The holiday deals are around the corner...
I don't know about you, but I can already feel my wallet getting lighter with all these talks about Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
Not really a holiday deal - but I just found out about the free Blackmagic Speed Editor offer (below đ).
I've been wanting to make the switch to Resolve for editing and color grading anyway, so it made a lot of sense to do so now.
What deals are you most excited about? Hit reply and let us know!
Promotion
Buy Davinci Resolve and get a free Speed Editor!
Been thinking about getting Davinci Resolve Studio? Now is the time!
Davinci Resolve just announced a big update with the release of v17, but did you know that if you purchase the Studio version of Resolve right now you can get the new Speed Editor panel (usually ~$500) for free!
I snagged it myself...
After watching the demo video put out by Blackmagic, I was pretty much sold.
This is a limited deal from Blackmagic, so if you want to take advantage of this offer you better jump on it before they close it.
