DaVinci Resolve is eating their lunch in cinematography, nobody cares about Premiere or AfterEffects anymore.

Video editing isn't even remotely their strongest presence. Photoshop, illustrator, indesign, substance painter, lightroom, acrobat... I mean come on now. Just because something is irrelevant to you doesn't mean it's generally irrelevant. Even within video editing, Resolve's capability and amazing free-tier functionality doesn't render Adobe irrelevant by any reasonable estimation. You either need to grab a dictionary and look up 'relevance,' get a better understanding of how superlatives work, or briefly peek outside of your own software usage before making sweeping declarations about pan-industry practices.

Photoshop will be eaten by generative AI in the next few years. Lightroom is still the best, Illustrator is in a duopoly with CorelDRAW. I used to be a pro photo/cinematographer and I can replace most of my Photoshop needs with stable diffusion + ControlNet + ClipSeg. DaVinci with plugins made After Effect irrelevant for my needs as well. Certainly Adobe still has momentum but their future after they switched from engineering/art company to rentier monopoly company doesn't look that rosy.

Are you serious? After Effects can still do a ton that DaVinci cannot. It's awesome that Resolve exists for sure but Adobe is still by far the industry standard.

There are plugins for DaVinci that can obliterate the need to ever touch AE though it's not out of the box.
