DaVinci Resolve is free, so why pay for Fit Cut Pro?

Resolve is free software but each workout video costs hours of manual timer and label work. Fit Cut Pro turns a plan or a recording into a finished video in minutes and includes 10 to 100 videos per month from $49.99.

Can Fit Cut Pro match Resolve on quality?

For workout videos, yes: 4K MP4 with consistent timers, labels, branding and licensed music. Resolve wins for colour grading and audio post, which most follow-along videos do not need.

Does Fit Cut Pro need a powerful computer?

No. Videos render on Fit Cut Pro servers; any laptop with a browser works. Resolve needs a capable GPU.

Can Fit Cut Pro edit a class I already filmed?

Yes. The AI Editor detects every exercise and rest in one continuous recording and adds the timers and names for you.

Is there a live option?

Yes. The Go Live Zoom app shows the same timer overlay in Zoom classes. Resolve has no live mode.
