DaVinci Resolve 19.1: How to Update BUT SHOULD YOU? 🤔

Davinci Resolve 19.1 is here with some awesome new updates! However, they have updated the api which means free users are going to be limited... Should you update to DaVinci Resolve 19.1 or should you wait?

This is so horrible, and I saw people on Reddit defending this decision, like that's the Reddit thing I saw in this month, but not surprised. People are so stupid that they don't realize that it's one thing to not give certain feature to the free version to keep the gap big enough to justify paying for the paid version, but it's another level of scummy to take away something that was already there, like seriously and there are people think it was a good decision, like no one was asking for more features in the free version to begin with.

Using the Studio Version, I-7 13700K 64GB Ram Nvidia Geforce RTX 4060 Gpu 16GB GDDR6. Upon updating most of the newer Fusion Generators do not work IE Cartoon Cloud Sky, Cube Array etc etc. This is my Davinci machine Windows 11. Note they do work on my windows 10 machine, but a friend has the free version on Win 11 and they do work.

The update is not working. Anyone else have this problem? We have uninstalled and reinstalled the studio version. Although we can see the various effects it can't be employed in the timeline.

So what dies the API do in the free version?. I have the free version and I use reactor and I don't dee any difference so could you please explain what's not the same.
I downloaded 19.1 this week and as I said all fine and reactor is the same.

EDIT EDIT. I use kartaVR and viewer, which I have installed for a while now. What I have just done is go to workspace tab in davinci then scripts then reactor now Iget the I have reached a limit with the free version, I no longer have access to the reactor main page, is this what we are talking about and if so I guess im fine using the kartavr as I already have it installed but will be unable to add anymore, but I guess that will be ok as I jinstalled the whole lot anyway a while back.

All the best

Thank you so much for this video, none of the other creators I'm subscribed here on YT have mentioned this API restriction and only focused on the new features. So thanks very much for bringing some light to this. I feel this is important not because of the actual loss of functionality for the free version, but as a gate opener for future updates (in a bad way).
Back in the days of DR 15 up to 17 the free version was on par with the Studio version for daily editing and only some really advanced effects and features (like collab) were reserved for the studio version. From version 18 and on this has changed. Many new features only made the way into the studio version. Though we should not forget that the free version got GPU hardware support for (pre-)rendering effects even in the edit page and also h.264 hw decoding.
Still, the gap between free and studio version is becoming bigger and bigger.
FYI: at 5:54 you said "virtuell memory" but VRAM is dedicated "video memory", maybe you just misspelled it.

edit: forgot to mention my system: Ryzen 5 5600X, 32GB RAM, GeForce RTX3060, still on Windows 10

32 GB RAM for windows is rough for me, the budget to upgrade will be a big one 😭😭😭
