Should be classified as malware.There’s a huge update to Resolve today, and it’s truly impressive.Ī few of these features made my exclaim out loud at my computer!īig round of applause to the Blackmagic team for so many amazing updates and video to help explain them. They also make the software easy to install, but almost impossible to remove. And it's not just the business side of lock-in, either. They make it easy to get in and hard to get out. and one with consumer hostile lock-in schemes. I think it's easier for a lot of smaller companies to deal with international trade law by selling through distributers. which is how BMD makes their money, so no complaints here.įor C4D, I had to buy through toolfarm, so I don't think BMD are alone. If you buy from an online retailer, and they sell the activation code version, they can probably email, but I can't say because every copy I've ever gotten came free with a camera or other hardware. If you try to activate on too many computers, it just revokes the extras. You can download the Studio version from BMD's support site, as long as you have an activation code. Activation codes are convenient, and don't take up a USB slot. The physical dongle is nice sometimes because it'll work on any computer and doesn't require an internet connection. There's also an Apple App store version, if you're on Mac.Īnd at least when I bought my speed editor, there was an option for a physical dongle or an activation code. They really don't care if they ever beat Adobe do they, or have they already just given up? HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN I HAVE TO BUY THE SOFTWARE FROM A RESELLER? I also though once you buy the studio version you get all the updates in the future for free. I want to studio version, I don't want some crappy "speed editor" taking up space on my desk just to have it. do you get the studio version for that, or do you need the speed editor still just to have the full version of Resolve?īOY, DOES THEIR BUSINESS SENSE SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!! What if you just buy the Resolve mini panel.

I was ABOUT to buy it too, what is this bull****? So not only can I not just pay for it and have it NOW, I have to buy this piece of junk and WAIT for it to arrive in the mail? Does the software come on six separate CDRs that I have to install in series as well, or.

You have to buy this thing called a Speed Editor, which apparently is actually a dongle, and THAT is how you get the full studio version? The Blackmagic site can't be responsible for it's own full version of it's software? So I'm looking at B&H and can't figure out HOW you buy Resolve only to FINALLY figure it out (I think). so I go into trying to buy it, only to find the website linking me to "find a reseller," uhhhhh.WHAT? So I've been contemplating dropping the money on the full version of Resolve considering it's only $300.
