Editing

DaVinci Resolve is a video editing application for Windows, Mac, and Linux. It has two versions, free and paid. The result is as good as Adobe Premiere.

Stock Footage

If you want to grab your viewers’ attention by adding stock footage, you can go to Pexels or Pixabay.

Content Management

Video making involves a lot of things from a general script to shooting script, shooting the actual videos, collaborating with other people, etc. And to keep a track of everything, you need something like Notion (notion.so). You can build database and templates.
