Oliver Peters reviews DaVinci Resolve for the Mac for Videography;
Whether or not the toolset is to your liking is strictly a matter of taste. I wish it had a plug-in architecture, as some of the more exotic results you can get by using filter effects in Apple Color or a with a filter like Red Giant Magic Bullet Looks just aren't available. There is a built-in blur tool, but it isn't as smooth nor achieves as extreme of a blur as many other types of Gaussian blur filters.Videography: Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve for the Mac
