DaVinci Resolve Beats Premiere Pro To Finish Line, Introduced For Windows On Arm

DaVinci Resolve 19 has been officially introduced; by offering native support for Windows on Arm, the release has marked a significant milestone. Interestingly, with its native version still pending, the recent debut of Adobe Premiere Pro through Microsoft's Prism emulator, has come as an advantage for the software.

DaVinci Resolve 19's native support for Windows on Arm, which was first declared at the 2023 Snapdragon Summit, is a significant advancement for the video editing program, making it more accessible to a wider audience. Earlier, users on Windows Arm devices experienced constraints in program compatibility, but this new upgrade provides them with a powerful editing tool that does not require emulation.

DaVinci Resolve 19 is available in both free and premium editions (the latter priced at USD 295), making it an appealing option for video editors. With Adobe Premiere Pro's native support still in development and only available through emulation, DaVinci Resolve has the potential to gain a considerable share of the market, particularly among those wishing to migrate from Adobe's products.

Along with the increased compatibility, DaVinci Resolve 19 is still available for macOS, Linux and Windows x86 PCs, making it adaptable across several platforms. Noteworthy is that, the Arm64 version of the software is only compatible with recent Windows on Arm PCs. This update excludes older models, such as the Surface Pro X.

The release of DaVinci Resolve 19 for Windows on Arm comes at an important time, as the market for Snapdragon-powered PCs is likely to expand. The inherent performance and battery life advantages of Arm64 CPUs may encourage further adoption of these gadgets.
