I’ll suggest Shotcut. Shotcut is a free video editor program, it’s a bit difficult, but it’s fast and it has many effects to add. Shotcut link

The video editor by BlackMagic, DaVinci Resolve has a free version if you’re willing to sacrifice hardware acceleration, 4k 60fps limit and some other banging features (https://www.toolfarm.com/tutorial/in-depth-davinci-resolve-studio-vs-the-free-version/)
DaVinci Resolve 18 | Blackmagic Design

For sound editing and DAWs, you can use Reaper’s trial version, which has no limitations, for all of eternity…if you can handle waiting 5 seconds every time you open the software. REAPER | Download

For compositing, you can use DaVinci Fusion which is included with DaVinci Resolve, instead of Adobe AfterEffects. DaVinci Resolve 18 | Blackmagic Design

For audio I also recommend the free trial of FL studio, you cant load saved projects, but you can get past that by either just not closing the app, get it done in one go, or send it to another person with the paid version, let them save it, then send it back, will work fine. Somewhat hard to get into though, and really cheap if you want to start off, starts at $99 USD, and then 200$ USD for the cool version.

Yea, I see, but until they made it official the resource still free. Thanks for the info anyways!

I use repl.it for off-site coding (doesn’t have roblox services but if I need to test stuff off-site repl is what I would use.)

I would recommend Kenshape for modeling since you can model some basic props quite fast.

Are there any others? Because they are all good but I’m sure there are more out there that are also useful for developers.
