Alternative: After Effects - [AviUtl]

Adobe App

After Effects

Alternative App

AviUtl

Alternative App Link

http://spring-fragrance.mints.ne.jp/aviutl/

Alternative App Pricing

Free

Open Source

Reason

AviUtl is a Japanese software known for being capable of almost everything with community-made custom scripts. It turned an editing software from a primitive one to a powerful maching. However there are some disadvantages: it is a 32-bit application, and you're required to add this plugin and that plugin and this script and so on. Luckily there are custom builds and even a English translation of the software (https://twitter.com/AviUtlTranslate). There is a community server to check out for both Japanese and English users. https://top.gg/servers/419392772966187018

In relation to the community there's also a Japanese website dedicated to AviUtl guides.

Additional Comments

AviUtl is possibly even a Premiere alternative.

Alternative: Dreamweaver - [VSCodium]

Alternative App

VSCodium

Alternative App Link

https://vscodium.com

Alternative App Pricing

Free

Open Source

Yes

Reason

VSCodium is a fork of VSCode without the telemetry, branding, licensing that comes with it.

From the website:

Why Does This Exist?

Microsoft’s vscode source code is open source (MIT-licensed), but the product available for download (Visual Studio Code) is licensed under this not-FLOSS license and contains telemetry/tracking. According to this comment from a Visual Studio Code maintainer:

When we [Microsoft] build Visual Studio Code, we do exactly this. We clone the vscode repository, we lay down a customized product.json that has Microsoft specific functionality (telemetry, gallery, logo, etc.), and then produce a build that we release under our license.

When you clone and build from the vscode repo, none of these endpoints are configured in the default product.json. Therefore, you generate a “clean” build, without the Microsoft customizations, which is by default licensed under the MIT license

The VSCodium project exists so that you don’t have to download+build from source. This project includes special build scripts that clone Microsoft’s vscode repo, run the build commands, and upload the resulting binaries for you to GitHub releases. These binaries are licensed under the MIT license. Telemetry is disabled.

If you want to build from source yourself, head over to Microsoft’s vscode repo and follow their instructions. VSCodium exists to make it easier to get the latest version of MIT-licensed VSCode.

You can build from sources to legally get it free(as in price), or download from repositories if you're using GNU/Linux. However i recommend paying for it and supporting developers.
