I'm a beginner and I've watched your video for Davinci beginners and my computer is i5, when trying to install DaVinci 19 I realised that the minimum computer spec is I7 but I9 is the one that is recommended . Last week I bought the i9 laptop specifically for Davinci . For me it is DaVinci all the way, I've spent lots of money that I don't even have . To learn a CapCut will be like betraying myself. Great videos and keep them coming.
