For a one-person gaming channel doing long-form videos with multiple webcam angles + game capture + high-FPS footage, I’d pick DaVinci Resolve as the best all-around tool.

My ranking

Resolve's Edit page specifically supports larger multicam projects with 4, 9, 16, 25+ cameras, with simultaneous playback and fast angle switching. It can also sync by waveform, timecode, or in/out points. www.blackmagicdesign.comwww.blackmagicdesign.com

Why I'd choose Resolve for your situation

For a gaming channel, you can structure a project roughly like:

Video tracks

• Game capture — 1440p/4K 60–240 FPS
• Facecam
• Secondary webcam
• Overhead/hand cam, if applicable
• B-roll / memes / graphics

Audio

• Game audio
• Mic
• Discord
• Music/SFX

Then use multicam for the camera angles while keeping the game capture as your primary source. Resolve also has Fairlight audio and serious color tools built in, so you're not bouncing between programs for the finishing work.

There's another particularly useful detail: Resolve 19.1 added the ability to retain individual audio tracks/channels from multicam sources, which is handy when your recordings have separate mic/game/Discord channels. documents.blackmagicdesign.com

One big caveat: high FPS

If you're recording 120/144/165/240 FPS, don't assume the editor will happily play several streams of that footage natively just because your PC is powerful.

Your bottleneck can be the codec + storage + number of simultaneous streams, not simply GPU horsepower. Multicam testing shows that codec, frame size, frame rate, and storage speed are major factors. larryjordan.com

For a long gaming project, I'd generally use proxies/optimized media for the editing stage and retain the original high-FPS recordings for the final render.

When I'd choose something else

Choose Final Cut Pro if you're on a Mac, particularly Apple Silicon, and your priority is "I want the smoothest possible solo editing experience." Independent multicam testing has found Final Cut particularly efficient with multiple streams. documents.blackmagicdesign.comlarryjordan.comlarryjordan.com

Choose Premiere Pro if you're already heavily invested in Adobe—especially Photoshop, After Effects, Audition, or the broader Creative Cloud workflow. It's extremely capable, but multicam performance has historically been less efficient than Final Cut in some testing. documents.blackmagicdesign.comlarryjordan.comlarryjordan.com

Choose Resolve if you're starting fresh and want one application that can handle editing + multicam + audio + color + effects + delivery without building an Adobe subscription ecosystem around it.

So, for your exact description: DaVinci Resolve Studio would be my first choice. www.blackmagicdesign.comwww.blackmagicdesign.com

If you tell me your PC/Mac specs, recording resolution/FPS, number of webcams, and OBS recording codec, I can tell you exactly how I'd set up the Resolve project and proxy workflow for those long gaming videos.

For a one-person gaming channel editing long videos with multiple webcam tracks + game capture + high FPS, I’d pick DaVinci Resolve—specifically Resolve Studio if your budget allows.

My ranking

Why Resolve fits your workflow particularly well:

• Excellent multicam: Resolve's Edit page supports 4, 9, 16, 25+ camera angles, with simultaneous playback and separate audio/video switching. www.blackmagicdesign.comdocuments.blackmagicdesign.comhelpx.adobe.com
• Great for OBS-style recordings: Resolve can preserve the individual audio channels from multicam source angles, which is particularly useful if your recordings have separate mic/game/Discord tracks. documents.blackmagicdesign.com
• Long-form friendly: You can keep game capture, webcams, overlays, effects, and audio on separate tracks rather than constantly flattening things.
• One application: Editing, color, audio mixing (Fairlight), effects (Fusion), and export are all in the same program.
• High-FPS footage: 60/120 FPS workflows are perfectly reasonable; the bigger consideration is codec and playback performance rather than simply the frame rate.
• Cost: Resolve has a free version, while Studio is a one-time purchase rather than a perpetual subscription.

Where I'd choose Premiere instead

I'd go with Premiere if you expect to use After Effects/Photoshop heavily, collaborate with other editors, or want the huge Adobe/plugin ecosystem. Premiere's multicam workflow is also very mature and can synchronize footage from multiple camera sources, including mixed frame rates/codecs. helpx.adobe.com

For a solo creator, though, Resolve has a particularly compelling advantage: you're getting a full post-production suite rather than paying for an ecosystem you may not need.

My practical recommendation:
OBS → DaVinci Resolve → proxies/optimized media → multicam edit → Fairlight audio → Fusion for occasional effects → YouTube export.

One important caveat: if you're recording 144/165/240 FPS gameplay with multiple 1080p/4K webcam streams, your CPU/GPU, storage, and recording codecs will matter enormously. A well-configured Resolve workflow can be dramatically smoother than trying to edit the original H.264/H.265 files directly.

If you tell me your CPU + GPU + RAM + whether you're on Windows/Mac + recording resolution/FPS, I can recommend the exact editing setup (proxy resolution, codec, timeline FPS, and storage) for your machine.

For a one-person gaming channel editing long videos with multiple webcam tracks + game capture + high-FPS footage, my first choice would be DaVinci Resolve Studio.

🥇 Best fit: DaVinci Resolve Studio

Blackmagic Design's blackmagicdesign.com is particularly well suited to a solo creator because it keeps editing, audio, color, effects, and delivery in one application.

Why I'd pick it for your workflow:

• Excellent multicam: Resolve can handle complex multicam projects with 4, 9, 16, 25+ angles, with waveform/timecode syncing and live angle switching. Blackmagic Design Blackmagic Design
• Great for webcam + gameplay: You can treat game capture, facecams, alternate POVs, etc. as separate angles/tracks and switch between them while editing.
• High-frame-rate support: Studio supports 10-bit footage up to 120 fps and resolutions beyond 4K. Blackmagic Design
• Long-form workflow: The proxy tools and streamlined Cut/Edit pages are useful when you're dealing with hours of footage. Blackmagic Design
• Audio is built in: Fairlight gives you much more control than the typical "video editor" approach—useful if your OBS recordings have separate mic/game/Discord tracks.
• No subscription: Studio is a $295 one-time purchase according to Blackmagic's current listing. Blackmagic Design

One particularly relevant improvement in Resolve 21 is that multicam clips can include all audio tracks from each angle, rather than forcing you to collapse everything into one audio source. Blackmagic Design Documents

🥈 Premiere Pro

Adobe's adobe.com is the other serious contender.

I'd choose Premiere instead if you expect to rely heavily on After Effects, Photoshop, Adobe's ecosystem, or eventually hand projects to other editors. Its multicam workflow is mature, and Adobe explicitly supports grouping footage from different cameras and cutting between them during playback. adobe.com

For a solo gaming creator, though, I think Resolve has the better overall value because you aren't paying a recurring subscription and you get the audio/color/VFX ecosystem in the same application.

What I'd actually use

For something like:

3-hour recording → 2 webcams → 1440p/4K 60–120fps gameplay → separate mic/game/Discord audio → 20–40 minute YouTube video

I'd do:

OBS recordings → Resolve multicam/sync → proxy media → rough cut → multicam angle switching → audio cleanup → zooms/effects → color → export

And importantly, don't edit the full-resolution 120fps files directly if your machine struggles with them. Generate proxies/optimized media and edit those; Resolve specifically provides proxy editing for this kind of workload.

My verdict:
Resolve Studio > Premiere Pro > Final Cut Pro for the particular workflow you described.

If you tell me your CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, resolution/FPS of your gameplay and webcam recordings, I can tell you whether Resolve or Premiere will actually perform better on your PC and what proxy settings I'd use.

For a one-person gaming channel editing long videos with multiple webcam tracks + gameplay capture + high frame rates, I’d pick DaVinci Resolve—specifically Resolve Studio if you can afford it.

My ranking

Why Resolve fits especially well: its multicam system is designed for complex projects with 4, 9, 16, 25+ camera angles, lets you switch angles in real time, and can sync using waveform or timecode. www.blackmagicdesign.com

For a gaming video, you can structure a project roughly like:

• Track 1: 60/120 FPS gameplay
• Track 2: main webcam
• Track 3: alternate webcam / facecam
• Track 4+: memes, B-roll, graphics, alerts
• Audio: mic + game audio + Discord + music
• Multicam: use the gameplay/webcams as angles when appropriate
• Proxy/optimized media: for long 4K/120-FPS recordings

Premiere is also very strong here—it can display multiple camera angles simultaneously and let you cut between them during playback. www.adobe.com

The important caveat

For long, high-FPS gaming footage, the editor matters less than your codec + storage + GPU + proxy workflow. Trying to scrub several simultaneous 4K/120 FPS H.264/H.265 streams natively can make even a powerful computer miserable.

If you're a solo creator, I'd therefore go:

OBS → DaVinci Resolve → proxies/optimized media → multicam edit → Fairlight audio → Fusion effects → export

And if you tell me your CPU, GPU, RAM, and whether your recordings are 1080p/1440p/4K at 60/120/144 FPS, I can tell you whether Resolve or Premiere will actually perform better on your specific PC.

For a one-person gaming channel doing long-form videos with multiple webcam angles + game capture + high FPS, my first choice would be DaVinci Resolve Studio.

🥇 DaVinci Resolve Studio — best overall for your use case

It fits a solo creator particularly well because you can do essentially the whole workflow in one application: editing, multicam, color, audio, effects, and export.

• Excellent multicam: Resolve supports large multicam setups and lets you switch angles while editing. www.blackmagicdesign.com
• Great for long projects: its Edit/Cut workflow is well suited to large, complex timelines. www.video-editor.com
• High-FPS footage: 60/120/240-fps gameplay can be incorporated into timelines, including for slow-motion/replay effects.
• Game + webcam workflow: you can keep gameplay, facecams, overlays, audio, etc. on separate tracks and switch/compose them as needed.
• Audio is unusually good for an NLE, which matters when you're managing game audio, mic, Discord, music, sound effects, etc.
• Fusion gives you built-in motion graphics/VFX without automatically needing After Effects.
• Resolve 21 also added multicam improvements, including the ability to retain all audio tracks from each angle. documents.blackmagicdesign.com
• You can start with the free version; Studio is the paid upgrade.

DaVinci Resolve official site

🥈 Adobe Premiere Pro — choose this if you're heavily into Adobe

Premiere is probably the better choice if your workflow involves After Effects, Photoshop, Adobe Audition, or collaboration with other editors.

Its multicam workflow is mature, and the broader Adobe ecosystem is a major advantage. documents.blackmagicdesign.comchatcut.io

The downside for a solo creator is the ongoing subscription and the fact that you'll often end up bouncing between Adobe applications.

What I'd pick

One important caveat: with long 4K/120-FPS gameplay recordings plus several webcam tracks, the computer matters almost as much as the editor. I'd strongly recommend using proxies/optimized media rather than trying to play every original stream simultaneously.

If you tell me your CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, and whether you're on Windows or Mac, I can tell you exactly how I'd set up Resolve for your gaming workflow—including proxy settings, timeline FPS, recording formats, and a fast multicam layout.

For a one-person gaming channel editing long videos with multiple webcam tracks, game capture, and high-framerate footage, I’d narrow it down to these:

1. DaVinci Resolve Studio — best overall for a solo creator

chatcut.io

My top pick for most one-person channels.

Why it fits:

• Excellent with long timelines (30 minutes to several hours)
• Strong multicam editing for gameplay + webcams + multiple POVs
• Built-in color grading, audio mixing, and effects so you don't need multiple apps
• Good GPU acceleration for high-resolution/high-FPS footage
• Fairlight audio tools are useful for balancing game audio, mic, Discord, music, etc.
• One-time purchase instead of a subscription for Studio chatcut.io

A typical workflow:

1. Record in OBS:
   • Game capture
   • Webcam
   • Mic
   • Discord/party chat
   • Separate audio tracks
2. Sync everything in Resolve
3. Use multicam for camera switching
4. Keep audio tracks separated for detailed mixing
5. Finish with color, subtitles, effects, and export

The free version is already powerful, but Studio becomes much more attractive if you edit:

• 4K 60fps+
• H.264/H.265 footage
• heavy effects
• noise reduction
• AI tools

chatcut.io

2. Adobe Premiere Pro — best if you want the YouTube "industry" workflow

www.video-editor.com

Choose Premiere if you:

• already use Photoshop/After Effects
• plan to hire editors later
• want access to a huge ecosystem of templates/plugins
• frequently collaborate with other editors

Strengths:

• Excellent timeline editing
• Mature multicam tools
• Great integration with After Effects for memes, motion graphics, animations
• Many gaming editors already know it chatcut.io

Weakness:

• Subscription cost
• You may end up needing extra Adobe apps for a full workflow

3. Final Cut Pro — only if you're on Mac

larryjordan.com

If you have an Apple Silicon Mac, Final Cut is extremely fast and smooth, especially with multicam. larryjordan.com

Good for:

• solo creators
• fast turnaround
• lots of 4K footage

Less ideal if:

• you use Windows
• you want maximum plugin compatibility with other creators

My ranking for your exact use case

For a one-person gaming channel, I’d start with DaVinci Resolve. It gives you the most "professional studio" capability without forcing you into a subscription, and it scales well from simple gameplay uploads to heavily edited videos with multiple cameras and audio sources. chatcut.io

Your PC specs matter a lot, though. A 4K60 OBS workflow with multiple webcams can feel completely different on an RTX 3060 vs RTX 4090/5090, and 32GB vs 64GB RAM can change the experience.

For a one-person gaming channel editing long videos with game capture + multiple webcam/camera tracks + high-FPS footage, my first choice would be DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Why Resolve fits your workflow

• Excellent multicam: Resolve's multicam editor supports 4, 9, 16, 25+ angles, lets you view them simultaneously, and can sync by waveform or timecode. www.blackmagicdesign.com
• Great for long projects: Its Edit page is designed for larger, more complex projects, while the Cut page is optimized for fast turnaround. www.blackmagicdesign.com
• Everything in one application: editing, color, Fusion effects, and serious audio tools are integrated, which is particularly useful when you're doing the whole production yourself.
• High-FPS gaming footage: 60/120/240-FPS material is well within the sort of footage modern NLEs are designed to handle; the important part is using proxies/optimized media when you're stacking several high-bitrate streams.
• Multicam audio is particularly useful: Resolve 21 added the ability for multicam clips to retain all audio tracks from each angle, which is handy when your "angles" include gameplay, webcam, mic, Discord, etc. documents.blackmagicdesign.com
• Cost: there's a free version, while Studio is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription. www.capterra.com

Resolve vs. Premiere for your situation

\*Especially if you're heavily invested in After Effects.

My recommendation: start with DaVinci Resolve, particularly if you're editing everything yourself. Its multicam workflow and all-in-one nature mean you're less likely to end up bouncing between programs. www.blackmagicdesign.com

If your videos are something like 2–4 hours of raw gameplay → 20–40 minute highly edited YouTube video, I can also recommend the exact editing workflow/settings I'd use for Resolve (proxy settings, timeline FPS, multicam organization, audio tracks, and how to keep 4K/120 FPS footage smooth).

For a one-person gaming channel, I’d pick DaVinci Resolve—especially if you’re editing long videos with game capture + one or more webcam tracks + high-FPS footage.

Why Resolve fits your workflow

• Excellent multicam: Resolve’s Edit page supports multicam projects with 4, 9, 16, 25+ cameras, lets you view angles simultaneously, and can sync using waveform, timecode, or in/out points. www.blackmagicdesign.com
• Great for long-form projects: You can keep gameplay, webcam(s), overlays, and audio on separate tracks and make angle changes without flattening your source material.
• High-frame-rate footage: Resolve is well suited to gaming footage where you might mix 60/120/240-fps sources with a normal 60-fps delivery timeline. The important thing is choosing the timeline/output frame rate deliberately.
• Proxies: Resolve has built-in proxy workflows, which are particularly valuable when you're simultaneously decoding several high-bitrate game captures and webcam recordings. www.blackmagicdesign.com
• All-in-one: Editing, color, audio mixing, effects, and motion graphics are in the same application, so a solo creator doesn't need to bounce between several programs.
• Cost: The free version is unusually capable. That's a big advantage for a one-person channel versus committing to a monthly Premiere subscription. davinciresolveclub.com

When I'd choose Premiere instead

Adobe Premiere Pro is arguably the better choice if you:

• already live in the Adobe ecosystem,
• use After Effects heavily,
• rely on lots of third-party templates/plugins,
• expect to eventually hand projects to other editors,
• or want Adobe's AI/search/text-based editing features. www.adobe.com

Premiere also has mature multicam editing with audio-based synchronization. www.adobe.com

My pick for your exact scenario

Bottom line: if you're starting fresh, I'd use DaVinci Resolve Studio if your budget allows it. For a solo gaming creator, its multicam + proxy + audio + color + effects workflow gives you a very strong "one application does everything" setup. Resolve 21 also added improvements specifically around multicam audio, including the ability to retain all audio tracks from each angle. documents.blackmagicdesign.com

If you tell me your CPU, GPU, RAM, recording resolution/FPS, and how many webcam/game tracks you typically have, I can tell you whether Resolve or Premiere will perform better on your particular PC and what proxy settings I'd use.

For a one-person gaming channel editing long videos with multiple webcam tracks + game capture + high frame rates, I’d pick Blackmagic Design DaVinci Resolve, specifically Resolve Studio if your footage is 10-bit or above 60 fps.

My pick: DaVinci Resolve

It fits this workflow particularly well because:

• Multicam: Resolve's Edit page supports complex multicam projects with 4, 9, 16, 25+ camera angles, simultaneous multicam playback, and audio/video-only switching. www.blackmagicdesign.com
• High frame rates: Resolve Studio supports 10-bit video up to 120 fps and resolutions above 4K. www.blackmagicdesign.comwww.pugetsystems.com
• Long projects: Its proxy workflow is useful when you're dealing with several hours of 1440p/4K gameplay and webcam footage. www.blackmagicdesign.comwww.pugetsystems.com
• All-in-one: Editing, color, effects, motion graphics, and audio are in the same application, so a solo creator doesn't have to bounce between several programs. www.blackmagicdesign.comwww.pugetsystems.com
• Cost: The free version is unusually capable; Studio is a one-time $295 purchase rather than a subscription. www.blackmagicdesign.comwww.pugetsystems.com

What I'd use instead

Adobe Premiere Pro is the main alternative. Its multicam workflow is excellent—you can view all camera angles simultaneously and switch angles with keyboard shortcuts while editing. helpx.adobe.com

I'd choose Premiere if you:

• already know Premiere well,
• use lots of Adobe/After Effects assets,
• expect to eventually hand projects to other editors, or
• specifically want the Adobe ecosystem.

For your exact workflow

I'd structure a project roughly like:

Gameplay 1440p/4K 60–120fps
↓
Webcam 1 / Webcam 2 / facecam
↓
Microphone + game audio
↓
Multicam/synced timeline
↓
Main edit → zooms/reactions → captions → sound design → color → export

The biggest issue won't actually be the editor—it'll be playback performance. Multiple high-frame-rate H.264/HEVC recordings can be extremely demanding. Current benchmarking specifically tests four simultaneous streams because multicam/PiP workloads can expose hardware-decoding limitations. www.pugetsystems.com

Bottom line:
🏆 DaVinci Resolve Studio — best overall for a solo gaming creator with lots of footage.
🥈 Premiere Pro — best if you're already invested in Adobe or plan to collaborate with editors.
❌ I wouldn't make CapCut/Filmora/etc. my primary editor for this particular workflow.

If you tell me your CPU, GPU, RAM, resolution/FPS of your gameplay and webcams, and whether you're on Windows or Mac, I can tell you which one will actually perform better on your machine.

For a one-person gaming channel editing long videos with multiple webcam tracks, gameplay capture, high FPS footage (60/120fps), overlays, and lots of cuts, the best choices are:

🥇 Best overall: DaVinci Resolve

Best if you want a powerful setup without paying a monthly subscription. It is built for professional timelines, supports multi-track editing, strong audio mixing, color grading, and effects. It is a common recommendation for serious solo YouTube creators. techtippr.com

Why it fits a solo gaming channel:

• Built-in color correction and effects
• Free version is extremely capable; Studio adds more GPU features and advanced tools. chatcut.io

Pick this if: you are making 10–60 minute videos and want a professional workflow.

🥈 Best if you want the "YouTuber editor" ecosystem: Adobe Premiere Pro

Premiere is still a major choice for professional creators, especially if you also use Adobe After Effects for animated graphics. increditors.com

Advantages:

• Very mature multicam editing
• Huge plugin/template ecosystem
• Easy handoff if you eventually hire an editor
• Great integration with Adobe tools

Downside:

• Subscription cost
• Can require more optimization for very heavy timelines

Pick this if: you expect to collaborate with editors or want a common industry workflow.

🥉 Best for Mac-only creators: Final Cut Pro

If you are on a powerful Mac, Final Cut can be extremely fast.

Advantages:

• Very smooth playback
• Fast exports
• Good multicam
• One-time purchase

Downside:

• Mac only
• Different editing style than Premiere/Resolve

My recommendation for a one-person gaming channel

Typical solo creator setup:

1. Record
   • OBS Studio for gameplay + webcam capture
   • Record separate audio tracks:
     • mic
     • game
     • Discord
     • alerts/music

2. Edit
   • Start with DaVinci Resolve
   • Create a template project with:
     • intro/outro
     • webcam frame
     • subtitle style
     • sound effects bins
     • export presets

3. Upgrade later
   • Move to Premiere if you need team workflows
   • Buy Resolve Studio if your GPU-heavy workflow needs it

For a one-person gaming channel, I would generally choose:

DaVinci Resolve → best value and long-term skill
Premiere Pro → best if you want a professional/editor-team pipeline
Final Cut Pro → best if you are all-in on Mac chatcut.io

A few details would change the recommendation: your PC specs, whether footage is 1080p60 / 1440p60 / 4K60 / 120fps, and whether you make edited comedy-style videos or stream highlight compilations.

For a one-person gaming channel editing long videos with multiple webcam tracks, game capture, high framerates, and lots of layers, I’d narrow it to these:

1. DaVinci Resolve — best overall solo creator choice

Best if: you want a professional workflow without paying a subscription.

Why it fits gaming:

• Excellent multitrack timelines (gameplay, facecam, overlays, Discord, mic, music, SFX)
• Strong multicam editing for switching between cameras/POVs
• Great GPU acceleration for high-bitrate gameplay footage
• Built-in color grading, audio mixing, and VFX tools
• Free version is unusually capable; Studio adds more GPU features, AI tools, and advanced effects. techtippr.cominsideeditors.com

Downsides:

• Steeper learning curve
• Heavy projects benefit from proxies and a fast SSD

My pick for a solo gaming YouTuber starting seriously: Resolve Studio.

2. Adobe Premiere Pro — best if you want the “YouTube editor” ecosystem

Best if: you plan to eventually hire editors or work with motion graphics.

Strengths:

• Industry-standard workflow
• Excellent multicam tools
• Huge plugin ecosystem
• Works well with Adobe After Effects for animated intros, memes, graphics, and effects
• Great handoff between Adobe apps. chatcut.io

Downsides:

3. VEGAS Pro — best for fast gaming edits

Best if: your style is fast cuts, memes, zooms, sound effects, and montage editing.

Strengths:

• Historically popular with gaming creators
• Fast timeline workflow
• Good for rapid editing

Downside:

• Smaller professional ecosystem than Premiere/Resolve. techtippr.cominsideeditors.com

My recommended solo-gaming workflow

Capture

• OBS Studio
• Record separate tracks:
  • Game audio
  • Microphone
  • Discord
  • Webcam
  • Gameplay

Edit

• DaVinci Resolve Studio

Workflow

1. Import recordings
2. Sync audio automatically
3. Make a multicam timeline if switching POVs/webcams
4. Do the rough cut first
5. Add memes/effects afterward
6. Color grade and audio mix last

For long videos (30 minutes to 2+ hours), I’d prioritize timeline stability and organization over flashy features.

Hardware matters too:

For smooth editing of 1440p/4K 60–120fps gameplay:

• 32GB RAM minimum (64GB is nicer)
• NVMe SSD for footage/projects
• Modern 8+ core CPU
• GPU with plenty of VRAM (8GB+ is a comfortable target)

If you tell me your PC specs, recording resolution/FPS (1080p60, 1440p144, 4K60, etc.), and video style (stream highlights vs heavily edited MrBeast-style), I can recommend a more specific setup.

For a one-person gaming channel, I’d pick DaVinci Resolve Studio.

It fits your workflow unusually well:

• Long-form projects: Resolve’s Edit page is built for large, complex timelines.
• Multiple webcams/game captures: Its multicam system supports 4, 9, 16, 25+ camera angles, with waveform/timecode syncing and separate video/audio switching. www.blackmagicdesign.com
• High frame rates: Studio is particularly attractive if you're working with 120/144/240fps gameplay or high-resolution capture; Studio supports exports up to 32K/120fps. www.techradar.com
• One-person workflow: Editing, color, VFX/motion graphics, and serious audio work are all in the same application, so you don't need to bounce between Premiere, After Effects, Audition, etc. www.techradar.com
• Cost: Resolve has a very capable free version, while Studio is a one-time purchase rather than a recurring subscription. www.techradar.com

Resolve vs. Premiere for your specific use

\*Premiere becomes much stronger if you're also heavily using After Effects.

My recommendation: If you're starting from scratch, use Resolve Studio and build your entire channel workflow around it. It's especially compelling when you're the editor, colorist, audio engineer, and producer all at once.

If your videos are more like 10–30 minute highly edited YouTube videos with lots of memes, animated graphics, subtitles, zooms, sound effects, and After Effects-style motion graphics, I'd give Premiere + After Effects a harder look. Premiere's Adobe ecosystem remains one of its biggest advantages. www.video-editor.com

If you tell me your PC specs (CPU/GPU/RAM), recording resolution, FPS, number of webcams, and typical video length, I can tell you exactly how I'd set up the Resolve project—including proxies, multicam, audio tracks, and timeline FPS.

For a one-person gaming channel doing long-form videos with game capture + multiple webcam tracks + high-FPS footage, I’d pick DaVinci Resolve Studio.

Why it fits especially well:

• Multicam: Resolve can handle 4, 9, 16, 25+ camera angles and lets you switch angles while playing back the multicam sequence. www.blackmagicdesign.com
• High frame rates: Studio supports 10-bit footage up to 120 fps, plus resolutions beyond 4K. www.blackmagicdesign.comhelpx.adobe.com
• One-person workflow: Editing, color, audio, VFX, motion graphics, and delivery are all in one application, so you don't need to bounce between several programs. www.blackmagicdesign.comhelpx.adobe.com
• Long videos: Its proxy workflow is particularly useful when you're dealing with hours of 1440p/4K gameplay and several simultaneous camera recordings. www.blackmagicdesign.comhelpx.adobe.com
• Cost: Resolve has a free version, while Studio is a one-time $295 purchase. www.blackmagicdesign.comhelpx.adobe.com

When I'd choose Premiere instead

Adobe Premiere is the better choice if you already live in the Adobe ecosystem, particularly if you plan to use After Effects heavily. Its multicam workflow is also very mature: you can synchronize multiple camera sources and switch angles in real time using the multicamera monitor. helpx.adobe.com

But for a solo creator starting or building a channel, I'd lean Resolve Studio because you're getting the whole post-production stack without a recurring subscription.

My ranking for your specific workflow:

1. 🥇 DaVinci Resolve Studio — best overall for a solo gaming creator
2. 🥈 Adobe Premiere — best if Adobe/After Effects integration matters
3. 🥉 Final Cut Pro — excellent if you're exclusively on Mac, but less compelling for a mixed-PC gaming workflow

One important caveat: high-FPS multicam editing is demanding regardless of the NLE. For, say, 4K120 gameplay + 4K60 webcam + additional captures, I'd strongly recommend a proxy/optimized-media workflow rather than expecting the original files to play smoothly simultaneously.

If you tell me your PC/Mac specs, recording resolution/FPS, number of webcams, and typical video length, I can tell you exactly how I'd set up the editing workflow.

For a one-person gaming channel editing long videos with multiple webcam angles + game capture + high-FPS footage, I’d pick DaVinci Resolve 21.

My ranking

1. DaVinci Resolve 21 — best overall
   • Excellent multicam workflow: you can sync and switch between multiple video angles while seeing them simultaneously. Blackmagic specifically supports complex multicam projects with 4, 9, 16, 25+ cameras. www.blackmagicdesign.comdocuments.blackmagicdesign.com
   • Great fit for a gaming workflow where you might have gameplay + facecam + second facecam/guest + audio tracks + B-roll.
   • Editing, color, effects, and serious audio work are all in one application.
   • The free version is unusually capable; Studio adds additional performance/AI features.
   • Resolve 21 also improved multicam audio handling, including the ability to retain audio tracks from all angles. www.blackmagicdesign.comdocuments.blackmagicdesign.com

2. Adobe Premiere — best if you heavily use After Effects
   • I'd choose this if your channel relies on elaborate motion graphics, Photoshop assets, After Effects compositions, or you collaborate with other editors.
   • Its conventional track-based timeline is particularly comfortable for gameplay + webcam + overlays + sound effects.
   • The downside for a solo creator is the subscription and, in some testing, weaker multicam playback efficiency than Final Cut/Resolve. larryjordan.com

3. Final Cut Pro — best if you're on a Mac
   • If you have a powerful Apple-silicon Mac, Final Cut is arguably the performance king for this type of work. Independent multicam testing found it more efficient than Resolve and Premiere. larryjordan.com
   • Very good for long recordings where you want fast scrubbing and responsive multicam playback.
   • The Magnetic Timeline is the biggest adjustment if you're accustomed to Premiere/Resolve-style tracks.

For your specific workflow

I'd structure it roughly like:

OBS/game capture → Resolve multicam → rough cut → webcam/facecam switching → sound cleanup → memes/B-roll → color → subtitles → export

The important thing isn't just the editor, though. High-FPS multicam editing is heavily dependent on your codec, CPU/GPU, RAM, and especially storage speed. Those factors can matter as much as the NLE itself. larryjordan.com

If you're recording 1440p/4K at 60–120+ FPS, I'd strongly favor Resolve and use proxies/optimized media when necessary rather than expecting several native high-bitrate streams to play perfectly in real time.

Bottom line:

• Windows: DaVinci Resolve 21
• Mac: DaVinci Resolve 21 or Final Cut Pro; I'd lean Resolve if you want maximum control
• Heavy After Effects/motion graphics: Premiere
• Solo gaming creator wanting one program to do almost everything: DaVinci Resolve 21. www.blackmagicdesign.comdocuments.blackmagicdesign.com
