Karsten,

Thanks for the informative response!

I played around with Resolve yesterday for several hours. I have mixed feelings with it for now. When I have long conference shoots I use my Canon camcorders with use MTS files. I unfortunately discovered that Resolve doesn’t really like those MTS files and won’t import them. Premiere Pro does a great job with MTS files.

I know I should turn the MTS files to ProRes but its just so many files that its a really annoying extra step.

I messed with green screen editing too and that was ok. Im not used to Nodes so it takes time getting used to. I really liked the Ultra Key in Premiere and found it pretty simple.

In terms of audio sweetening (noise reduction also), what is the best workaround for that? I used to send everything to Audition where I had a lot of presets locked in. Maybe I need to use Audacity or something?

I also wonder if there is a way in the render queue to automatically upload the videos to Youtube straight from there?

I think I will look into Resolve more! It seems to get a lot of love. Ill try it and if it works out, and if i need After Effects for a project I guess I can rent it for a month. I am still open to other thoughts though as I am still deciding.

Thanks for the thoughts thus far!

I have Desolve but never used it. Maybe I should give it a shot!

It just stinks because I do have some huge Premiere Projects that have been going on for a couple of years so re building it in a different editor sounds a little scary.

Also, not having Photoshop or After Effects doesn’t sound great if I go with Desolve.

Oh really?? You are using El Capitan?

Did you have any issues with any of the Adobe apps? I have seen very mixed reviews with it and sounded like a bad idea. But I am interested in your experience.

Thanks!
