Maybe show the buildup of layers? That would be really interesting.
The complaints I’ve seen have been more around whether that site should explain what DaVinci is.
Youtube is awash with Davinci Resolve tutorials for everything from basic non-linear video editing to compositing, sound editing and grading.
The basic version is free, and the paid version is a one-time $300, or 7.5 months of Adobe Premiere+After Effects or Audition.
BlackMagic also produce gear like the atem mini beloved by streamers and the BMPCC (blackmagic pocket cinema cameras) that are very much aimed at prosumers.
If any one needs to edit any video, even just a short recreational youtube video, I point them towards Davinci, because the price is right and there are so many tutorials.
For what it's worth: DaVinci has both a free and a paid version - and the paid version is not even 300$. If you're an indie filmmaker or hobbyist, it's certainly a better offering than a Premiere Pro subscription unless your muscle memory is trained too hard on Adobe tooling.
> and I can't imagine non-film folks would fall into any useful target demographic for them, even accidentally. My guess is they're hiring developers.
Many tech people have to deal with video shit at some point in their career - it helps to at least know some basic cutting to make a screen recording for a tutorial way better for the viewers.
It's a lot like how people might use Photoshop both for heavyweight professional graphic design and digital art, and also for making silly mashup pictures for Reddit, except they don't even have to pirate it!
I’m very surprised to see DaVinci make the front page on HN but also very glad too.

I'm also the most modest person in the world.
It may not be of any use but its still of interest to many people that some kind of explanation would be useful
As a VFX-person I'd be curious about a before and after on a crisp digital image with multiple settings.
