Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Correct me if I am wrong but DaVinci Resolve is not really free software, right? It is just free to use proprietary software. Freemium or some such

Calling that Free Software was a bit of a poor choice by the author of this graphic

Yes it's freemium, but it's very usable for free. I'd estimate 95% of non professional users don't care for the difference between free and paid. Also if you want to pay it's a perpetual license for the current version, not a subscription like increasingly common.

It's competitive with Adobe in terms of features and usability UX/UI, perhaps even better than Adobe in some parts.

It's probably the best choice if you want to do video, movie maker and the like are to weak for your use case, and your not an ffmpeg magician. Because you can download it for free and get used to it quickly, and it can likely do everything you want for free. Except GPU rendering.

I believe that it is free for non-commercial purposes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But that doesn't make it free software. Free software is free as in freedpm, not free as in price.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, it's free to me, but whatever...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yes, but that is not what free software means.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Feel free to define it any way you want, but if I am permitted to download it and use it without payment, it's free, my man.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm not just making up a definition here. It is a well established definion.

Word you are looking for is freeware or freemium.

No doubt you are correct in a technical sense, but to a ordinary man in the street, free be free.
