Switched from Adobe for good

Pros

The software has an incredible amount of features which can feel overwhelming at first but you can start with just the basics and expand from there. I began with just the edit pages after reluctantly switching from Premiere Pro. Once I got comfortable with it, I completely stopped using Adobe for motion graphics, film and animation and this tool is simply superior. I use the paid studio version which is a one-time purchase at an affordable price with NO SUBSCRIPTION. It runs off GPU for excellent performance. The free training materials are fantastic, including assets, downloadable manuals and tons of videos. I've converted several colleagues and none have regretted the switch. The different pages are brilliant and you can work in timeline editing then seamlessly switch to color grading, audio, motion graphics, VFX and delivery for rendering, all without opening separate applications. I can't recommend it enough though I probably annoy people with how much I rave about it!

Cons

I can't really think of any major issues. The only thing that comes to mind is the lack of an Android version which would be nice to have.

Very effective solution!

Pros

The color correction capabilities are absolutely incredible and the grading technology paired with such interface makes achieving those cinematic looks surprisingly simple. What really impressed me is that you dont need expensive hardware to get professional level results. Plus the processing speed is fantastic, I can work with multiple resolutions and formats on the same timeline without any lag or delays slowing me down.

Cons

The shortcuts for basic functions aren't very simple and it takes some time to get used to them at first.
