      Blender vs Apple Motion opinions
      Some users think Blender is a great alternative to Apple Motion, some don't.
      foomonkey42 Blender is great, but it is no where near a tool oriented for creating motion graphics for video production. Yes, it can generate animation, but it isnt designed to fit into a NLE workflow.
