True – I’m settled in and cutting on it right now – but still excited about Resolve – just looks better to me.

On shows with a budget shows like studio feature films integration is not important at all. Editors are hired for their talent to edit – that’s all – they don’t delve into Photoshop to fix something, they edit. If their system crashes they go on a break and wait for someone to fix it. Their big time union Editors making 5 to 15 grand a week to EDIT.
For the rest of us, who are used to doing everything ourselves and scrambling for every dollar, integration may be very important, but it’s never necessary.

You just said that “no one” uses it. I think the graphic speaks for itself – I don’t cut with it and probably wouldn’t have anything worthy to be added if I did.

I only know of one team in LA that uses it – the guys that cut my old bosses movies Nutty Professor, Bruce Almighty etc. Every Scorcese movie has been cut with it. I know it’s still pretty popular in UK. I bought the Pro version last year to play around with but haven’t cut anything on it as I haven’t had time to really dig deep. Hard enough with all the FCPX hoopla, CC and Vegas updates but we’ll see…
Resolve seems to suit me better as it’s has a traditional source/record workflow plus tracks and audio mixer not to mention pretty good color timing features all rolled into a very sexy FCPX-like interface design. Stability is gonna be key but the feature set is the best I’ve ever seen in any NLE.

Since one of the former Apple FCP engineers is now in charge of Resolve editing features and Resolve looks far more like FCP 8 than Lightworks and it’s basically FREE, I’m thinking another name may be more a propos?

Nope no one using Lightworks at all:
More Oscar and BAFTA winning shows than any NLE next to Avid.
I will say though, after just a few minutes of playing with Resolve 11 at Cinegear, and having owned Lightworks Pro – my money is on Resolve. I think it will become the NLE of choice for a LOT of folks in the very near future.

I’ve rendered from Miraizon and it shows as Pro Res in FCPX no prob. BMD should include full cross-platform Pro Res support on their paid version – bet it would help sales…

.ai is the native Adobe Illustrator format – you should export files from Illustrator as 72dpi non-interlaced .png with alpha for best use in Vegas. Make sure they’re large enough that you don’t have to scale them up in Vegas.

Your card is pretty much an antique these days so anything GTX 760 or higher is gonna be great. But do you have a motherboard with PCIe 3.0? If it supports PCIe 2.0 16x r newer your fine. I have the GTX 760 by the way and it’s a nice card – GTX 770 with 4GB is a bit better and still under budget…
