Free & Discounted Resources During Covid-19

[chris f]

A lot of companies are stepping up to the plate and offering free or greatly discounted resources during this time of staying at home. I've been compiling a list of what I've found so far and am hoping others can add to this list.

All of you poor people who are self subjecting yourselves to the masochistic abuse known as Adobe Premiere really owe it to yourself to at least try it ;-)

I’m giving myself these next free 60 days of Premiere as my last days before jumping ship. Kicking the tires on Resolve first and then FCP if Resolve won’t do it for me.

I can see the appeal of FCPX for those that do the whole process themselves.


Resolve doesn’t feel like a great editing program, but is nice if you like to have the ultimate control over the color grade. Despite myself, i still enjoy PPCC when colaborating with AE artists. And Photoshop is so integral to all digital media.

What are your reasons switching? I don’t editing anymore, so i like Davinci for making LUT’s and analyzing footage.

As soon as Apple makes FCP X for Windows I'll give it a try.

Not once you switch to Affinity products.
Totally concur with PD's comments above ^. And I was PP user going back to 1.5 version. AE might be the only program I slightly miss... but Fusion, Motion, etc has filled that void as well.
