda used to either bing able to incorporate motion in my timeline, or templates and fx and transitions based on motion. I’m also pretty used to all the generators that X (and generally any NLE) has. I need my pushes, my zooms, etc. And the number of motion based plugs and templates and mObjects and yikes, I think I’m committed to X now.

So far as I can see, if you want to edit with 11 it’s good for the rough cut and color correction. Then you have to send your project to premiere or X to add, well, anything but cuts and dissolves.

I do love the focus on key framing and actual editing and trimming features, but just like X I found the key framing looked good in the video, but in reality it was just as hampered as X. (Maybe a little more in the copy/paste area.) Just looked cooler. Premiere still rules in this regard, but in any case I don’t need that advanced key framing in my NLE.
