I have decided to finally act on a dream of mine to pursue a creative hobby, and I hope to eventually get to a point where I am making either webcomics or youtube videos.
Unlike a good number of youtubers already, I am fucking poor, and adobe is the gold standard of editing software and they know it, hence why it’s so overpriced.
I would happy to hear of any alternatives.
It seems like a completely different paradigm. That alone doesn’t make it good or bad, but even taking the most charitable perspective on Gimp, claiming it is superior, it is no drop-in replacement.
Then again, this applies to most complex software. The fundamental workflows in Solidworks, Creo, Fusion360, and FreeCAD are very similar, but they are incredibly complicated pieces of software and if you want to get really good at one, you have to get really good at one. Surely the same applies to Maya vs. Blender (Blender is actually great though).
