DaVinci Resolve vs Filmora
DaVinci Resolve scores 9.3 to Filmora's 8.6 among the professional video editors we rate, and is the better pick for 2 of the 4 kinds of buyer below.
DaVinci Resolve wins, 9.3 to 8.6
DaVinci Resolve's free edition is the whole editor and never expires; Studio adds extras like Magic Mask as a one time purchase, no subscription needed. Filmora also has a free tier and a Perpetual one time licence, but sells its AI tools as separate credits. Filmora dubs translated audio and extends clips with AI generated footage, both missing from DaVinci Resolve. DaVinci Resolve instead builds Fusion, a full node compositor, into the same app, and skips a stock media library that Filmora includes.
Pick DaVinci Resolve if you want Fusion's node compositor built into the same app.
Pick Filmora if you want AI dubbing, generated footage and a built in stock library.
