Rule #1: The software is Beta, ergo you are a Beta Tester You, as an informed end-user, must take responsibility for using software that the developer is telling you is not fully tested. Whether you’re on a private beta program (perhaps even under a Non-Disclosure Agreement) or using publicly available, freely downloadable Public Beta software.

But the big, overriding error? Not understanding that he’s a beta tester (and the responsibilities that come with that)! Once you understand that – then the steps you follow to upgrade and install beta software become much easier to accept – and you’ll sidestep Dmitri’s problem. Unfortunately, Dmitri made several critical errors when installing DaVinci Resolve 15 Public Beta. To confirm that I probably should have started with this Insight first, Mixing Light Member Dmitri replied to Christophe: Then, Mixing Light’s Member-At-Large Christophe Delauney posted this comment:

But my excitement got the better of me and I posted my ‘initial thoughts’ Insight first.
