The Verdict
Pulumi is built for developers and platform engineers, with a focus on programming-languages and multi-cloud. VN Video Editor targets budget creators and mobile editors and leads with multi-track-timeline and keyframe-animation.

Both offer free plans, so you can test each with your real workflow before committing to a subscription.
