If you were looking for batch image processing software, there is an amazing add-on for #GIMP, called BIMP:

It allows you to use a lot of GIMP tools on multiple images. Unfortunately, it's limited to 32-bits somewhy, so the performance isn't perfect. But results are amazing!

Just in case you were looking for video editing software, DaVinci Resolve 20 got actually usable, even the free version — it's now fast, mostly reliable, and simplified enough to be good for YouTube edits.

And no, I could not recommend 18 and previous versions, since they were not accelerated well, created huge proxy files, and so on. Now the paid tier is a must for several extra features, like denoiser and collaborative workflows.

But even free version now can run almost any reasonable codec without proxies, can do tons of effects on a consumer-grade card without any lags, and so on. I still hate hotkeys, there are obvious usability bugs, but overall, it's a huge step forward (at least on Windows).

A useful batch-processing plugin for GIMP 3 (since BIMP is limited to GIMP 2.x): it can do tons of stuff on folders and file queues and runs very fast, since it's relying on GIMP acceleration.

The script can be as complex as you dare to make it, like running certain actions on certain layers, like "blur on current layer".
