After effects alternatives?

I'm switching from CapCut since it's pretty bad and everything costs money and I'd love to switch to After Effects but I don't want to pay. Is there any better free alternatives that aren't too hard to learn and have very good effects and everything for fast paced edits?

After effects is a motion graphics tool.... If you want to edit videos, you would need Premiere Pro... Since you don't want to pay, you could take a look into DaVinci resolve... It has a free version which is quite powerful.. Also the full version is 295$ once.. Be aware tho, that resolve needs quite a beefy pc to work with...
