Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 11th April 2025 — Six Questions

11th April, 2025.

Right then: it’s officially Friday!

Yay!

We can hop, skip, dance and wave our hands in the air.

If we want to.

Hand waving or not?

I’ve woken up thinking today is Saturday.

Why?

I have no idea … !

~≈👋≈~

Either way … ?

I’ve finished another review: of episode three of The Savages.

Feel free to leave me a comment … !

As a final thought … ?

I’ve been using DaVinci Resolve — the free version, available though the App Store — to edit some of the videos, here.

I have to say, it’s not a bad app.

But … ?

It’s only now I’ve used it for a while, I realise quite how much iMovie does for a user.

It removes the green fringing I get when compositing video, automatically: something I have to do manually in DaVinci, for example.

Comparing the two, DaVinci can layer far more elements together than iMovie can.

But?

DaVinci tends to crash when using multiple, intensive, effects.

And tends to lose clips on external drives when it does so.

Can I recommend it others?

Yes: it’s powerful.

But yes … it’s got quirks.

Enough quirks, on the computer I use, to say that, given the money?

I’d be buying Final Cut Pro, rather than the premium version of DaVinci.

It strikes me Apple’s own pro software would be the far more stable of the two.
