"DaVinci Resolve 18: The Best Free Video Editor" - ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=XyzO2MTKwY…

That's the title of the video. MMMnot! It is not free. You have to trade your currency to unlock features. This is "freemium". Not free. You get a sample of the software so that they make you buy the full version. Classic marketing scheme.

The word "free" used again to mean very little if anything.

Just a scam.

I use it at work every day, there is really nothing coming even close available on Linux. And I really tried to make alternatives work. Yes, it’s freemium by design – but if the standard version is sufficient and standalone, then just the fact that there is a pro version doesn‘t make the free version any less free of charge. In my opinion. It‘s not that there are any „buy me now“ ads or anything like that.

So the strategy is clear, it is a lesser product to make you buy the full one. It is what it is, let's admit it. Freemium. So they should call it as such.

In terms of them pushing the PRO version on you, I only tested it a bit, but from what I know you are very limited in the "free" version in terms of what files you can import or what types you can export into, or resolutions. Also effects, transitions and such are mostly for the pro version.

I work on a 6h documentary in Kdenlive for the past 2 years. It is amazingly great. You can do a lot in it. Maybe Davinci is better in some regards, but if you can give me some examples I'd be curious to know....
