Premier Pro Question

[TedS011]

I have been using iMovie for vlog stuff and my Mavic videos. I would love to have something more advanced for transitions, color grading, and graphics. So I checked out Premier Pro and was shocked they want $19 a month. Is this worth the $240 a year? I actually think the $240 isn't bad but the consecutive years...this is an expensive endeavor. Someone convince me this is worth it. Or, any suggestions for an upgrade for Mac? Thanks.

any suggestions for an upgrade for Mac?

You can find a list of commonly used video editors here.

I tried Davinci Resolve and I think it's good enough to face Premiere Pro or Final Cut Pro. But it runs mainly on your graphic card, not CPU. So better have at least a GeForce 1060, 1070 or even a 1080.

Edited: I forgot to say it's free!

I just got Photoshop elements 15 and Premiere elements 15 as a download bundle for $79. No monthly charge.

My MAC has this; Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB. Will this work?

I guess so. I also think any newer graphic card should fit for the job. I say you should give it a try since it's free, in the worst case you'll suffer some lag.

Thanks for the advice. I will give it a shot.
