Editing Software - DaVinci Resolve and Pinnacle Studio

Featured Replies

Hi all, I have been using Pinnacle Studio editing software for the entire time that I have been doing underwater videos. It was recommended to me early on for ease of use, and once I got used to it, it was hard to change to anything else with a new learning curve. However, I am now using Studio 26 and apparently it is "end of the line", that is, it has been sold and is unlikely to be updated. So, I have started trying to learn DaVinci Resolve since so many here seem to like it. One really, really nice feature in recent versions of Pinnacle Studio is the "Auto White Balance" and "Auto Tone" check boxes in their color correction menu. They work surprisingly well to get very close to right for most, but not all, of my clips. They make it very fast and easy to do a quick color correction on my clips, so that I can decide which ones to keep and spend more time trimming, and cleaning up, etc. I can't find anything like that in Resolve. I see the color bar sliders, and wheels, etc but nothing "automatic". If I have to manually correct each clip, it will take me forever to edit my most recent trip, since I have 250 video clips to go through.

Does anyone have some good cheats for this, or possibly some good training links that will help me out?

Thanks!
