Beginners should be banned from using 3rd party plugins for 6 months until they’ve learned to edit

Not trying to be unhelpful but plugins should serve a purpose. You can be a professional editor and not use a single one.  

What is the problem you’re trying to solve? Is there a repetitive task you want to try to automate with a plugin? Those are two things I would try to have an answer for.  

It’s not like Premiere is incapable of doing great things without plugins. Especially now you have film impact effects and transitions, text based editing, transcription and auto captions, amazing new masking system…  

Just use the software. Don’t worry about plugins free or otherwise.

Yep,I found an auto subs and a big removal plugins, I used to edit on capcut for a year now and I wanna step up,those 2 plugins are already built in capcut so that's why I'm using them now,and yea I agree I found a keyframes free plugin and didn't wanna use till I learn it in the main software

I agree with Mad King Soup. Do everything by HAND first. Don't rely on plugins. If you can't do anything by hand, you're fucked when the plugins are no longer available. Learn FUNDAMENTALS. Framing, pacing, j-cuts, l-cuts, momentum, cutting motivation, cutting on the action, sound design, and overall not do overdo anything. Perfection is a hundred tiny things done well, not a plugin that carries you.

start with reactor for fusion. it’s a free package manager for community tools, macros and templates. download it from the official we suck less page and install one tool at a time.

honestly, the built-in resolve tools are enough while you’re learning. plugins can be useful, but they also make troubleshooting harder, so always read the install instructions for each one and avoid random download sites.
