    I'd been trying Resolve for a bit at home as my version of Adobe CC is getting quite old and I can't commit to CC2015 just yet. This is mostly for some volunteer work and small- to mid-sized projects. As much as I'm a fan of BlackMagic overall, I'm surprised they've intentionally left out support for some file types that they don't consider "professional". It has kept me from being able to use it full time, and while it is a pretty decent program I just can't recommend it at this point.

    Yes the files can be converted, but I'm not really willing to introduce anything that adds extra time to these projects. Besides that, I'm impressed that they've done a fantastic job of having a freemium model that includes a ridiculous number of features without paying a penny. Of course their hope is to get people into the ecosystem and start selling the $20k control panels to professionals, heh.

    I think I like it here.

    Resolve is not quite ready for prime time as an editing suite, but is still the standard for color grading. I prefer to use Avid for editing in a pro environment.

    For a free option try looking at https://hitfilm.com/express [hitfilm.com]
    It is the free video editor and compositor from the guys at Film Riot. I haven't played with it myself, but I've heard good things, though I hear it won't be replacing Avid or AE anytime soon.

    give a look to lightworks https://www.lwks.com/ [lwks.com] , the free version is a little limited but the pro version is a real heavy weight.
