for everyone who wants to do simple position/scale/rotation animations for elements in the edit-timeline, i would recommend to go to the color tab and use the dynamic keyframes. it has a curve-editor that actually works. generators like text cannot be transferred to the color page (i think), but you could first make a compound clip in that occasion. still not ideal and very basic, i had a hard time making a ''bounce''-effect, but for more advanced animations i would eventually still recommend fusion or other apps..
i made a few cool things already with it, hope it helps.
i hope that in the future more functions could share across the different pages. this could help get rid of all these complaints. almost every single function that can be useful for an editor is present in resolve, just not in the best way, yet. I mean, why develop further the current keyframe-system in the edit page, when you have a super-powerful spline editor already sitting there in the fusion page? if it's user-interface-simplicity, i would say make a very small button ''reveal super-powerful spline editor'' It's probably not that simple, but theoretically speaking.
i could see the fusion page merging with the color page. imagine an implementation of the spline-editor from fusion to the color page (or maybe the edit?), together with the same generators as in the edit page, like text. you can have such an improvement for so many workflows. When the implementation of fusion was announced i almost wet my pants, so excited. but nowadays i keep avoiding it as much as i can, with the color page as my first escape. also for greenscreening and animations, ironically.
i share the frustration, that there is a ''neural engine'', face recognition, boring detector, while many basic functions are far from polished. it is just not sexy to advertise with ''polished basic functions''.
but bmd would surely benefit from a 'perfect' resolve. If stuff like this never get fixed, it will get a reputation and people will walk away. So i bet resolve as it is now is far from finished.
eventually i'm always able to produce cool stuff, which is the most important i guess. maybe we are all spoiled.. but it's never wrong to think of how things can be improved i guess.
