Allavio vs Mixkit

Allavio makes customizable templates for video editing in DaVinci Resolve. Its catalog includes titles, transitions, effects, infographics, openers, overlays, social media assets, tools, and video displays. Most templates allow changes to text, fonts, colors, animation, shadows, and glows, and editable source files are available. Templates are made using Blackmagic Design’s Fusion software. Most are DRFX files installed with a double-click; Text Animator instead requires the free Allavio Hub desktop app and DaVinci Resolve 19 or above on macOS or Windows. The free catalog includes a sample with 10 motion graphic titles and a Highlighter Effect, both listed at $0.00. Individual templates are listed at $14.99 USD once. A commercial license is available, and listed resolutions are HD and 4K. Allavio supports macOS, Windows, and web. It says it offers personalized support, including one-on-one video calls and tutorials, for free and paid products.

Mixkit is a free web library of digital items for creative projects, including stock video, music, sound effects, templates, and digital art. Its stock video includes HD and 4K footage, vertical clips, and no watermark. Music tracks are offered for video projects, podcasts, and online advertising, with unlimited downloads and no attribution or sign-up required. The library also includes sound effects and video templates for Premiere Pro, After Effects, Final Cut Pro, and DaVinci Resolve. Mixkit says Premiere Pro templates require the latest Adobe Premiere Pro; After Effects is not needed to open its Mogrts or project files. License terms vary by item type. For stock video, the Restricted License is for non-commercial projects, while the Free License permits commercial use. Mixkit says items covered by its Free License can be used in commercial and non-commercial projects. Downloading grants a non-exclusive license to use an item, not ownership. The terms also prohibit scripts or bots from mass-downloading items or scraping the library.
