Adobe Flexing On All Of Us

what’s a photographer/graphic designer/videographer/editor anyway…

Adobe has the entire creative industry asking a bunch of questions after its annual Adobe Max event. You’ll understand that statement a bit more as you read on.

Adobe usually makes plenty of big product launches and updates at its annual MAX event, and this year’s design conference is no exception. The creative software giant has announced its first generative AI video model, which is already available in Premiere Pro — beating rival offerings like OpenAI’s Sora and Google’s Veo to the market.

First off, let’s look at #ProjectTurntable, a tool designed to work inside of Adobe Illustrator. It basically allows you to turn 2D vector images into 3D rotatable graphics. Get it? Turntable. lol.

Let’s look at the tool in action. If you want to skip ahead to the action. It’s at the 1:10 mark in the video:

For the videographers and editors, this next tool is quietly next level. If you’ve ever shot anything in unpredictable conditions then you know the pain of potentially over or underexposing your footage and unless you shoot in RAW there isn’t much you can do to save that footage, that is until now.

#ProjectCleanMachine is a video professional’s dream tool. I am not going to say much about it, I want you to experience its effects for yourself.

The action begins at the 2:05 mark in the video:

It was a jam-packed event and you can watch all of the announcements from the full spectacular this playlist here:

MUSIC

RnB Jams For Late Night Drives

the soundscape to your chill…

Sometimes all you need is to take a late-night drive to clear your mind and when you do that you must set the vibe with the soundtrack to your drive.

Now I love a good RnB playlist and a good array of RnB jams will set up any drive perfectly.

These are some of my favourite RnB songs to accompany a late-night drive:

Isaiah Falls & Joyce Wrice - Butterflies

Dylan Sinclair - CREW > BOO

Karri - Oakland Part. 2

Leon Thomas - FARFETCHED feat. Ty Dolla $ign

These are just a few of my favourites right now, but if you want some more, let me know and I will make this a feature of The Casual Dork Weekly.
