6 alternatives to DaVinci Resolve

  1. Short-form editing should not need a pro suite. Captions, templates and effects built for vertical video.

    Pick CapCut if you make vertical video.

  2. Cutting filler words by hand eats your night. Edit audio and video by editing the transcript.

    Pick Descript if you would rather edit the transcript than the timeline.

  3. Repeating the same cut by hand is slow. Script cuts, crops and exports from the command line.

    Pick FFmpeg if you repeat the same cut or export again and again.

  4. Team edits get lost in email threads. A browser editor with shared projects and templates.

    Pick Remotion if you want to render motion graphics in bulk with code.
