I replaced Premiere Pro with Davinci 5 years ago and I love it. I have tried to replace Lightroom Classic with Capture One but after a couple of years I went back to LC. I love it... I wish there was something similar with the color calibration tools (not the color mixer nor grade)

My biggest issue with Adobe started when I went to change my plan, not cancel, but downgrade (this is when they first started doing this). They said I was on yearly contract, I said no I am not *I’m monthly but they are doing sneaky stuff that makes monthly plans a yearly contract even if you pay monthly (at least that was what happened to me). I was shocked, they said I would have to pay hundreds of dollars to cancel or downgrade. I felt forced to stay with it. They wound up letting me downgrade without charging me but it was a huge pain and super stressful, and I doubt they’d ever let me cancel or downgrade again without charging me the rest of the years plan amount. I really do hope Adobe changes but like you said it likely will never happen. Pretty depressing but I’ll be looking into programs you mentioned, I’d love to get away from paying hundreds a year.

Yeah, that “monthly payment, yearly commitment” thing is sneaky. I’ve never seen another company try to pull that off. Some time ago I had the same issue downgrading.

@@Desklord It’s not a good look. If someone signs up for a monthly plan it should be just that and they should make it very clear if it’s a yearly contact regardless if paying monthly or yearly. I also don’t think this sort of stuff should have any contract or the like associated with it, this isn’t a car loan or something. Not to mention the price of these programs.

I dont understand why there isn’t an option to simply cancel in your account settings. They don’t even make it do something simple like take your card off the account. Only place I’ve ever seen this crap. I payed for a year upfront so I have to use it until that’s up.

I moved from Affinity Suite to Adobe way back, and only because of the shape builder tool which Illustrator had and affinity designer lacked at that time. Seeing people switch back to affinity is giving a whole lot of nostalgia

I’ve found that Affinity Photo is exactly like Photoshop when you do certain things but COMPLETELY different when you do others. I’d be curious to see if they’ve updated or added tools since you left.

Oh, a youngster. My first Photoshop version was 2.5 - no layers (came with version 3). Illustrator 4.1 - no RGB color space, no gradients (both came with version 5, if I remember correctly, and I had to wait until version 7 to get it for Windows). I need Adobe CC software from time to time, but overall I try to keep my CS3 running (I bought a version that no longer requires activation, but needs Windows 8 or Windows 11 for ARM to run properly) and use it where needed for work (yes, this old version of AI is my favorite tool, and PS does what it needs to do for me). Started to incorporate Affinity 2.5 into my workflows, but it's not suitable all the time (and more often than not I prefer working in AICS3). Not everyone can switch, and that's a shame … ;-)

@@Desklord Problem is that Adobe has started to revoke valid (!) licenses on activation as of lately (happened to me a month ago with my Adobe CS6 Standard for Windows, have heard and read it too from several sources). Since only Windows version of CS are at least installable and still running (in principle), I've hunted down a used and legal copy of Adobe CS6 (including CD and serial number!) when I started going Windows "full-time" some years ago, but can no longer activate it on a new machine. Adobe does everything, even if illegal in many countries world-wide (knowing quite well that most users won't go to court over it), to force people to subscribe to CC. This is why I'm glad to have a non-activation copy of Adobe CS3 Standard (but the 3rd-party component Adobe used to implement the licensing has massive issues on later versions of Windows 10 and Windows 11 on x64 machines, rendering it completely unusable on those). Still, no ideal situation, as I need many CS6 features/programs …

I'm currently moving away from Adobe as well. Initially I expected it to take half a year, but now I'm looking at maybe a 2 months time frame. Got the Affinity suite for half price. And for editing I've moved to DaVInci Resolve Studio version. Just need a few weeks to export all of my old Premiere porjects and import them into DVResolve. Pretty quick with regular projects, more of a tinkering w PPro PRoductions.

That’s great! Good job on grabbing the 50% deal! I was thinking of adding it to my video but I didn’t want people to feel bad if they watched my video after the sale ended. I’m curious about DaVinci Resolve, do you think it’s on par with Premier?
@TimButt2

@@DesklordResolve is vastly superior to Premiere. Not only has it had color management for years, and auto save, but it has Fusion (similar to After Effects) and Fairlight (similar to Pro Tools and/or Audition) built in. Yeah, you have to learn to use nodes for color and graphics/VFX. But once you understand nodes it’s easy and even better workflow. It’s a no brainer. Resolve is the future.

Logic is a great piece of software for the price that a lot of professionals use either for work or hobby project. If you are using windows I recommend Presonus studio one. There is a free version but it's dogs**t so get a licence that fits you. I got a musicians license on sale for like 60 bucks. I would say DaVinci resolve is leaps and bounds better than premiere and after effects combined. And if you want the pro features (not needed for 90% of people) you pay around 300 bucks once for a licence.
