“Lots of export options, including image sequences, which was quite handy for me when I needed to convert videos to image sequences to use within Autodesk Maya.”

“Compression works quite well. When I export a playblast from Maya, the files were usually really massive (1gb+ for a 10 second animation).”

the easy integration of files and assets from illustrator to after effects saves me time and effort to produce content over social media. It being able to keep these assets to the same high quality makes using both these softwares a breeze

As a videographer, Davinci Resolve integrates great for including splash videos. Drone videos work very well with an aerial panorama using hotspots to cover large areas. GoThru takes care of the rest with any other embed feature you need.

Los videos generados con Video Express los puedo integrar al formato MP4 de Davinci Resolve y eso es una gran ventaja en la edición de videos.
