Design platform Canva recently announced the dual acquisition of motion and animation software company Cavalry, alongside AI video generator company MangoAI. With the development of its AI and professional creative suite, Canva's latest acquisitions further expand its fast-evolving platform, making it a serious contender against the industry's best graphic design software.
While the acquisitions will undoubtedly create some shockwaves among creatives, they mark an uncertain but exciting shift in the world of motion design. With Cavalry's strong reputation among professionals, the Canva acquisition brings the hope of increased accessibility and automation, further challenging the future of top dog, Adobe.
