HitFilm Pro

HitFilm Pro is a unique hybrid tool combining professional-level video editing with advanced visual effects and compositing capabilities, all in a single application. It features a built-in particle simulator, 3D model import, and a vast array of VFX tools that rival dedicated compositing software. Available via one-time purchase. It ranks highly for indie filmmakers, YouTubers creating VFX-heavy content, and artists who want to edit and composite without switching apps.

Its strength lies in its all-in-one approach to compositing, though its pure editing workflow may not be as refined as dedicated NLEs.
