ClipKit vs DaVinci Resolve
DaVinci Resolve, from Blackmagic Design, puts editing, colour correction, visual effects, motion graphics and audio post production in one application for Mac, Windows and Linux. The free version is very capable; DaVinci Resolve Studio adds the AI Neural Engine features such as smart reframing and text-based editing.
ClipKit is a free desktop app for Windows and Linux made for stream clippers: watch multiple Twitch and Kick streams at once without ads, clip the last 15 to 120 seconds in one press, and get a vertical video with word-timed captions and the streamer's facecam found by AI, in a different style for every account you post to.

Questions
- Do both work on Linux?
- Yes. DaVinci Resolve runs on Mac, Windows and Linux; ClipKit runs on Windows and Linux, with Mac coming later.
- Why use ClipKit if Resolve is free?
- Resolve is a free professional editor, but clipping a stream with it means downloading, importing, reframing and captioning by hand. ClipKit plays the stream, clips it in one press and does the layout and captions for you.
