Best Computer for Workflow

Actually, when you are using h.264 and definitely when usuing h.265 source files, the Studio version of Resolve is much better than the free version. If using only raw formats, then the free verion may be sufficient.

Good to know. I honestly don't mind paying for the software if I'm going to use it. For now I downloaded the free version and will check it out, hopefully, in the next week or so.

Hardware acceleration to decompile highly compressed footage (h.264/h.265) is available with the free version on mac but not on the pc.
For anyone interested in Resolve, here is a great white paper.
