Alternatives for premiere and photoshop?

posted 3 years ago

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.

For the life of me I can’t find a good free, open source video editing software. I’ve tried a dozen of them, they all suck shit. Pirate something like CyberLink PowerDirector.

For a Photoshop alt it depends what you need it for but there are great free and open source options. For photo manipulation people recommend GIMP, but I find that program needlessly complicated and obtuse, photo manip isn’t something I need often so I can’t speak to it really. But if you want graphic design then I say Krita all the way. I love Krita, I love their community, I can’t recommend it enough for comics or digital drawing/painting.
