FCP or DaVinci
Hello everyone!
I’m throwing out a question that’s been on my mind for a long time.
First, let me explain that I’m a professional FCP user, and I’ve purchased (invested in) specific plugins for FCP, including ColorFinale, which I use for color grading along with Dehancer Pro.
The thing is, I’ve been seeing a lot of people using DaVinci, especially professional users switching to it. PowerGrades have also emerged, offering a look that seems incredibly interesting and realistic to me (like CinePrint 35 or its predecessor, CinePrint 16).
My question is: What do you think? Do you consider it beneficial for my career to continue with FCP, or should I switch to DaVinci as soon as possible? Also, is editing in FCP and doing color grading in DaVinci via XMLs a viable option, or does it take too much time and isn’t worth it?
I wouldn’t mind learning DaVinci, but I feel bad about starting over, considering my editing speed and all the money I’ve already invested in FCP plugins and assets.
What would you recommend?
