[Walter Soyka] “and something not so nice about Symphony”While the color toolset in Symphony is certainly long-in-the-tooth, it’s no slouch. You just can’t do elaborate, multi-layered grades like you can in other systems. No shapes or tracking unless you do that as a separate effect, which is possible. However, it’s perfect for TV series finishing. As a built-in tool, from a standpoint of workflow, there is simply no other current NLE with comparable capabilities, unless you are talking about Quantel (editor+grading) or if you cut in Resolve.”
If editing does improve significantly in the next version of Resolve, going to move most of my workflow there. No doubt that 12 is better then 11, just needs some further refinement. I prefer nodes over layers but Resolve needs to make the nodes a bit easier to work with. Fusion is a joy to work with. Arranging, changing connects between nodes is much faster and easier with Fusion.
If cost were no object, I would move over to Linux. Of course that would mean giving up Final Cut Pro X, oh well.

I have thought about Nucoda, not sure if it runs on OS X, have not tried Scratch. I do have Scratch Player, though.

I am still waiting for Fusion Studio to come out. Flame is way out of my budget.

I like rigs and the ability to publish out parameters. Rigs allow for quick changes with minimal fuss, and choosing which parameters you want to publish is a nice bonus. So me for Motion is the tool of choice.

OMG! Are those tracks? Looks like another piece of dinosaur technology! 😉

I read both the what Larry wrote and the comments. I have another machine around the house that has Yosemite. I am going to add two partitions installing Yosemite on one, El Capitan on another, and the third will be reserved for project files, even render files. Not sure if there will be any performance issues as a result so comments are very much appreciated.

You are correct. Looks like I dove in head first, shallow side of the pond.

Performance has improved but one does need plug-ins to step up the game. Transitions are there but lacks certain basic stuff that other editing software has.
One other area is integration with Fusion, which is my preferred choice for finishing. Nodes are much easier to work with there. Aside from those two things it appears that Resolve is moving in the right direction . Would migrate to Linux but cost is an issue at the moment.
