Workflow aside : does anyone prefer the Davinci 2K over Resolve ?

[Kim Krause]

most post houses aren’t keen to upgrade in this day and age. if they have something that works they continue with it till the wheels drop off. it’s all about keeping costs down. what you will see however is newer boutique facilitates buy into resolve because it is cost effective and they don’t have to “sell” (convince clients) that the old stuff is still fine for most work. i once had a client tell me that a post house told him he couldn’t get professional results on color and that it was just a toy. then he got a quote for a job from them and it didn’t really matter how un-professional color was or not, he only had so much money for grading. in the end he got a very professional product which passed q.c. for a very low price by using color. now the same thing is happening with resolve. if you have an older suite you have to keep charging the same rate as you have been and then you have to justify why you can offer the resolve for so much cheaper and soon you’ll find that the old suite will sit empty….it’s happening everywhere!
