salguod, man 🍂🍁 lazysupperFinished the video for my kid's kindergarten. Even though it wasted 8+ hours, I'm so glad my Premiere Pro died. It compelled me to try DaVinci Resolve. And it is awesome.I'm surprised Adobe can still ~~sell~~ rent Premiere Pro for $24/month to people who don't need it for specific features. (And especially non-professionals.)DaVinci is one of the best free versions of a software I've ever used, if not the best. And the Pro version is only $300—not a subscription.<a href="https://famichiki.jp/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSoftware</a>
