Posted June 12Jun 12 Administrators From OBS to DaVinci Resolve to GIMP, there are amazing free alternatives to expensive creative software. Where do you save money with open-source tools, and where do you invest in paid solutions? Share your software stack!
June 22Jun 22 Honestly I only use free software when it comes to editing my videos. On Linux I use Kdenlive, but if I'm using Windows I use DaVinci Resolve. I also use GIMP to make thumbnails as well as banner images for my websites. I've tried Adobe Premiere before but I didn't care for it so I canceled my Adobe subscription and went back to using DaVinci Resolve.
June 24Jun 24 I am a Switch fan, and mostly because of its exclusive titles. Mario Kart or Zelda are iconic in gaming. Also, it is small, easily movable and convenient to use. Occasionally I play mobile games but Switch is the favorite of mine.
June 24Jun 24 I really love open-source programs and I have used GIMP and DaVinci Resolve. They are highly functional and the good thing is that they are not so expensive. Nevertheless, paid options may be preferable in case of professional requirements.

June 26Jun 26 I believe that GIMP and DaVinci Resolve are open-source software for creators on a budget but paid software like Adobe Creative Cloud might have better functionality and additional support for professional creators.
June 29Jun 29 I will use opewnsource as long as I find it useful, I will switch to premium only when I am restricted by the open source. I have been using wordpress for many years and have no desire to switch to any premium software. However, after using SMF for 4 years, I switched to Xenforo
