Allavio vs ProductionCrate

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.

ProductionCrate is a library and toolset for VFX artists, creators, filmmakers, and motion designers. Its resources include visual effects footage, 3D models, royalty-free music, and plugins; the service says it hosts over 10,000 custom-made HD production resources. Free accounts can use basic libraries and download up to five items per day. PRO provides access to all libraries, higher-quality downloads, three times as much exclusive content, and faster CDN downloads. The PRO plan costs $49 a month and allows up to 50 downloads per day. FootageCrate materials are available in ProRes, MP4, and PNG sequences for import into Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Nuke, and After Effects; the homepage describes video encoding up to 4K. ProductionCrate Portal installs, manages, and updates plugins, and includes an asset manager for downloaded media. FootageCrate Blender connects assets to Blender through a web link. Downloaded materials may be used in commercial or non-commercial projects, but the asset files themselves cannot be redistributed.
