They absolutly did encounter issues, but what constitutes an issue in adobe vs anything is else are so wildly out of phase with eachother that you can't in good faith use the same word for both at once. If blender has issues, then adobe has catastophes and that just doesn't fit normal sentance structure.

[@HotDogTimeMachine385]

Not to be just another "Blender is better" comment but... Used Maya: encountered issue, tried googling issue, nobody knew answer and several people told me I illegally downloaded the program (which I didn't lmao) and deserved it. The program took 10 minutes to reload each time. Used Blender: encountered issue, googled the answer, everything opened in seconds, even on the bad computer. Someone one time said Blender is bad because "it's not made by a company so it's less support" and I unsubscribed, because I have always easily found help online and Blender's flaws are regularly updated, while Adobe and Autodesk have created such a monopoly on programs they don't care about their consumers, they have no incentive to fix their broken products.

I finally swap to blender cause my license expired, and holy crap I have not had a single similar issue since. The only things I have had are either I open a heavy model which just takes a few sec to open. Or I did something wrong not knowing something specific to the program. Which all was found online. Maya answers were almost always on a version that looked like it was from 1920.

And I don't mean lock up Premiere, I mean the entire freaking computer.

Actually, since what I’m working with uses real footage, the worst feature in CSP is it’s video import. It works, relatively, but the video can’t be too long or else it will destroy the program from the inside out if you try to play it. So you have to chop it into 1-2 second sections.

Honestly, you probably have an edge over a full team of animators who do use Adobe.

[@AndreSkipper]

Idk but your channel says Spain and that means you have my unconditional support cause I'm spanish 👍

Watching this, this actually legitimately showed me how actual behind the scenes stuff happens, especially with that scene of the scene doc, very cool ramen man!

As a sound designer who works in Pro Tools I absolutely feel the video engine pain. Wild work for just one sound guy! Very impressive across the board, seems like y’all put in an absolute ton of work and it paid off

I love the coalbones note with just the coordinates leading from a parking spot into a Nampa, ID Burger King. I was like OMG thats spooky! Seeing as i live less than an hour away

[@vthesnail]

I remember genuinely being shook at how high effort that promotional short was. Getting to see the lovingly stressful creative process behind it makes me appreciate it even more. Also, holy shit never knew Adobe was THAT shit

[@wyattrose5511]

The short was one of my favorite videos of yours. It looked pretty amazing. One of the best, up there with your aspect ratio video (I’m absolutely addicted to it, watched it in VR like three times).

[@Ky-Nas]

I can understand why you wouldn't given the undertaking this last project was, but god DAMN it would be so sick to see more fully animated shorts from you. Your artstyle, your humor, your mixing of medias, all that shit is so engaging to watch as is, so having a proper story told through that same lens is just elevates this already entertaining work that you do into something phenomenal.

[@edenfeledrum1540]

The" Komm Süßer Tod" in the outro was a nice touch. Very fitting. The third impaced connected all humans and their emotions. Adobe Products connect all humans through one emotion: Pain.

I'm so thankful to learn that the worst decision an artist can make when doing work digitally is choosing this one specific platform for their editing, so now I can not make that mistake myself. Thank you for this wonderful information!

[@LaRana2315]

My university has an 11×14 Spring 2023 Harmony Crash Tally Poster in the animation lab. We're up to 200 by now.

[@uninvincibleete]

@@LaRana2315 every program crashes, but the crashing you experience with Harmony vs Adobe products is very different. Harmony crashes are way less common even with larger files, and even after a crash the file itself is fine 99% of the time. It'll frequently even preserve/recover unsaved work. By comparison, Adobe product crashes are always a dice roll on a file becoming completely corrupted and unusable, or even deleting already-saved work (overwriting to an older save). We have professional licenses for both and they're not on the same level at all.

[@LaRana2315]

@@uninvincibleete true. I'll take Harmony crashes over Adobe crashes ANY day, but my uni likes to make a joke out of any program crashes to feel less shitty about them. I've lost count how many times I've lost a Photoshop file.

[@ToroKeVODs]

Managing people is always hard. There's so much pressure and worries about management that is unique to that position. But I bet you did a great job Noodle! Even if you didn't, there's always more opportunities to improve. Hats off to you and your team for making such an amazing animated video!

[@Toto.Reyes16]

As an Adobe user for almost a decade, that rant was GLORIOUS and, sadly, very accurate

[@FeTetra]

its crazy how your production quality has just continuously gotten astronomically better after every video over the last few years like even the cardboard cutout fillers like how and why

[@samuelpurcell9368]

That pateron plug at 12:00 is so good

[@mr_leviathan]

The Adobe rant was honestly music to my ears, currently in the middle of what will hopefully be my final year of university and even now I want to perish every time I hear a instructor, lecturer or tutor say adobe’s programs are “the industry standard”, especially when those same people immediately pull up some good alternatives, free ones too. Some programs I can tolerate but in particular, premier and animate are honestly just painful

[@Link-kw5rg]

I can't wait for clip studio to become a common industry alternative/standard in the west. I was advertising it to my professors and classmates especially.

Just wanted to say that as someone who is currently an art student, I can fully relate to what you mentally went through at 13:20. Sorry you had to go through that; hope you and your pals are doing better.

[@henrynelson9301]

I’ve been using Adobe for nearly three years. mostly premiere, with a bit of after effects and photoshop on the side. Not an artist btw, just a video editor. I knew it was horrible for a while, but that segment made me seriously want to look into switching. Thank you.

Just to say as a small time artist, clip studio, although tricky to get the settings right during the start is freaking amazing and runs so smoothly. I hope you try it out and like it as much as I do.

[@jasonadams4321]

Same. I switched a couple years ago and clip studio is more intuitive following the pencil lines when inking. It blew my mind

[@Link-kw5rg]

I've never had the problems I've had with adobe products with CSP. I've been using it for 4 or so years now and it's only crashed once (honestly, my fault) near the end of a large project. The file was totally fine, and the backups made it so I only lost about 20 minutes of work. Using Adobe feels like your trying to talk it down the entire experience.

[@thatoneweiredchick]

You're basically the only creator I'm willing to sit through the ad for lol

[@SleepZedd]

Despite it all, more people should appreciate how much actual blood, sweat, tears, piss and shit went into making the vid. It's one of my personal favorites of all time now and the attention to detail on every second of it is truly inspiring.

[@JolanXBL]

15:35 Adobe Premiere would resize the frame randomly during an animation, F up the colors of an image to look like when the TV antenna was off-channel, and motion would break for no reason. Now I use DaVinci Resolve, but still using Photoshop. Should view "Breaking up with Adobe" by James Lee.
