Andrei, you are right. I religiously stick to open source software. Partly because I'm 100% on Linux where most of the available software is open source. A very good alternative for Photoshop is Gimp. With that I have never needed someting like Photoshop. It works on all operating systems so a description of a function is beneficial to users independent of what OS they use. And concerning open source, I "pay back" a little with the dodecagon.nl site where I have put everything available in the public domain.

OpenShot and Flowblade are open source video editors that are very easy for beginners but I have no experience with them. Openshot depends on Blender and the versions of both have to be kept in sync. Since I already use Blender in addition to Sweet Home 3D for model creation that's no problem. Flowblade is only available for Linux and avaialable in most repositories (Openshot is also in most Linux repositories).
Shotcut is a kind of advanced version of OpenShot. Much steeper learning curve but it does support 4K video creation. And there are lots of video tutorials for it.

(If you want I can compile your partial explanations when they appear into a manual.)
