DaVinci_Resolve_17.4.6_Windows.zip is probably great but ... 2.5 GB! I was looking for something more lightweight, but still a good idea, I'll have a look. I also tried mebm months ago, but it's not really mature. (Is there a version hosted somewhere? the domain mebm.xyz is no longer available)

hey I wrote that second one! It's incredibly flattering to see mebm recommended despite its relatively immature state. I've been considering resuming work on it, and this comment certainly provides a ton of motivation. thanks!

I am a former film post production professional. Resolve is the thing I recommend to people nowadays. It's free plan is still permissive enough to get really professional looking results and the color processing and quality is as good as it gets. And it runs in Linux as well (the original color grading consoles this was developed for were running Linux). Of course the main issue with that recommendation is that Davinci Resolve is geared towards professionals. That means the tool can do much more things than any amateur will ever need or understand. If you invest a little time to understand the basics and don't tend to click random things without knowing what they do, this should not be any issue at all. Resolve has a very clear workflow and you can always skip the parts you don't need (e.g. color correction, audio mixing). The real advantage here is that if you learn it, there is no ceiling to how professional your results can get in terms of post production. But don't forget the golden rule: Shit in, Shit out Post production is great, but recording images and audio in a good way makes or breaks quality.

  Did your post-production career involve CGI and VFX?

    Yes, mostly for cinema and advertising tho. I used (and still use) Blender for nearly everything.

      How long were you in the profession? What other software were you using aside from Blender?
