What is Reddit's opinion of
DaVinci Resolve?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Davinci Resolve started life out as a professional color grading suite for film work, is now a free alternative to Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, etc. and shows a lot of promise.
While Lightworks is very stable on Linux compared to the open-source offerings, I personally found the interface was not terribly intuitive. I'm sure I could get used to it with time, though.
However, the free version of Blackmagic's DaVinci Resolve is also available on Linux now, which is another superb video editor, and IMO more intuitive to use for a beginner. :)
Just adding to the list.
- Professional grade e.g. used by tv/film production
- Linux / OSX / Windows support
- Free version does plenty (up to 4K)
- Competitor to Premiere
EDIT: Oops. crap formatting fixed.
Consider moving to Davinci Resolve 17 (the free version) if you're really considering sticking with filmmaking and editing. Filmora is okay, but really slow, bulky, and buggy. It might feel like a pain in the butt to move over to a new app, but it's going to give you a leg up when you need to move to a more complex piece of software in the future.
DaVinci Resolve, it's free. Just read/watch some tutorials if you're unfamiliar with that sort of software. It's a lot like Adobe's Premiere.
Serious answer though, Davinci Resolve 15 is a full non-linear editor, compositor, audio editing, and industry standard color grading suite and is completely free:
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
I've been using After Effects and Premiere for nearly a decade now but recently have started editing and compositing in just Resolve to save time.
I recommend trying it our before you "Yarr"
Edit: As /u/MelatoninKing pointed out, you do need a dedicated graphics card to use this program.
If we can get Vulkan to take off instead of DX12 gamers will switch to Linux. Gamers make a lot of videos so they will want video editing software on Linux. Blackmagic Design already has DaVinci Resolve and Fusion for Linux (and it's free for the most part).
That will cause Adobe to lose their monopoly on video production. Adobe won't be having any of that so Adobe CC will be coming to Linux. That will cause a lot of other people to switch to Linux since they don't need to keep Windows around for Adobe software. It will be a snowball effect and before you know it only grandma and businesses will use Windows.
Then, Novell/Micro Focus (apparently they got bought) makes a replacement for Windows domain in Linux and businesses start switching over. The only Windows machines that are kept around are for running legacy systems. 10 years later it's just as hard to find someone to manage a Windows machine as it is to find someone proficient in COBOL.
Microsoft will then join Intel in the crying corner while everyone is using glued together CPUs running Linux. All will be well in the world.
No clue. This was my first shot at editing a video. I just downloaded davinci resolve and watched some videos. The most helpful tutorials were how to use keyframes and the simple green screen removal.
Although i've been using Vegas for about 7 years and do recommend it there are some other options for people who wouldnt want to spend money or pirate!
I highly recommend DaVinci Resolve, which can be found here https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve which is a FREE software for editing! They also have a pay version which has got a little bit of added features, but the free one works very well.
Premiere Pro is also a fantastic software should you want to pirate, or should you want to spend a lot of money on software.
I still DO recommend Vegas, which is the program i personally use.
I don't think you did anything wrong, but as with all things, no matter how good, there are areas that can be improved.
This is only my opinion and isn't really worth much so take it for what it is worth.
Over all I think you did a great job. However, in some of the outdoor scenes the lighting was a little flat; this is due to time of day, overcast skies and light source. There are plugins and settings that can up the contrast just a bit to give it a little more dramatic feel. But this is an artistic choice and dependent on what you are trying to convey to the audience it is your decision.
Also the camera may have been on auto focus as in several scenes it looked like the camera was searching for a focal target. Generally it is best to do a manual focus and change it manually to pull in your depth of field or.... apply a blur effect in post. In this way you have more control over the scene. A free program that can help with color, lighting & depth of field focus in post https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve
But still over all you did a good job.
Unless you're a professional colorist, you don't need powerful coloring hardware. If you can run After Effects, you can certainly run the standard version of Resolve 12, which is free.
After briefly reading a few articles regarding this post, I have come to the conclusion that Fusion 7 is permanently and forever free, starting today. Fusion 7 Studio is still $995 and can only be legally obtained by purchasing it through authorized retailers. It is also worth mentioning that Blackmagic Design also offers a free lite version of another product called DaVinci Resolve, which is a high-end color correction suite designed for professional colorists.
DaVinci Resolve
- It is a professional video editing suite
- Also has visual effects program in it
- Has the best colour grading capabilities in the market and in the industry
- It is GPU optimized as well
- Nice community, and the developers clearly care about the product and constantly optimize it
- One of the most stable pro editing programs Yeah, looking at you Adobe Premiere...
- AND IT IS FREE
- The studio, paid version simply includes more industry-related features that the everyday person doesn't really need, such as 8K editing and such
You can get it here
The other programs people mentioned are fine for casual use, but if you seek professional grade software (like the ones you mentioned), you have only two choices: Lightworks and DaVinci Resolve (maybe not the last one). Both have free and paid versions.
But I gotta be honest: if you're looking to become a professional video editor, Linux is not the best choice. You will have much better software, better plugins, better drivers and better support both on Windows and Mac OS. I wish it wasn't true.
Source: worked with video editing for many years.
Or, just grab Davinci Resolve / HitFilm which is free & highly recommended, and use the money to buy something else.
Resolve 12 announced and it seems it's aiming to be a full featured editor at this point.
Nice 3D perspective tracker update for all the other colorists out there.
davinci resolve (the free version, there's a paid-for studio version too) is supposed to be good
From what I see on Reddit, and other sites this is the best alternative to Premiere Pro.
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
100+ tutorials https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyHr4tji72rUvEooOCYTJVyjIzRcJp3b0
Don't get me wrong, I love ffmpeg, but it's not always the best tool for the task at hand.
DaVinci Resolve is free. With it, you can set keyframes to zoom in and out. You can tweak all kinds of other movement as well as the speed. Unlike ffmpeg, you won't need to go through the encoding process to see what the end result will be.
DaVinci Resolve. Imaš džabe verziju, nema watermark. Odnosno nije imao dok sam ga posljednji put koristio, a to je bilo pred cca godinu dana. Eto. Probaj.
You're welcome, and thank you for posting the idea!
If you want to play with video editing a bit, I'd recommend Davinci Resolve. The basic version is free and pretty powerful, and there's tutorials on Youtube. It's what I used for this.
Then I'd definitely look into resolve. It's free, and very similar to Premiere. It's mostly known for it's color grading capabilities, but a lot of premier users are moving over for editing as well.
Another good free option is DaVinci Resolve they have a paid version as well to unlock all features. The free version is very good.
DaVinci Resolve
I recommend Premiere and After Effects as a paid option.
A very robust coloring program is available for free. Da Vinci Resolve
I'd download that and watch youtube tutorials. Not sure where you can get raw footage but I'm sure there are websites.
Check out DaVinci Resolve 12.5. Its editing tools are pretty good and are being added upon. The free version allows you to edit up to UHD video.
DON'T USE Movie Maker. It's garbage edition software. If you need something for free, download DaVinci Resolve. Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and you can DL it for free. No trial, almost no limits compared to the fully paid version. It's 100% legit.
Capped at 4K yes. But If you are cutting your Vfx reel in anything bigger, well, you probably have the $295 to burn for the studio version.
The free version disables fusion, the AI stuff and limits the number of GPUs. Unless you’re a power user, you’d never even notice the difference. resolve
This wouldn't even be hard, I could do this for a weekend project
Davinci Resolve is a video editor which has a free version that does every kind of typical stuff you'd ever need short of professional quality.
- Look up a real ISIS or Al-Qaeda video that looks good and scary (would need to find one without existing english captions)
- Add the fake captions which are a direct transcript of the NRA speech
- Throw in a logo that says "National Rifle Association" but in Arabic - الجمعية الوطنية للبنادق thanks Galphanore (had to remove the username mention)
- Maybe some more scrolling Arabic text for effect, but it says the video is fake, so anyone who speaks Arabic will know it isn't real
.
And that'd be it, putting captions on a video is super easy.
The hard part would be viral marketing, I'm no good at that sort of thing, it would need to be posted to the right places in order to catch on. I'm no good at trolling the trolls, it would need to come from somebody better with social media.
.
.
But . . . .
I'm talking about actually making fake news, I can't very much condone that, we must not sink to their level.
They pull similar shit on Fox News all the time, showing a video that looks scary but has nothing to do with what they're talking about. That's disinformation.
You should only pay money if it's:
- Adobe Premiere
- Final Cut Pro X
- Avid Media Composer
Anything else is a waste of money because Davinci Resolve is nearly as good as all 3, and it is free.
We could argue all day about which one of these three is the best, but Premiere is certainly the most common overall.
If you don't know where to start, download DaVinci Resolve. It's free and insanely powerful. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
Then watch Casey Faris on color grading: https://youtu.be/IJnMkchydrM
>cough autodesk cough adobe cough
But then there's Blackmagic.
... and of course, Blackmagic.
​
Blackmagic Davinci Resolve is one of the industry standards, and it runs on Linux. I know you said semi-pro, but the basic version without extra filters, enhanced HDR features and stereoscopic 3D conversion tools is a free download.
Davinci Resolve. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
Excellent software. You can do loads with the free version, if you need more advanced stuff, the Studio version isn’t that expensive in the grand scheme of things- and well worth it for some of the extra recovery and clean up filters.
If files can play in VLC then this might be an easy fix.
What version of Premiere your videographer is using and when was it released?
Premiere did not support XVAC until mid 2013 so there is a possibility that his version is simply outdated and that he never installed update.
Try https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ there is a free version of this software that will most definitely play XVAC without any problems, but you need fairly powerful machine in order to be able to use it.
Hope this helps.
Try davinci resolve editing program is free and so easy to use https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
work for me and is lots of video how to use the program on youtube .
Just to add on since I've been looking learning how to edit videos, yes it's really hard at first but there are countless resources to help beginners out on whichever software you end up going with to edit. Plus, there is video editing software used by many professionals that you can download for free. Some advanced features are locked behind a paywall but basic editing like clips shouldn't be at all impacted.
If an idiot like me is able to learn, anybody can!
>But recently I am starting to learn some video editing and I had to go back to Windows as there are much better video editing softwares in Windows platform.
There is some great professional video software in Linux now for people who need more than the FOSS offerings. DaVinci Resolve and Lightworks.
Check Davinci Resolve. It has a free for all platforms and way more friendly and fully featured. It only cuts down on features you are likely not going to use (multiple GPU, server support, realtime noise reduction etc.) In terms of NLE nothing is really cut down.
Blender is fine for basic sequencing and story boarding when you stay 100% in Blender (like the Blender shorts) but that's really about it.
If by alternative you mean just another free video editor then yes, there are many video editors out there that are currently for free
VSDC, Hitfilms Express, and Davinci Resolve are all free video editors that come to mind as well as many more. I personally use Davinci and love everything you can do with it.
links to the editors listed
VDSC: http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor
Hitfilms Express: https://hitfilm.com/express
Davinci Resolve: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve
Those 3 are great programs and are all free and can do 1000x more things than you could in Windows Movie Maker
Give those a try and I hope that helps answer your question :)
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve
Look for "Lite 12". It has most of the features of the full suite, and it's a professional editing suite.
If you need something easier, then iMovie may be a good choice too.
I've just started using DaVinci Resolve. I tried the free version and liked it, but I found an offer on a DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor which came with a free version of DaVinci Resolve Studio (their paid version), so you basically get it for free.
Every time they update to the next version you get that for free. There are loads of great tutorials on YouTube.
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/whatsnew
Davinci Resolve. Very powerful and has a learning curve. But stay in the EDIT page and you'll be good. Free version is very good.
Scroll down for the free version.
Sounds great! Good job ~
Here are some suggestions of mine for smoother video editors that are free to use:
Browser based editor with a lot of simple functions, has a watermark (albeit less intrusive) but also has a lot of useful assets that particularly work well with other software, like audio visualisers. (I personally use Veed for small assets, then chroma key a green screen to make them transparent and crop out the watermark in my actual editor)
I will preface by saying DaVinci Resolve is a demanding editor with a fair bit of a learning curve, especially if you’re new to video editors because it’s professional grade, it’s what filmmakers are using, BUT it’s completely free to use for the consumer grade version!
Why not use a real, full-featured video editor? There's a couple of good free ones, like DaVinci Resolve:
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
So that people don't think you're stealing people's work, some clarification would be smart. Filmora is a video editing program, and you are using the free version I assume.
My advice, don't use filmora. It's not good. You would have to buy the full version if you want to render a video without the filmora watermark.
If you want a free video editing program that won't leave a watermark, I recommend Davinci Resolve. You can get it here. The download is at the bottom. It's kinda intimidating as it is a professional grade software, but it's pretty easy to use with a little guidance.
If you want something super basic, get windows movie maker.
Download DaVinci Resolve for FREE! It has a great editing feature, the best color correction tools in the industry, and really amazing mastering features.
Check out DaVinci Resolve. It's mostly a coloring program, but plenty powerful for basic edits. The paid license is for some effects and dealing with 4K footage, but everything else is free.
If you have an NVIDIA GPU, use half-refresh V-Sync instead of setting the display to 30Hz.
This acts like your display is 30Hz so that you get good frame pacing, but sends a 60Hz signal to the display so that you don't need one which supports a 30Hz signal.
As a general tip for recording videos in future, use a tool which records game audio and mic audio to separate tracks so that you can mix the audio later.
DaVinci Resolve is a great editor that is free to use, if you need one.
If you don't want to change what tools you're using, reduce the game audio volume so that it doesn't overpower the mic, and then increase the volume of the resulting video file.
DaVinci Resolve. Free, powerful, and great for some linear video editing but mostly color grading and correction. Its what I've been teaching myself to use as I do some videography on top of my main hobby, photography.
Lite has no resolution constraints for source footage, only for output, and the output resolution constraint is now UHD (3840x2160).
Hands-down, the free official manufacturer-made training. Covers everything and (almost) every page in pretty strong detail.
Outside of that, knowing what you wanna do with Resolve is gonna be helpful - it can do everything - Media Management, Dailies, Editing, VFX, Color, Sound Design, Deliverables... just not make you coffee.
you don't name a particular piece of software so I can't respond specifically.
Blackmagic makes two keyboards that bring back the look and feel of old linear editing controllers. but compatible only with Resolve.
Avid has Dock and Control, really designed for ProTools, so audio focused, but bring something to Media Composer and apparently also Premiere.
but I have no idea if any of this gets close to what you are looking for.
I personally export video right from my DAW, FL Studio comes with a plugin called ZGameEditor Visualizer that applies 3d rendered geometry and audio visualizers, took me like an hour to learn after watching a few youtube tutorials on it. I dunno what DAW you use but if you dont have FL then you can get something like Davinci Resolve, completely free video editing software that you can also learn all through youtube and googling (https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/?gclid=CjwKCAjwvuGJBhB1EiwACU1AiUB0bNsoTfgdH8KJZY2JcPyWBW9giIFOM-86WuSrLo9EArlURZJAvRoCXHgQAvD_BwE)
Example of a song and video I put together all in FL using ZGame: https://youtu.be/grRio_M8M5s
the official training video gives you a nice solution that should work...
Managing Media from around 08:30 onwards https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training
note that the nicer way is the second, automatic one he introduces. I think it would have been better to sync the audio and video while it was still one chunk though....
DaVinci Resolve 17 is free for individual use. Resolve 17 Pro is their paid version.
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/#
You do have to register with them however to download it.
The official training words it better than I can in Fusion Visual Effects with DaVinci Resolve 16, Lesson 7. It's about removing (very similar) tracking markers from a car.
More training resources (and the practice media) are available here.
It is not clear whether your problem is picture/sound synchronization? or is it that the sound contains both "direct" sound from the call plus the "echoey" sound from the microphone picking up the speakers in the room?
Re-establishing picture/sound synchronization is relatively easy. You can do that with any video editing software. There are several good video editing applications available free. For example: DaVinci Resolve 16 When you scroll down the endless promotion stuff, at the bottom of the page there are two selections: DaVinci Resolve 16 (FREE) and DaVinci Resolve Studio 16 ($299) You can edit picture/sound synchronization just fine with the free version.
If your complaint is "echo" from the direct sound vs. the speaker/room sound, then there is no practical way of fixing that without sending it to a professional forensic sound specialist and budget for a big pile of money. Next time, experiment with the recording software settings and configure it properly for what you want.
Doesn't Zoom have its own built-in recording function? I would trust that MUCH more than any third-party recording app. I would expect that the built-in echo cancellation function of Zoom would render a clean and clear recording of the meeting.
DaVinci Resolve is free, and very powerful.
If you want the collaborative features, you need the paid-for version, but this is uncrippled.
I haven’t used it personally, but it’s very highly thought of.
This is what you want.
Da Vinci Resolve by Blackmagic. There's a free version and it's good, unlike every free editor I've used.
Adobe After Effects and Houdini have already been mentioned, but I'll mention another popular choice, DaVinci Resolve. Then there's also HitFilm.
I had been looking at https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ and https://fxhome.com/express as possible replacements but I will add Shortcut to my list as well now. Other that knowing they have free copies I haven't done much research into them.
Can always start developing them. Get a free video editor like DaVinci Resolve and start messing around.
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve
Maybe not working for ArK in the short term, but in the long term it could pan out.
Davinci Resolve 15 is free, has a better NLE than Vegas, and is one of the best color correction programs in the world. Check it out:
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
I would need to see the video scopes to see if the footage is at all salvageable.
I want to expand on video editing (including commercial ones too since OP said it's okay :)
- Blender can be used for video editing too and has pretty advanced compositor for it + you can make 3d vfx
- Da Vinci Resolve by Black Magic is for Linux too
- LightWorks
- Natron this one is only a compositor but might be worth checking out if you need one
It's a good entry level package to a suprisingly good price. If you just want to try out video editing / content creation, but I'd reccommend checking out Hitfilm and/or Davinci Resolve first, as they have free options that are pretty good (though Resolve can be a bit tricky at first).
- YouTube Video Editor (browser-based, good for getting started in editing): https://www.youtube.com/editor
- iMovie (if you have an iPhone/iPad)
- DaVinci Resolve (has learning curve, free for everything you'll probably use it for): https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve
TriDef 3D for 3D side-by-side and OBS for recording! TriDef has a free 14 day trial but is $40 for the full version. OBS is free.
Edit: Also the free version of DaVinci Resolve to flip the sides and make it crossview.
Consider DaVinci Resolve for color grading (https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve). I find it far more powerful for color grading and now with a full NLE built into it, it's giving Premiere, Final Cut, and even Avid a run for their money. If you don't like the NLE, Resolve can import/export to/from all three.
I checked out your youtube channel, great work! You might look into Davinci Resolve. Its professional color grading and basic editing software, and has a free/lite version that allows commercial use. You can learn the basics is a couple of days from youtube tutorials. It also plays well with After Effects and Premier pro. It won't help with your intro, but will make your video look more professional. Good luck!
DaVinci Resolve has a free light version that is a pretty powerful color-grading tool. For editing, I use Adobe CC. Premiere Pro is fantastic and when combined with the other applications like After Effects, Illustrator, Speed Grade, etc. you have a pretty powerful pro-level setup for the cost of a night out.
BMD's own training vids and books (all free) are excellent. Start with the Beginner's Guide: https://documents.blackmagicdesign.com/UserManuals/DaVinci-Resolve-17-Beginners-Guide.pdf
Then the Fusion VFX & Graphics training will take you deeper, lots of exercises to follow and source files to use: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training
Brute forcing Haha. That´s what I do all too often too :-)
You can get pretty far often times.
Just in case you are interested in the Learning Materials at some point, even only doing the starting chapters of the Beginner´s Guide to Davinci Resolve 17 blew my mind a few times. This Software is not done by pure software developers, but by editors. There are so many QOL features in there, those ideas can only come from people doing video editing as a profession.
Well, this will be different, since this voiceless video:
So, first thing first:
IMAGE STABILIZATION! It's a little nauseating to have the camera shake like that
Either use something that can do that in post production, or get a gyro or proper tripod that's further off.
Furthermore, a lot of your shots are off center. What you may want to do here is film in the highest resolution your camera supported, then crop/center in video editing to 1080p.
Sandblasting: you should have just cut this honestly, I can't tell what it is, or at least put a note that something went wrong.
What text prompts you use need to move. There's a concept in video editing known as the lower 3rd, which is where you don't really owant to put stuff. Basically, by having things in the lower left hand corner, you get covered by the YouTube progress bar, and closed captions while it's on.
You need to learn to color grade. Since you have no dialogue, your visuals need to carry you, and well, a lot of the colors are washed out, or wrong. If you use DaVinci Resolve, BlackMagic has a very good video on introductions of color grading: https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training
Cut your nails, or at least clean them. This really might sound pendatic, but you're putting the entire focus on your hands and what you're working on, and honestly, looks matter if you'r egoing to focus on the visual elements entirely.
Thumbnail seems OK, but the title isn't. Might be better off with something like "Making a Custom GMC Wrecker Model in a Day".
OP editing software is free here, he can literally upload and edit ✍️ it in less than a minute. There isn’t any excuse why he shouldn’t learn on his own. He clearly has all the time in the world to learn a new skill, it doesn’t make sense why he makes excuses that he can’t because he needs to make more videos. You friend can literally watch YouTube vids and tutorials on how to make a good video. It doesn’t make any sense that he lacks judgment on this, it all there and it’s free.
Thank you for the feedback! I am not a very great video editor but I use Davinci Resolve and it's pretty simple and more importantly Free! I hope you enjoy the demo!
Persoenlich empfehle ich immer Davinci Resolve zum editieren. Kostenlose Version hat kein Watermark und erlaubt Exporte bis zu 4k. Sehr maechtiges Werkzeug, das teils in Hollywood zum Einsatz kommt:
https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
Die Kenntnisse von Vegas lassen sich da teils übertragen.
Die Kita Stelle klingt nicht übel. Bei sowas steht dann meist auch eher weniger Geld im Vordergrund als in der Wirtschaft.
I export all my video into my computer, edit in adobe premiere and then export to a suitable you tube standard.
​
If you want a free option I hear great things about davinci resolve.
DaVinci Resolve if your PC can run it, it's pretty resource intensive, but very powerful. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/
There is no "best." Avid and Premiere are just tools, that's like sying "what paintbrush is the best?" Both do about 90% of the same stuff, though in slightly different ways, ways that only the person doing the editing will notice.
The better question is which software is used more in the market segment you want to get into? In the TV/film industry, Avid Media Composer is still the go-to, but independent producers are digging into Premiere because it can be faster for small projects, and the Creative Cloud membership gets them VFX tools like After Effects, and even a DAW in Audition, which allows them to offer more services with less subcontracting. DaVinci Resolve is also making a lot of inroads because of how functional it is, and how cheap it is.
Basically just know how to use the tool, what you do with it is more important.
I'm currently making the switch from Premiere to Da Vinci Resolve. It's definitely a little clunkier, but it does most of the same stuff, and you can't beat the price.
For creatives currently paying $600+ per year, here's some better and cheaper options to creative cloud applications:
Yeah, it's unbelievably functional for free. And if you're looking to replace Premiere, their DaVinci Resolve editor is starting to get good too. It is also available in free and Studio versions, and Resolve 15 Beta has Fusion built in.
You should absolutely find something, anything other than WMM to make YouTube videos. If you need a free option, BlackMagicDesign offers a free edition of their DaVinci Resolve software. Another one I've heard of (but haven't used) is HitFilm Express.
In either case, finding a video workflow is something that you will need to work on yourself, but you can find lots of YouTube tutorials out there.
Man it seems like this question gets asked like once a week. So I will just copy and paste my response I gave last time. If none of these work for you, google "best free video editing software" and it should give you some more options :)
There are many video editors out there that are currently for free
VSDC, Hitfilms Express, and Davinci Resolve are all free video editors that come to mind as well as many more. I personally used Davinci and loved everything you could do with it.

There are quite a few "basic" free tools, but I'd recommend going all the way to DaVinci Resolve. It's free tier is just a few tools short of the studio tier.
Great camera! I have the same and I love it! The only advice I have other than what has already been said is to make sure you do some color correction to make the video look even better. Davinci Resolve is normally a $1,000 program but they have a free version that does 95% of what a casual user would want. This is a no-shit professional-level program that can make amazing looking videos. There's definitely a learning curve but there are plenty of tutorials on YouTube and whatnot that can help you out. I'm dumb as fuck and I made some really good looking videos based on maybe 3 hours of tutorials. It's absolutely doable.
Well, there's Krita, for image editing, though it leans towards illustration.
Gimp is okay, it has some issues that some people find unacceptable, I don't really understand those issues myself.
You ought to try both as a replacement for photoshop.
I don't know much about premier pro, but you do have a few alternatives.
First, KDenLive, which is meant to replace it.
Second, is Blender, which isn't meant to but can handle it despite being a 3d editor. It is limited because it's a 3d modeling and rendering program.
You can do a huge amount of stuff using ffmpeg, but that would require you being able to put together a pipeline in it, which isn't terribly easy, given that it doesn't come with many of the sort of filters and tools you'd want, but it can definitely handle concatenating and splitting video files.
But again, that would be difficult, though I imagine it'd probably be pretty awesome.
There are, however, also some fairly professional looking commercial video editors for linux, like Cinelerra, LightWorks, and Da Vinci Resolve.
Da Vinci Resolve comes in a free version, which is definitely worth looking into.
Been a pro video editor for 10 years and I can confirm that Resolve is the best you're going to find for free. I'd even rank it above some paid options like Vegas, but just below Premiere, Avid, and FCPX as far as editing work goes. It is by far the best for color grading since that is what the software was originally designed for.
So unless you're looking for something more simple, or have the money to blow on any of the top three (note: FCPX is Mac only though), Resolve is a no-brainer.
I'd recommend something capable of decent color grading. The free version of DaVinci Resolve (by Blackmagic design) is great and is actually a nice editor too. It's available for Windows and Mac.

About two weeks ago, I searched reddit, google and other various sources for a video editing program. I came across all the usual open source and free ones. I looked at:
Lighworks, ezvid, avidemux, and virtualdub. Just to name a few. I tired lightworks, it was okay but crashed. I was kind of put off because they want info before download. But man, that program is pretty nice when it comes to just about everything. The free version should be more than enough. Lots of youtube videos and plenty of options. Note: You will not be able to work with .AVI media. Export options are mostly .mov format.
Hope this helps!
You can try DaVinci Resolve (not the studio version as it's not free). Technically it started off as a color adjustment tool but its video editing step is vastly superior to Windows Live Movie Maker.
Other than that, I recommend you check out this post on /r/videoediting.
DaVinci Resolve Lite is your best bet (and free). Load up your clip and adjust your RGB-levels with the RGB mixer, if you shot on incandescent settings in daylight, reduce blue and compensate loss of brightness by increasing red and green until you find a liveable compromise. You can also adjust general brightness (and tint, if so inclined) be fiddling with the wheels and the sliders below them, start with the centre one, and adjust shadows and highlights as needed.
As /u/velo_b stated above, the latitude of the material is probably very limited, but if the footage is properly exposed there should be some room for improvement.
I used to use VSDC a long, long time ago, and I don't think I would recommend it. There are so many other, better video editing programs for free.
Black Magic's DaVinci Resolve is a great one. For almost everything you'd be doing, it will work great and not have any watermarks. It is a paid program, but the free version has everything you need and then some. It was originally designed for color grading but it has some nice editing tools and an easy interface to learn. I haven't messed with it much personally, but I have heard nothing but great things about it from many, many people.
Another, although a little quirky at times, would be FXHome's HitFilm Express. I use this most of the time, since it's inspired by Adobe Premiere and is pretty similar in design. It takes some getting used to but it has lots of potential for editing, sound, effects, and more. It comes with a good range of effects and filters to play around with, too. HitFilm Express is the free version of HitFilm Pro and you can buy add-ons for it or upgrade if you so choose later on.
I hope these point you in the right direction. VSDC isn't a terrible option, but I'd highly recommend picking one a little better.
The 3d rotating view thing seems to be powered by something called ThreeKit. It's probably achievable through html/css, but a web development sub is probably a better place to ask.
As for the video, there are many producers out there, shouldn't be hard to find one. As for software DaVinci Resolve is my go to, this could probably be done in the free version.
For 3d tracking like that in Fusion you need the "Camera Tracker" node. I think it's only in the studio version tho.
There's a tutorial on how to use it in the Visual Effects Guide training.
Moar Memory, Moar CPU, Moar Good. Especially when doing heavy things like video editing. So I'd take that new system under consideration.
The i7-4900M can even do 32GB of memory, but w/o the product number of the notebook it's impossible to tell if it can do it, too.
And when it comes to video editing, maybe have a look at this:
Davinci Resolve is a free, and fantastic video editing software.
What I would do is exit you audio as normal. Once you have your final project, render it out as a single file. Use Resolve to bring in the final single file audio. Grab an image of your podcast logo, and drag it to the ends of the audio file. You can then export the whole project to a YouTube friendly format. Uploead that file to YouTube, and you should be good to go.
You can go deeper, and add your own subtitles, maybe helpful graphics on what you are talking about, or make highlights of an episode. Program is pretty powerful, and is used in a lot of video production professionally.

If you're on Intel mac, export an AAF.
If you're on M1 mac, you're in for a tougher time - AAF export (and import) is not currently possible in the M1 version of Premiere.
Instead you'll need to export an FCP7 XML from Premiere, then convert that to an FCPXML file (Resolve can do it, there are some standalone tools that can do it too.)
In both cases you'll need to reverse the steps (or export a mixdown) to get the audio back into Premiere.
Not the same but on the topic of stock... I was looking at the Medi-Cal webpage here and saw a familiar face.
