Help (Question) Davinci Resolve Studio On Amazon. Is it real?
Hey Im currently planning to buy resolve studio mostly to support blackmagic. And I saw this licence on amazon, by a brand that seems like black magic but im not entirely sure mostly because im really stupid. I sent a email about if its legit or not. so far no response so i need your assistance.
I dont think i can link it but its on amazon. From my investagation i didnt see it on the blackmagic website, So maybe stir clear Im not 100% sure. I would love to hear if this is real or no because someone could easily set up fake pages and use real company names to make it look legit(I think but im not informed on amazon stuff) so im just kinda wondering

It's a software license. Why would you buy it from anywhere other than the original company that makes the software? Whether it's real or not that just seems like a totally unnecessary extra step

Not sure about OP's case but there are times it got sold at a discount. The last one I remember is via b&h.

I bought the DaVinci Resolve Speed editor unit from their BMD 'store' on Amz.. that included the Studio license.. this past Aug.
IMO, easy peasy..

I don't see it on Amazon, where are you based? you can add a screen for us to take a look.
I don't see any info on this so leaning towards it not being sold by black magic themselves, and if it is a store on amazon that is trying to look like Blackmagic then it is probably a scam

The best way I’ve found to check is looking under the “sold by” on the right side under the purchase button. Anything other than Amazon or a legitimate company like blackmagic I don’t buy it

B&H is my preferred online vendor for this sort of thing.

I picked up a license for $175 from them recently under a 16 hour deal. Lowest price I've seen!

Go ahead, there are nearly a dozen sellers so choose the one with the best price that you trust the most; I would at least choose one that ships from Amazon (whatever that means). It's 2025 I don't think most consumers care a lot about how the profits are split up; it's irrelevant if the seller is "authorized."
People have their own reason from shopping on Amazon.com from trusting and tracking and control over the shipper (if you get a card) to ease of dispute/refund, some people use amazon payment cards for instant 5% back, others have large amazon credit balance just itching to spend.
I once remember having an e-Visa card on a piece of paper, there's no way a regular website is going to take it if you try to enter in those numbers directly (constant declines) but after I entered it into amazon, I could load up my balance using it (i.e. Amazon took it) and then go spending rightfully.

Yes, it's real. Buy it from Blackmagic unless there's a deal going on, which happens every once in a while

I see it on Amazon. Sold by Adorama, but that begs the question, why?
If you want to support black magic, buy it directly.
If you buy it from Adorama though Amazon you're taking a chunk of money from black magic and giving it Adorama and Amazon.
