To any artists out there wondering what else they could use. These are some pretty decent alternatives.

Check these foss tools out:

Darktable is way to hard for me to use.

Just switched to krita recently for drawing and it’s so great, the setup is pretty much like photoshop, with all the tool i ever needed.

I don’t even know why i bothered using photoshop to begin with.

And yeah blender is the OG of 3D.

Does Krita have actions, macros, scripting, or perhaps batch commands?

I never used that, depend on what you want to do but i don’t think there is a good builded in way…

So i guess you can look for some other macro tools or using a python script.

Kdenlive is miles more capable than OpenShot Also Kubuntu? That’s a OS? Works if you’re trying to replace windows but don’t think any artist would replace it as a “alternative tool”

The one and only time I tried to use kdenlive, it blackscreened my PC and when I booted back up, my Linux Mint showed in the boot menu as just Ubuntu. I went right back to Openshot.

Fwiw, I’ve tried to use OpenShot and it sucked hard. Granted, this was on Windows and it was several years ago (3~4yrs), so it may have gotten better (or it might be way better on Linux), but I ended up switching to davinci resolve because OpenShot literally couldn’t deal with anything above 720p without crashing. I couldn’t complete any university assignments with it. Even just clipping the ends of a video was causing it to crash. Unless OpenShot has gotten significantly better on windows, that’s a good example of a place where a pro-quality FOSS alternative doesn’t really exist.

Kdenlive is a thing. Honestly though using DaVinci is fine, it’s even Linux native.

Oh that’s interesting. I wonder if its any better now for you if you’re interested in trying. It could have been a codec + windows issue at play too.

There’s a few other alternatives for that tool but I can’t think of their names atm.
