Forget Capcut! The free version has very limited feature, close to nothing. I am afraid that it finally only allows one output with BIG watermark monthly!

[aarongrooves]

I switched to Davinci Resolve and dropped my Adobe subscription back in 2018. Never looked back. After years of bugs, crashes, regressive "upgrades" and missing features, it made no sense to pay infinitely when better options exist. At least, better options for my needs

[TheMadHarridan]

I love Davinci Resolve. A bit of a learning curve, but it has so many cool features.

[ralphpayne]

Davinci Resolve will be where I start with thanks to you for a very succinct and clearly explained video on comparisons! Would love it if your channel did a deeper look at Kdenlive!

[KatEternity.]

After watching this video, I am permanently sticking with davinci resolve. It's fast, free, and rather easy to learn! Thank you!

[AdiMut]

How about Blender VSE (especially if Kdenlive made it in this list)? It does have a relatively steep learning curve but is very capable once you get a hang of it.. it is also open source & free.

[jamilamaddox]

I will begin using DaVinci Resolve- thank you!

[TheRenegade]

I’m a gardener looking forward to trying da Vinci resolve for my content. Thank you for the information.

[yashagashe]

What is minimum requirements for installation of da vinci like ram, graphics card & which is best laptop or pc ?

[Ashokraj-h]

Hey Kevin
So nyc of u for this beautiful information, god bless u.

[umerhashmi]

1:05 Capcut does add watermarks to my exports, i think kevin doesn't know about the updates.

[davewood]

Hi Kevin, love your videos. The CapCut watermark update for desktop was added after you made this video. It's on the whole video, not just the bit at the end.

[PagadalaVijayKumar]

Thanks Kevin, I use Clip and Canva and love your voice and videos, ❤🎉 Have a wonderful time 👍

[ZZP-SchoolNL]

DaVinci Resolve sounds really good, but so does Kdenlive. Choices, choices ... 😅

[da_ta]

I hope you will do a video on kdenlive thanks

[tipsynailsbymichelle]

I have been using Capcut, but now its all PRO version and being unemployed I just can't afford that.
Will be looking into Davinci Resolve

[shsechas]

Thanks Keven for the videos. Davinci Resolve for me, but these other options will be sufficient for some basic editing.

[FragranceCraft]

Using Canva, works great, love that I can integrate easily graphics ❤

[Rick_Retired]

I prefer Fabric car seats vs Leather, so my personal choice is to learn and "marry" Kdenlive to handle my creature comforts and video edits. Thanks for the options!
Edit: Curious, could you have made this video with Kdenlive alone?

[Raptystudios-ujls]

thank you, you have helped me become a true youtuber,
