All these amazing A.i. features and its still a daunting task to create a countdown animation in After Effects :D

[@timz9862]

I’m still waiting for them to add a feature that many designers have been asking for for 7 years: being able to create animated gifs on artboards in Photoshop. Express is too limited even compared to Canva. Also, man, those speakers are SUPER annoying to listen to!

[@pascalkrebs8291]

Have you ever tried to add a table of contents in InDesign? Landing a Boeing 747 with all engines on fire is a piece of cake in comparison.

[@DonTNguyen]

Ai please make a text layer, then pick whip the source text to an expression control then animate that expression control countdown from 10-0, then apply a Math.round onto the expression control get rid of the decimals please.

[@michaelhull7307]

Or loop something in After Effects without googling a custom expression code, or simply do ANYTHING in that program without it being an absolute nightmare.

[@daltonoHive]

Thanks for taking the time to edit this video. Saved me a lot of valuable time.

[@cadmus777]

This video was timed perfectly to how long it took to update to all the new versions. Awesome work, thank you!

[@AppDesignTips]

My pleasure!

[@provinzGFX]

congratulations from germany to your internet-connection-speed :/

[@SimonOstergaard]

Thanks! Awesome with a boiled down version. Great job!

[@fredthomson2384]

Technology is getting so amazing we humans don’t have to do anything! I feel so fulfilled.

[@davelivingplastic]

I feel the same. Once upon a time we'd see the art in this video and feel inspired to learn the techniques to make them. That's been replaced by a sort of apathy now.

[@yamazaru8236]

Thanks for that video, saved me the hassle of watching it all (would have not suffered through that presentation) That said, a lot of cool new stuff, that might really save some time for creative work instead of being lame gimmicks. Illustrator and Premiere looking great. Wondering how the XD posting to socials will work, with Meta constantly having dumb updates though

[@kushaanShakiya]

Are these all features available right now?

[@seanivore]

Ugh I need Lightroom to tag by mood and emotion

[@ebaqdesign]

Great summary - thanks for sharing!

[@AppDesignTips]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@polystormstudio]

I'm not getting the same contextual menu bar, it's shorter with less options

[@rowanstainsby]

Thanks for putting this one together man! 😍

[@andrearusky]

No updates/news about After Effects?

[@AppDesignTips]

They said a sentence or two about after effects. I may have missed it while editing but it wasn't highlighted like the others.

[@ukmonk]

It isn’t over yet is it? Isn’t there 2 days?

[@ciaranoc]

New version of Rotobrush is out of Beta and in the official release, it’s much faster.

[@ukmonk]

@@ciaranoc awesome! Thank you so much!

[@wodan74]

Lol, your email notification sounds tricked me

[@AppDesignTips]

Yeah. That’s as pranky as I get 🤣

[@blackout1111]

Can’t wait for something I end up using

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

Thanks for this .. I was there but might’ve been slightly hungover and only half awake. :P

[@ksup_ca]

7:20 onwards is epic, "being a mother... Check it check it". Still, great job and holding it down! 👌🏿👍🏿"Check it out." And, nothing in After Effects?!

[@wakingstate9]

Everyone seems to love AI without realising it's coming for your job next.

[@AppDesignTips]

I think the more excited you are for it and the more you try to leverage the further back in line it is for taking your job :)

[@wakingstate9]

@@AppDesignTips I don't think it's something to get excited about. It has too many ramifications for misuse. I will obviously have to use some features or as you say I'll be out of a job. This doesn't bode well with the notion of AI being one of the greatest threats we face and it's companies like Adobe who are making iit seem all warm and fluffy that is going to hasten our dissconection with the physical based reality we rely on to have meaningful connectins with eachother. No good ever comes getting excited about things that dissconnect us from the basics. In my opinion of course. I like your thumbnails though!

[@grittygirlgraphics8633]

Absolutely brilliant video...thank you!

[@ancientbohemian]

the illustrator new features alone want me to buy Adobe subscription and start doing graphic design. again :) well. done

[@marnix1]

Great video thank you so much.

[@AppDesignTips]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@danielashton7024]

Great vid!

[@provinzGFX]

thanks for saving me a lot of time .

[@davelivingplastic]

Miles Dyson would have presented his work on the stage at "CyberDyne Con" and they would have applauded him.

[@xcx23cwea65]

So basically AI integration. It's game over, the days of manually designing using your human creativity and touch is over. Graphic design and art colleges has become absolute. Everyone can be artist now. 🎉 Congratulations 👏👏

[@megatronreaction]

you mean obsolete?

[@MoreCreativeGFX]

Great information

[@welsewool]

incredible bunch of useful stuff

[@kkwarrior3004]

Adobe Best Team, Please add Urdu Language which is missing since decades .... I hope this is not a big deal for Adobe Master peoples.....

[@DANNYBLVCK]

The problem is you can’t do this on an iPad nobody wants to carry a laptop anymore

[@AppDesignTips]

Do what?

[@KikoNYC]

Creative control? How? The AI does everything for you!

[@AppDesignTips]

Creative control = ability to use Firefly for 1% of your project or 100% of your project. Ability to dial in prompts to get more desired of what you want and use AI in layers and still use the other same photoshop illustrator design features. If that ain’t creative control I don’t know what is.

[@HyberCrashDK]

adobe keynotes will never not be tacky... And dont even get me started when they bring in a random celebrity foooor... what reason??

[@AppDesignTips]

lol.. it certainly does enhance the entertainment and keep people engaged in Sneaks. I've been there with Kevin Heart and with Tiffany Haddish and they certainly gave the audience a great time. I would bet the attendance would be 1/10th if they weren't there. That's the reason. But yeah. I think the reason the keynote feels unpolished and cringy at times is because they bring out true unsung heros that are great at implementing these features but haven't really practiced on stage all that much and presenting

[@gloriouslyimperfect]

@@AppDesignTipsThey bring out the developers and team who actually worked on them. I’d rather have them show their work than someone who is speaking off script who had nothing to do with it. And as for sneaks they are so hard to sit through in the room I cant imagine people would stay if there wasn’t some kind of pull

[@AppDesignTips]

agreed @@gloriouslyimperfect

[@andymoran8624]

so......besides a.i. everything = super generic looking work incoming, Are there any new tools?

[@AppDesignTips]

lol good Q/insight. The way generative AI works it has to begin all looking generic in order to grow and give it more uniqueness. More people that use it the better it can be trained with more preference. If people type generic prompt and generate it will all be generic but I’ve already supplemented firefly in small ways with my self-made content that has saved me hours. This did feel like a firefly pixie dust sprinkled into everything event. They did say they had to set aside a lot of the adobe roadmap to focus on AI which might seem boring right now but I think it’s a very smart move for their future and our future.

[@AppDesignTips]

Off the top of my head. AI image to text and outline path to text finder was pretty cool. Photoshop adaptive filters, express 2.0 is basically a whole new tool compared to express 1.0. They didn’t spend a lot of time on the non AI stuff but it has all been updated sporadically throughout the year making it not as exciting as releasing it all at once but a lot more helpful to us for them to ship right when it’s ready.

[@wknx]

2023 and still no color picker inside Illustrator's Recolor Artwork

[@IbrahimAlShehaby]

Simply, the ( generative AI ) killed the photo and vector stock business 😅 soon it will kill the graphic apps too

[@HumanTouchArt]

the whole entertaiment industry is becoming a corprate autogenerate alogrithmic industry to pump as much shit out as humanly possible kind of sad .....

[@megatronreaction]

Congrats, you're predicting the future, Adobe will taste its own medicine.

[@sankarganesh5214]

❤❤❤❤

[@ifur]

Yay more AI

[@elish9456]

no real life photos anymore

[@blackout1111]

Watch on 1.5x

[@jabulaniharvey-stinkycheese]

jaw stuck to the floor

[@GrafDe]

So from now on, straight from primary school in front of the computer and telling Adobe what you want. Studying graphics and design is now unnecessary, as every 12-year-old child now calls themselves a graphic designer!

[@danielbowie]

Adobe announced it is now an AI company lol

[@AppDesignTips]

😂

[@TeddyLeppard]

So many hours of my life wasted learning how to actually make things... just hand it off to the computer now. Oh, and Adobe's presenters are insufferable. As always.

[@fiveshorts]

Nauseating.

[@davidfitcher2953]

Her fake excitement is a bit annoying

[@VinylSkillz]

This AI crap is killin creativity man....get outta here with this bs

[@jarabito001]

The lady talking about premiere is just annoying!

[@brytonkalyi277]

+ I believe we are meant to be like Jesus in our hearts and not in our flesh. But be careful of AI, for it is just our flesh and that is it. It knows only things of the flesh (our fleshly desires) and cannot comprehend things of the spirit such as peace of heart (which comes from obeying God's Word). Whereas we are a spirit and we have a soul but live in the body (in the flesh). When you go to bed it is your flesh that sleeps but your spirit never sleeps (otherwise you have died physically) that is why you have dreams. More so, true love that endures and last is a thing of the heart (when I say 'heart', I mean 'spirit'). But fake love, pretentious love, love with expectations, love for classic reasons, love for material reasons and love for selfish reasons that is a thing of our flesh. In the beginning God said let us make man in our own image, according to our likeness. Take note, God is Spirit and God is Love. As Love He is the source of it. We also know that God is Omnipotent, for He creates out of nothing and He has no beginning and has no end. That means, our love is but a shadow of God's Love. True love looks around to see who is in need of your help, your smile, your possessions, your money, your strength, your quality time. Love forgives and forgets. Love wants for others what it wants for itself. Take note, love works in conjunction with other spiritual forces such as faith and patience. We should let the Word of God be the standard of our lives not AI. If not, God will let us face AI on our own and it will cast the truth down to the ground, it will be the cause of so much destruction like never seen before, it will deceive many and take many captive in order to enslave them into worshipping it and abiding in lawlessness. We can only destroy ourselves but with God all things are possible. God knows us better because He is our Creater and He knows our beginning and our end. Our prove text is taken from the book of John 5:31-44, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12, Daniel 7-9, Revelation 13-15, Matthew 24-25 and Luke 21. Let us watch and pray... God bless you as you share this message to others.

[@Some_one11237]

The voice of the announcer is sooooo annoying!

[@ihatearial]

This is witchcraft.

[@mediataal]

Thank you for making this video (wow, all the women on stage were quite hysterical and annoying. Is this typical american?)

[@AppDesignTips]

There were many on stage that appeared to be first timers and it was probably their nervousness shining.

[@zn10999]

So much great things, and so much cringe.
