Furthermore if there must be two forums the only split that really makes sense to me is a separate “Configuration” forum. Unless you need a few specific things that the full version offers – say 3D or working in 2K, the Lite version will offer everything a fully professional colorist needs and works exactly the same. I have used both on HD material and see zero difference (I know there are some things such as you can only add one additonal graphics card in Lite but many “full” version users only have one additional card anyway).
In short, if you are working in 2D HD, there may be no reason for you to buy the full version. You could easily grade broadcast TV for many years with such a setup and be a very experienced, skilled and knowledgeable colorist with a properly setup color grading suite and be using “Lite”. Most likely you would not be using the “Lite” forum in this case…..
Davinci Lite is not the same as “Final Cut Express” for example.
