[Herb Sevush] “If you can afford better options, then “good enough” ain’t good enough.”
Maybe it should be said “as good as can be done based on client, budget and deadline”.

[Neil Sadwelkar] “At the price of Avid DS, eQ/iQ, Smoke, Nuke Studio, one has to be hugely committed financially, to the concept. Their ongoing costs were/are high too – maintenance/upgrade taxes.”
I would venture to day that if BMD was trying to introduce Resolve at that time in history, they could not have done a free software either. The money is not made on the software, rather on the hardware you need to put around it.

[Tony West] “You aren’t making the argument that your phone looks “better” than your C100 it’s just that it looks pretty good and you can get away with it and not carry as much stuff.”
It looks damn good actually, but you are right. This video was for online marketing and the iPhone 4k is perfectly ok for that. Basically a Vimeo link on emails to select persons. Hell, the C100 might have been overkill! But horses for courses.
Sometimes I get the feeling that people in our business try to make things as complex and hard as they can for no apparent gain or reason…mho

[Tony West] “I could get away with shooting with my phone on most jobs I would do it in a heartbeat. “
Once again, like software, it’s horses for courses. I recently had to shoot some quick footage up in Minneapolis with me being the only one up there. I did not want to lug around a package of gear so I went with my iPhone 7 at its’ version of 4k, AE/focus lock provided in the phone, and an Ikan handheld stabilizer. It looks great. AirDrop to MBP, edit in X and on the way to client. Client loved it.
That said, when I was back home and had another gig to shoot, I used a Canon C100 because I had the time, space and ancillary gear to go along with it. It looked great too.
I don’t think this is an “either or” scenario rather the choice of the proper tool for the proper scenario.

[Walter Soyka] “Let’s ask Grant!”
Boy, I am really disappointed in this interview. Actually it’s more like a PR/sales piece because the interviewer is tossing softballs.
Grant acts like R15 is the first system that EVER allowed an editor to play with color, audio and FX. Really? Expanding our world? Psychopath facility owners….way to go, Grant. Making friends.
And wow, if you don’t want to use Fusion, that’s ok because all the effects in the Edit tab are Fusion effects. Hmm, where have I seen this before? Dynamic linking? I am sure I have seen that somewhere before R15…
R15 will be a decent tool for those who want it, but it’s not the savior to all of us poor shackled editors that it’s made out to be here.

[Neil Goodman] ” It seems like FCPX is developing at the slowest rate at the moment so it will be interesting to see what apple has up it sleeves when it does drop a big update.”
Seriously?

I would tend to disagree. There is HUGE interest among the abandoned DS group (I think you are a member of that forum). With the Fusion integration, this might be the product they have been wishing for. The Avid folks I know see Resolve as potentially the Symphony they never had. God knows what Adobe is thinking…
As Steve said, Resolve is this product that gets a lot of interest around NAB then just fades back. I would say if R15 is taking any market share , it’s from Avid or Adobe. FCPX is kind of the outlier here and probably for the best.

Having played with several versions of Resolve, including the “very” beta R15, I would say this is a non-discussion. Perhaps you would be better posting this on an Adobe site or Avid.
IMHO, FCPX is FAR better an editor than R15. Faster by a mile. Far better interface. Way more stable. And it can do about 80% of the other stuff Resolve does.
I don’t believe in this “good enough” BS and neither do my clients. As a storyteller, I choose the best product to make their story come alive, and that happens to be X right now (it was EMC, then Avid, then FCP7). Resolve, to me, is a very good color correction tool, and in the hands of a colorist, it;s great. But that’s the point. If a client’s project needs more CC than my skill set can provide, that’s when I go to an expert on the tool that’s best for that which could be Resolve. But to try to make a comparison between X and Resovle is (IMHO) silly.
And Oliver, didn’t you say that Avid and Discreet failed in their attempt to make the “all in one” system. So why do you think Black Magic can do any better?

Look under smart collections and then the Project selection. Any and all projects from that Library will live there.
