RipClip vs DaVinci Resolve
In short: DaVinci Resolve is a professional editor with a capable free version and a $295 one-time Studio licence, known for colour grading, effects and audio; it runs on Mac, Windows and Linux. RipClip does the part Resolve leaves to you: it reads a Kick or Twitch VOD from its link, finds the moments that stand on their own and cuts them into captioned vertical clips, then schedules them. Choose Resolve for full professional finishing; choose RipClip to get clips out of streams fast.
