- If you do any kind of digital media creation then there's no question that Adobe's Creative Suite is the industry standard. It comes with a price though, and unlike other types of software products, it's an ongoing price. You're never done paying for Adobe software, and because of that you may be put off by the prospect of doing any kind of serious media creation. You don't have to let that stop you any longer though because there's plenty of free alternatives to choose from, and in this video I'll be outlining some of them.
The free alternatives are as follows...
Photoshop

- Krita: krita.org/en/
- Photopea: www.photopea.com/
Lightroom

Da Vinci Resolve is another great free video editor. Bit of a learning curve, so maybe not the best for first-timers, but full of features.
@@kumarbrown6804 JayAreTV is my go to channel for DaVinci tutorials.
The free version doesn't have GPU hardware acceleration.
@@AiresLA which author or course do you recommend?
@@beronori Does Blender have?
As a professional, I almost exclusively use Davinci now.
Fun fact: 50% of Adobe users are using cracked versions.
how do you know?

You never cease to delight and amaze me, Nick. No frills, to the point place to get real world type graphics and videos information.
Thanks again, from a grateful, longtime, devoted Inkscape tutorials fan.
honestly the best soft tutorial ive ever seen. short and straight to the point ! i love it
Got a photoshop ad before this video, they don’t want me to be converted...
same lol.
wow
Da vinci resolve is a great alternative to premiere and way easier to learn than blenders video sequencer tho it will take sometime to learn like any other software
That seems to be the consensus based on the feedback so far.
@@MD.media01 So does premiere. And just because it requires more power doesnt mean it shouldnt be included in the video. Its supposed to mention all the different possible alternatives.
Agree davinci resolve is amazing n get updates all the time... color grading beat eweryone else..
Sadly, the free version does not allow color adjustment. At least mine doesn't.
@@papercotton It most definetly does allow

Good to see you are supporting the free softwares by pointing out their features and capabilities. There could be more people like you. Thank you Nick not only for providing an amazing and high quality content, but for being that supportive.
I appreciate your hard work dude , you probably would've worked day and night to produce this masterpiece !
Very helpful and great video. But like our friend Alex here said, I am surprised you didn't mention Da Vinci Resolve. I use resolve for all my videos, compositing work (Fursion) and also audio mixing using Fairlight. Yes, its not the easiest software to use, but very powerful !!!
Oh Blender. I could explore your interface for weeks and not know all its secrets.
More like years
Lmao yea.. so fricking tru
It's truly astounding how easy the internet makes learning these days. Thanks for the tutorial, my guy.
I know, you've taught . It ans so much to so many people, you are helping us pursue our dreams! Love from Sweden
Man, you are the reason I started with 3D in Blender. I saw your video and you also talked about Blender. So I researched about it and the started using it and now I'm making really nice 3D designs.☺️😊
This is what I use:

I agree
GIMP is not that good as Photoshop
Replace GIMP with Microsoft Picture It! Express
If CCleaner sees GIMP, Piriform will literally erase the entire program because they think GIMP is a virus in disguise and may literally wipe out my hard drive
Finally soone who speaks in a calm way and getting to the point asap
It's really impressive to see how free and open-source software can do the job well as much as the paid counterparts.
This is much appreciated. I just started a POD tee shirt business, and literally have no money to spend on software. Thanks so much for posting this video.
i am grateful for your commitment to making the world a better place through your free program.
Really excited to try this feature out! Amazing work !
Lightroom: you can copy, but make sure to make it different
DarkTable: ... no i don’t think I will
Thanks, Nick. As a Linux user, I'm been using Inkscape, Gimp and Blender for years. These programs completely fill my needs.
Thank you so much for your tutorials It went from 'nice tutoet science' to simple logic! You have a new subscriber
Been watcNice tutorialng your vids for a good few weeks now, learning new sNice tutorialt each day. my worksoftow has improved so much since watcNice tutorialng
Men, I follow your channel like 2 years now and you’re really a master to me in Inkscape. I really appreciate that you give us some advice in free sources and to be better without to have to paid Adobe’s and have the same result with differents and free programs. So thanks Nick!!
men XD
I know you've heard this many times before but thank you so much for all the instruction. It's people like you that make the internet such an amazing place. 👍
Thank you for making such videos. They are really life oriented and, what's more important, they are interesting to do. Hope, you'll make some tutorials for Blender.
Great job I'm beginner Graphics Designer and this video is much more helpful for me or alot of other like me.❤😊
I came to the comments to say "RESOLVE", but since everybody already did...
Same
Say Natron then
You still say it, though.
@@jinraigami3349 Same here
It looks like you comment was ...
resolved.
Amazed with the amount of information in such a short time . Love it!
Hey. Seriously. Thank you. I just downloaded soft and I can CLEARLY see why your vid was recomnded. You're an aweso intro into
thank you so much for your contribution 💖 there are some programs I didn't know about, and I'm eager to try them
Thanks! As a long time linux user, I already have most of them installed. Thanks for the confirmation, and of course the video. I look forward to the next one.
Thanks so much, this couldn't have come at a more perfect time, super grateful🙏🏽
You r just aweso....i was litterly noob in tNice tutorials...u explained it very simply...thanks i will surely go for next parts of tNice tutorials video.. thanks
Keep em' comin' and thanks for all of the help!!
I love how every one of this is either open source or a actual a great product
Music production: LMMS;
Audio Editor: Audacity;
Video recording: OBS Studio;
Image Editor: GIMP;
Coding stuff: Netbeans and Visual Studio Code;
Vectors: Inkscape
Even though it was a lot, its exactly what i was looking for with such great brief explanations. Thanks bruv
Thank you, I've been looking for a long time
Reaper is also software worth checking out for audio editing! It has a non-expiring evaluation license and I have worked on several albums/productions with the software!
I personally use HitFilm Express for video editing. It's completely free and has almost all the features of Premiere Pro. It also has a built-in compositor that can act as a simple After Effects alternative.
For vector graphics, there's also Gravit Designer, even if it's kinda unstable.
Wow! You're a natural teacher. I feel like I can do Nice tutorialts now
Amazing. This is really neccesary
As a designer, with Adobe XD, Figma and Gimp I can almost do everything. But how ever, employers want me be able to work with the entire Adobe Suite. Even though the result matters, not the way leading to it, as long as the result includes the deadline. Well, they think it is better if the whole team uses the same software.
Even free software gives professional work. I can't remember which one it is... either Gimp or Inkscape is what one of the first Google logos was made with.
The best soft soft tutorial ever!
Good video. I think the best alternative to AE and PP would probably be Davinci Resolve and included Fusion app
Blender is multitasking software and Inkscape is my personal favourite ❤️❤️
Returning here 2 years after I first saw the video, I realised just now how much I have learnt. I am so grateful for your channel, everytNice tutorialng
Thanks so much for your thoughtful and detailed videos! On to the soft!
For video editing on linux I like Kdenlive a lot. It was VERY unstable not long ago but the latest release is usable just fine
Yeah I had a lot of problems with Kdenlive a few years back when I tried it.
agreed. I have had better luck with it than openshot and Its less resource hungry than blender. love the render script function too. just start the script and close out kdenlive and wait for the video to be ready.
I have worked considerably with Kdenlive over the years (both on Debian and Ubuntu). It indeed used to be very unstable, requiring constant project saving and frequent cursing. Maybe it still is unstable for some use cases, but for me it has been stable for some time now. Might be worth a revisit. That said, for many use cases Blender will suffice. Personally, I like the video effects stack from Kdenlive a lot, but it can be equally done with Blender's compositing features.
Kdenlive now lit!
I personally mostly use shotcut, it works fine for me, but i'm only doing some smaller projects, nothing huge or professional
Thats actually the best alternative list I have ever seen on youtube.
ikr
Damn! Worked like a charm! Thank you soooo much!
TNice tutorials is exactly what I needed to understand the UI. Great tutorial!
Adobe: does everything -
Blender: for free.
The idea is not mine.

I just watched ur video now and it was wat av been looking for bro..... thanks champ
the tone and control of ur voice says "I know my sNice tutorialt!". Good stuff buddy.
Blender is more appropriate as an alternative to After Effects even moreso than Natron because development on Natron has stopped for at least a year now since it has no more developers.
The current best free and open source video editor is Shotcut which gets updated every month and has been getting better and better. Blender's video editor has a lot of issues that even the biggest supporters of its video editor will admit to. For example, it has probably the worst playback of any of the free and open source video editors.
natron development is not stopped they have less devs
They are releasing RC version regularly
what do you think of davinchi resolve and hitfilm? Also I've been trying to install davinchi resolve but it won't let me so I guees I hope its not that good lol
@@starnice5559 " natron development is not stopped they have less devs "
As far as I know the releases that are put out are for bug fixes not actual development because they are no developers working on it. The person doing the updates is just doing some bug fixes as far as I know. They literally have at the main page of their website a big banner that says "Maintainer Needed!" for that reason.
@@mrED123 Yes, Hitfilm is a no brainer.
How about Olive and Kdenlive? I've seen alot of people suggesting these software
I legit got an Adobe Creative studio ad on this video LOL
Why don't you disable ads?
Man, you're rocks! Thank You for your course !!! I've learned so much!!!
This actually helped out a lot thanks for the help
no mention of Digikam? I find this as the best image organizer for Linux.
I feel like resolve is good option for Premiere, After Effects, and Fairlight
Installed, everything works, thanks!
Thank you! this vid helped my wallet a lot as im a youtuber who almost went in and used photoshop but now you gave me so many good free alternatives thank you!
Davinci Resolve is Lightroom, After Effects, Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and Audition in one
yeah maybe not the photoshop part or the audition one either and not really after effects either, but your on the right track.
@@mrED123 Resolve can definitely replace After Effects, switched from PP and AE about a year ago, haven't needed to go back to either although it took a while to figure out how to do things with Fusion that I already could do in AE
@@fearghalbergal9039 I found hitfilm to be a better free alternative to after effects than Resolve because the 3d, green screen, text, etc is so good and the documentation is very large.
Can't even import .mkv. WTF mate?
@@bobd2028 k handbrake
Davinci resolve is an amazing software that mostly matches and in some areas it beats premiere. Also not to mention it also has Hollywood level color grading and vfx tools. So it also eliminates the need of after effects for vfx. Also its audio editing capability is better than premiere. So if you compare overall davinci is way better.
And there is also Hitfilm express which is also quite amazing.
For after effects you could mention 'cavelry' which is very new and in beta. I know its not a complete software that ready for actual use yet, but from what ive seen so far it seems very simmilar to AE when it comes motion graphics. And I think you shouldve mentioned it just because there is no other app that comes close to AE's motion graphics feature and this seems to be the one that has potential to come very close.
And When it comes to vfx part of AE there are a lot of alternatives. There is hitfilm for layer based apps. And there is Fusion, Flame, Nuke etc for node based apps.
Huh, is resolve completely free though? thought free was limited idk
@@pandozmc It is limited but the limitations ar very minimal. I beleive you dont get support for all the file formats and some limitations in export options like the resolution.
But no limitation on the actual tools or feature.
This video really helped me. Thank you very much!
For premiere, davinci resolve is a better comparison, there are people switching from premiere to resolve (for reasons other than the price)
edit: it also takes the place of After effects and audition as well
Does it have enough tutorials and some built i translations?
@@RiseGameOnYT more than enough , it is a open source project , so it continuously getting better
@@sayanmandal559 Even the paid version is not that bad. Pay one time ad it's yours. Compared to Adobe Premier, which is a subscription fee. Might still be really expensive... But when you compare that price to what you'd be paying every month or year for Premier?.... And adding it up over time.... Paying almost 300 up front, just one time for a full video editing suite software is really not a bad deal at all.
Adobe after watching this video: "Where's my coat? I'm gonna take a bath..."
Beautiful man, you're the only one who could help
You got a like, a subscriber and a buzzer on from an old guy. TNice tutorials is the best soft soft tutorial I've seen so far. You covered a lot of
surprised davinci resolve wasnt pointed for premiere, it feels like the exact same thing
Not only Premiere by also After Effects and Audition.
I use some one time payment alternatives with which I’m satisfied:
Photoshop: Affinity Photo / Pixelmator Pro
Illustrator: Affinity designer
InDesign: Affinity Publisher
Premiere: Final Cut Pro
After Effects: Motion
Lightroom: Lumiere
Audition: Logic Pro
If you’re student, you can get all Mac Pro apps with a huge discount and Affinity apps are at 50% discount right now.
These are awesome alternatives ,thank you 🌟
Krita is a painting program, the photo editing part is just a bonus and for me it's not alternative to anything . It's my first choice. Because honestly, it better than soo many paid program. Maybe only surpassed by csp. If you wanted to draw some waifus.
Sir for premiere pro the apt free alternative would be Da Vinci Resolve
Only if you have beefy PC, otherwise it sucks.
And Hitman express
Hitfilm express
Also fimora9, it's the easiest!
@@skutecnyatom DaVinci still works much better than Premiere even on lower end machines
Your explaination is so clear. Thank you
This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.
I use blender and God is it so good.
Also it is a free alternative to After Effects as well
You can use blender for anything related with video and animation
@@tanmaybardia4544 Ikr.....I have literally created intro for youtube channels as well as transition slides in this.
Hi Nick, how about adding subtitles? Among all inkscape channels you are the best, so please add subtitles (at least in Russian). I think that all Russian-speaking users will be happy with such a gift ;)
Love your stuff! Big help!
Thanks for all your teachings of graphic designs. I appreciate 🙏.
Gimp, inkscape and similar are good for personal use. But even though i prefered gimp, using it in production was constant pain. Those who ever used in gimp text outline and Shadow and had to change text couple times know what i mean. And this is just an example. So if some has a small home business and dont want to pay for Adobe i would look for cheaper suites from Affinity, Corel, and single programs like Reason, ableton lite (audio) etc. But not free stuff which most of the time falls badly (at least in multimedia things). However there are some exceptions like Davinci, hitfilm or obs
I’m really surprised you missed DaVinci Resolve 16. It does video editing, compositing, 2D & 3D animation, multitrack audio processing and Colour grading all in one package. The free version only has a few limitations. It is by Black Magic Design. Even the paid studio version is reasonable and a one time purchase. It is no more difficult to learn than Premier.
Best tutorial ive evr seen bro ur d best!!!!!
This was so helpful!! Thank you
the people who disliked this is just salty because they have been paying for years
Lightworks is a protty good and simple video Editing Programm. The only Problem is that it is a big top Basic, so you have to Switch to other Programms if you want to edit things more andvanced.
Thank you! That was a great tutorial!
tried to make a simple doorsign in GIMP, but failed for over an hour despite looking up some tutorials. I just couldnt manage to draw an outline around a square selection, no matter what i did, the function always remained greyed out. switched back to Photoshop and made in in 3 minutes complete...I'd love to learn GIMP, but looks like the creators took some pretty weirdo paths to handicap their own software because people cant figure out how any of it works. ...and I am gfx veteran, used to paint and draw in Deluxe Paint on Amiga, even C64 bitmap graphics, etc.
What, where is davinci resolve 😥😥 its definitely the best preimere alternative
Lightworks is also decent
and Hitfilm
Resolve is free as in free beer, not free as in freedom.
At least I think that's how Nick was using the term "free".
Blender is a nightmare mode video editor, but it is free software, unlike resolve
Paige White ... I use Resolve and haven’t paid anything.
@@alexmomeyer9 yeah actually the free version is more than enough for me and for most of users
