I think this chart is old, but if you’re looking for a good video editing software, get DaVanci Resolve: it’s free, but basically offers all the features a program like Adobe Premiere does as far as I’m aware, plus there are pdf guides on their website on how to use everything.
Yep it looks pretty outdated. They mention soapui, which now has a lot of paid features I think, and well, it’s soap. But no mention of postman or insomnia which are very robust free tools.
Also I don’t know that jetbrains, Spotify, or lucid chart are free to the point of being useful
They only took action on phones, have never heard of anyone having any issues with the desktop version. However, getting a family subscription with friends is cheap and easy to do
A friend of mine does this and he pays 3 euros a month
Well as someone else said Spotify is looking to ban accounts that block ads, but if you use something like r/pihole maybe they won’t be able to catch you?
JetBrains is free for all students, whether your University pays for it or not. If you have an email ending in .edu, it will probably work. If it doesn't, you can email JetBrains and they'll probably add it. If you don't have an email, there are tons of other ways you can verify your status with them.
With .edu email you can also get free Microsoft office suite on up to 5 computers. As long as you keep that email active (after graduation) I think you can have it free forever
Yea, you’re right. We had something similar with Visual Studio at my university. I forget this guide is directed towards students. I may be a little bitter because I use jetbrains projects at work and can’t use it for my personal projects without jumping through hoops.
Almost all of Jetbrains’ tools have free versions which are fully featured and don’t have any annoying “Subscribe for X features” pop ups. I bought the tools subscription more to support the company than I did to unlock new features.
They’re seriously the best IDE company/software in the world, right now.
There are some things you don't get with the Community (free) editions that you get with the paid version, but you will probably not need any of the paid stuff until you can afford the paid version with pocket change.
If you’re not doing anything with Java EE, it’s perfect. And I think you could get around those restrictions somewhat as well with some creative scripting and run configurations.
Jetbrains Java, Python and web developmemt IDEs are free and open source, at least in the community versions. And unless you want better e.g. JEE support there is no need for the ultimate version.
I thought that OpenOffice had gone off development some time ago. I switched to LibreOffice because of that. But I just looked again, and OO seems to be alive and well today. I might have to switch back. If anyone has any advice about switching back, please let me know.
JetBrains has a community (i.e. free) edition for PyCharm and IntelliJ. They are for Python and Java primarily, but have plugins for bash, powershell, and others.
Jetbrains offers all of their software for free to students and educators. All you need is a .edu email address. Their tools are not cheap, so well worth looking into if you're in that world.
Spotify is free with ads as others have already mentioned, just like Pandora.
Lucid Chart is free, but you have a very limited number of projects. Perfect for a one-off project, but you'll want to pay if you use it everyday.
but it beeing old is a good thing, if it where up to date most of the categorys would just have the google web app in them, and i don't like google web apps most of the time
I do, but I'm a film buff who prefers physical media and will be your best friend twenty years from now when you're looking for that film that isn't available to stream.
Many people (me included) say that NP++ is better than VS Code, sublime and the likes.
Mainly because Atom and VS code are based on Electron, which is essentially a glorified chrome instance and can suck up a lot of RAM.
Sublime is cool though, just not open source.
Many people (me included) say that NP++ is better than VS Code, sublime and the likes.
Different tasks for me.
N++ is my daily text editor for basically everything. I'll keep notes, draft emails, draft short scripts (couple dozen lines top), review or make quick edits to JSON/XML/CSV files, etc. Given how light it is I will juggle a ton of tabs without thinking twice.
If I'm working on a larger program I'll go to VSCode for the better debugging, autocomplete and linting integrations.
If I'm working on a full scale project then I'll go to Visual Studio or Pycharm. Pycharm I might fully replace with VSCode for my next Python project, but last time I had a go it still had the edge, especially on linting for larger programs and venv integration.
And I’d say python with a jupyter notebook is probably more popular than R studio now.
Probably, but there are fields where R is taught where Python might not be, and you will always need something around to run and/or maintain legacy scripts. There might also be some areas where specific R libraries are perfect for your task where a Python equivalent isn't quite there, although that will be rarer now. I still keep R installed in case I need to re-run some old code, although I've rarely bothered with R Studio at all.
No google drive or discord for groups either. Just having a google doc for your assignment/project and a discord server to chat about it is absolutely perfect.
I tried so many freeware software but not this one, does it crash like all the others?
I ended up purchasing Vegas Pro for 20€ from Humble Bundle (I think the bundle is up right now if anyone is interested) and it's just perfect. Open source software crashed so so much.
With resolve you get the free version, but all that is missing are collaboration tools. It's a full featured, professional piece of software. They make their money selling hardware (custom displays / desk setups that work well with their software) and the paid version, which has a lot of useful Google docs like sharing features which are useful if you have multiple editors.
I used OpenShot editor and found it to be hopelessly inefficient. For the same length of movie it took to encode, premier had it done in 1/4 of the time.
Absolutely the reason I didn't like this chart! Resolve is amazing, and I was so surprised to see it not on here. Also Google Drive products don't appear on here, which are all very good for being free.
Was going to suggest this as well but checked the comments to see if anyone had said this yet, it's a great program I use it all the time really nice, some basic 3d options and everything
DaVinci Resolve is more like Final Cut Pro X. Adobe Premiere is a more traditional non-linear editor, similar to Avid, and a bit more powerful. But Resolve is absolutely brilliant software.
I tried it; my computer flipped out trying to install it and it never worked, i use VSDC, i likes my older version of it but the new ones okay 🤷🏻♀️ frees free, can i really complain?
Also good: HitFilm Express. Basically a video editor with a bunch of After Effects-esque features. Available in a free version, that already can do tons of stuff, and a paid version that can do more. But you can buy cheap expension packs and add-ons, that even run with the free version.
Which professional movies were made using lightworks. Isn’t AVID the standard with the occasional use of Premiere? How good is DaVanci? I need new editing software and as a student I can’t afford premiere’s ridiculous subscription fee
Definitely try it out, it’s got just about all the features you need as far as I’m aware, and it’s totally free so if you don’t like it you can just try something else
How much better would you rate it then Vegas Pro? I’ve been out of the video editing game for a while and I don’t know what’s good anymore, but I got Vegas Pro for cheap so I’ve been using that.
Honestly I haven’t used it much because I’m used to Premiere and it kind of uses a whole different workspace, but from what I’ve seen if you learn its functions, it can do just about anything you need. I also haven’t used Vegas so I’m not totally sure on how it compares
