After finishing up on the filming/ production process of our film, we decided to give DaVinci Resolve, an online media editing tool a shot. As a group we quickly realized that filming and production- very fun, editing- not so much....
We started our editing process by using DaVinci, as we believed it would help to make our film look the most professional. Before we could even being to think about editing, however, we once again ran into a large issue, that being that we were having a hard time transferring all of our footage to our laptops without it losing its quality, not only that, but, it was taking forever.
Once we finally got it all to load, we realized just how overwhelming it all felt. The hundreds of tools, settings, and nature of the app felt more like an obstacle when we all just wanted to piece the film together, before beginning to work on all other aspects of the editing process.
Although it is a truly amazing app, it felt like it want working for our team specifically as it felt like far more work then it had to be. And finally, after a long struggle, we decided to rethink our original approach, and go for something simpler. Although it felt unusable for the large clips, and overwhelming, we will be going back to DaVinci for more professional, in depth editing, as well as for use in our smaller details.
