I'm being pushed more and more into Davinci Resolve due to Adobe's inability to compete and stay up to date and keep us in their walled garden. We need AV1 support. Intel and Nvidia have had hardware AV1 encoding support for quite some time now. If I need to use AV1, I have to export as prores, then convert to AV1, doubling the export time. I shoot long videos, between 1-3 hours in length, and converting takes an insame amount of time. The filesize and quality AV1 provides is crucial so some of my workflows.

No kidding. Here I am in 2026 with hundreds of hours of content in AV1, only to discover that the adobe monopoly still doesn’t support it?

I’m downloading Davinci now. I see they actually let you buy a traditional license too. Amazing.
