   Just one thing, though: Da Vinci Resolve requires a GPU, and as you   
   may have heard, GPUs are getting a bit expensive and hard-to-obtain   
   lately.   
      
   So moving to proprietary software on an open-source platform is only a   
   partial solution; you are still going to get bitten by product   
   limitations at some point.
