DaVinci Resolve

DaVinci Resolve (by Blackmagic Design) is a Hollywood-grade editing suite that’s also, remarkably, free — editing, color grading, audio, and effects in one app, with no watermark or time limit on the free version. For a streamer cutting VODs into highlights or building a YouTube channel it’s serious overkill in the best way: the learning curve is steeper than consumer editors, but you won’t outgrow it. A one-time-purchase Studio version adds higher-end features and better hardware acceleration, though most creators never need to leave the free tier.
