plenty of people doing motion graphics with Resolve

and now Rive is really taking the 2D world by storm

Some people may not be familiar with the fact that BlackMagic Design incorporated its motion graphics and VFX package, Fusion, into Resolve a few years ago. It's an incredibly powerful compositing package, though its node-based architecture may present a nontrivial learning curve for people accustomed to the pre-comping workflow of AE.

I'd also emphasize that node-based compositing is more suited to VFX and layer-based compositing to motion graphics.

Do you have a source for folks doing motion graphics with Resolve? Always curious to hear more data points on this. The impression I have from reading online is I'd be shocked if they had over 1% of the market, but it's purely anecdotal.

Sorry no data points, just what I've seen first hand.

Everyone around me has moved on from Premiere and Final Cut to Resolve.

AE is objectively a more powerful solution for motion graphics than Fusion. But OTOH it's super convenient to have it all in a single app and for many projects (probably most video projects) you don't need more than Fusion.

If you don't mind sharing I'd love to hear which industry you're in. What I typically hear is advertising is Premiere, Hollywood is Avid, and Resolve is taking over prosumer/smaller shops (although still AE for any remotely sophisticated motion graphics/2D work). And Nuke for VFX compositing. I've actually never heard of Fussion itself being being popular for anything actually, it seems like it's not sophisticated enough to compete with Nuke, and not a great fit for the motion graphics/2D stuff that AE excels at.

I would be shocked if Rive had even 1% of the DAU that After Effects does.

I agree but it's getting better every day and the growth has been phenomenal. Just look at the number of tutorials on youtube etc.
