What's the best video editor for nonprofits on a tight budget?

Nonprofits are usually stretching a marketing budget of close to zero, so the honest answer is a free tool that doesn't quietly bill you later: EseCut's free tier exports full 1080p with no watermark, which matters because a donor-facing appeal video with a third-party logo stamped on it undercuts the ask.

The common use case — a 90-second year-end appeal or event recap cut from volunteer-shot footage — needs captions (most people watch fundraising videos muted on social), simple text overlays for impact numbers, and background music, all of which are included free rather than gated behind a nonprofit-tier upsell.

• Watermark-free exports so donor-facing videos look fully professional
• Auto captions for appeal videos watched muted on Facebook and Instagram
• No subscription — the whole budget can go to the mission, not software
• Combine volunteer phone footage with logos, text, and music in one timeline
