I have the luxury of having Adobe Suite and Studio Resolve. It took me a while to get used to Resolve mostly because I was so comfortable with Premiere. But for a while Premiere became so buggy that I was literally forced to use Resolve. Premiere crashed constantly, rendering would lock up… yada yada… Flash forward to today and I still use both depending on the project and who I am collaborating with. If I am the sole editor I use Resolve. The color page is proof enough to convert. Overall it is more stable and “clean”. I do wish there was a simple Render IN/OUT function though. Sometimes the render in place and all the other ways it renders does not seem to work for me. Also, I find Adobe Audition and Premiere’s Audio Tools a bit more “effective”. The Fusion page is where I am still learning. I tend to fall back to After Effects on anything complex. I have done some insane fixes with just the magic mask and a few other tools. So, yes I do love Resolve but still fall back to Adobe on a few things.

I no longer work for the company that you had worked with. The IT department at my current position is top notch – still not up to speed on video applications in “our” realm but they are working with us. They agreed to allow us to get a more straight line solution such as QNAP or SNS. They do have a vendor that sells them. Any thoughts on the software that SNS uses for media organization “ShareBrowser” – I see it comes free with any of their systems but wondering if that at all could be a deciding factor. The IT folks still want to explore using HyperFlex as an archive/back up and I think that will be great for that as long as it does not interfere in any way.

Thanks .

Thanks for the feedback – That is actually what I felt the response would be. I know they mean well but like you said – they really don’t understand how video works when it comes to production vs. streaming. If anything this will help our plight to get a real video solution like the ones you mentioned or hire someone/company to install.
