    I have been searching for good alternatives to AE and Premiere for a while now. I have messed with DaVinci a few times, but always bounced off. Any suggestions. Bonus points if anyone can point me in the direction of a Lightroom alternative.

      For video editing, Kdenlive is the best alternative I found so far, although it takes some time to get used to. For something AE related, check out Blender. It might be a bit overkill for most projects, but it is very powerful. As a lightroom alternative there’s Darktable. All of the mentioned software also has the advantage of being free and open source.

        I am super impressed by Blender, but there’s not really a substitute for After Effects yet, open source or otherwise.

          Have you tried Natron? This software still needs some serious love, but maybe you can appreciate its potential as tool for people used to AE.

            Very interesting! I’ll check it out. Thanks for the recommendation.

      Capture One is great. Better than LR for many things, especially tethered shooting, but I still need LR for specific workflows (timelapse processing).
