Got around to switching to DaVinci Resolve after using Final Cut for years. What's the best way in 2026 to get the Studio version? Buy Blackmagic hardware?

@christianselig I love their little Speed Editor and I think it’s a really good deal to get Studio included with it.
@christianselig If I were you, I’d just get the software at a discount right now.
If you /need/ any hardware, yes, getting it with the hardware is always discounted or even includes the Studio license.
Their hardware is very good, but unless you’re using it regularly, it’s not worth up-rooting your current preferred keyboard just for Resolve.
@camkerr When in doubt I will always listen to you 🫡
@christianselig it does look like you can buy it by itself from a vendor like B&H if you don’t want to get any hardware. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1366318-REG/blackmagic_design_dv_resstud_davinci_resolve_stud_color.html
@grantjbutler Yeah you can buy it direct too!
@christianselig currently on sale, 20% off until November 20.
@christianselig The speed editor comes with a full DR license, and it's a great piece of hardware. Worth the added cost over buying the license separately.
@christianselig I got mine from a sale of the speed editor from an independent Toronto video store, yeah. But I think there's a direct sale now if you're not interested in any of the hardware, specifically.
@christianselig they just had a rare sale. Over yet?
@christianselig Mostly buy it directly. The Apple App Store version has some sandbox restrictions that prevent it from being as useful.
