Renewed mantra

1. I appreciate the goal
2. They’re going to get sued for the branding alone
3. Lifetime free updates? Let’s see how long that lasts

This #mac catalog is probably from 2001? Up to 512MB RAM!!! 1.3MP digital camera with floppy storage! I wanted that #quicksilver #g4 but didn’t get one until the mirror drive door model a few years later. And I *really* wanted the #TiBook

For you #PostChat people I’m curious – how do you want to see generative AI integrated into tools like Premiere Pro or After Effects?

Generative AI for creatives - Adobe Firefly

Create images, vectors, videos, and 3D from text with Adobe Firefly, Adobe's generative AI model for creative work. Discover a whole new way to create with Adobe Firefly.

This #ColorPalette generation tool is awesome and a refreshing break from the more simple complementary/split/analogous tools. But I wish I could just draw a bezier arc instead of selecting math formulas. Anything like that out there? https://meodai.github.io/poline/

Essential Properties are one of my all-time favorite AE features, and now they're getting even more essential: they're coming to the Properties panel!

This makes making different versions of a composition faster and easier than ever. You also get access to source text options, so you can update font styling without expressions.

Grab today's After Effects Beta update and give things a spin.
