Transcripts
i want you to do me a favor and take a
look at this grid of adobe apps how many
of these do you think you oops wait a
minute
okay there we go
how many of these do you think you could
name
probably not a lot after i just did that
right
when it comes to adobe in order to learn
about an app you pretty much have to
learn how to use it that's hard because
a lot of these apps are not easy to use
well that all changes today as i run you
down all of these apps in like a few
minutes by the way that periodic table
joke at the beginning took about four
and a half hours for me to make so you
better leave a like or i will cry
okay let's go photoshop of course we
have to start here adobe's flagship
product lever to hate it i don't know
why you'd hate it it's industry leading
software in the image processing space
touch up photos make a gif create a logo
reduce your file size make a cringy
youtube thumbnail
almost any image editing need you have
photoshop is designed to have your back
illustrator it's not the same as
photoshop although they are often
confused someone should make a video
about that illustrator is designed for
images and vector graphics only so
photoshop can handle some of that stuff
but illustrator is really a specialized
tool for that area adobe indesign is a
page layout designing and publishing
tool so posters flyers brochures
magazines newspapers ebooks that type of
thing adobe after effects is powerful
software for special effects and motion
graphics like this
and like this
and even like
this adobe animate cc is animation
software if you can believe it
most suitable for cartoon-like animation
where drawing might be involved used to
be called flash which is now dead
rest in peace
adobe premiere pro is professional video
editing software with a layered timeline
and a library of effects and transitions
okay so one of the things that makes
adobe's software catalog so confusing is
how many apps are that seem to do the
same thing you know there's a lot of
them so let's power through them right
now adobe photoshop express basically
the mobile version of photoshop um
that's pretty much it adobe lightroom is
not photoshop light it's what i used to
think it was it's uh it's it's like
photoshop but it's really designed for
photography so
color corrections lens flare any of that
sort of stuff i don't know i'm not a
photographer it's the most useful
feature is that you can batch edit
photos so a photographer might come home
from a shoot with a thousand pictures
you know and if they all need to be
corrected the same way lightroom will
let you do that lightroom classic is
also not lightroom light it's the same
as lightroom but it's less optimized for
large batches and more optimized for
precise and advanced adjustments to
singular photos and is available on
desktop only because it's that powerful
adobe photoshop camera is a free camera
app for mobile devices by adobe that
lets you take photos apply effects and
edit right there in the app it's
actually pretty cool i didn't know it
existed
adobe fresco specifically for drawing
and painting so if you have one of those
little drawing tablets and you want the
most realistic digital painting
experience this is where you go oh yeah
and it's free too adobe premiere rush
this is actually a lighter version of
premiere pro that can be used on your
mobile device too
or in your desktop if you're um
if you're
in a rush and if you're on a mobile
device you can actually shoot video
directly inside the app too which is
pretty cool while we're here we should
pay our respects to adobe prelude which
was a program for rough cutting large
amounts of clips and footage at a time
it was discontinued on september the 8th
of 2021 as adobe focused on implementing
prelude's features into premiere pro
so at least they're making an effort to
condense this enormous product catalog
of theirs whenever possible adobe
character animator is some really cool
software that specializes in character
rigging to create lifelike motion the
way it works is it accesses your webcam
and will mirror your facial expressions
and movements and all that onto the
character you're animating which saves a
ton of time when it comes to lip syncing
and all that adobe audition is
professional audio recording and editing
software i happen to be speaking into
adobe audition right now photoshop
elements and premiere elements so these
are the true light versions of their big
brothers they're stripped down made
simple for the amateur photo and or
video editor
and actually they are not part of the
creative cloud that's worth mentioning
here
instead their one-time purchase which is
kind of unheard of for adobe i think
they run you about 100 each so not too
bad
okay and to bridge us out of the land of
confusing apps that all do the same
thing as each other we have adobe bridge
if you're smart enough to see that
coming you have to leave a like i don't
make the rules it's kind of like a file
manager but designed by adobe for adobe
so helps to keep track of all your
assets and project files as you work
between apps and devices adobe and copy
so if you remember indesign from earlier
incopy allows the copywriters to work
together at the same time as the graphic
designers when creating you know
pamphlets and magazines so if you're a
magazine or newspaper agency and you
have to keep up with you know one issue
a week or something i'm sure this saves
a lot of time adobe comp this is a
mobile app for creating comps and
mockups using quote natural drawing
gestures
according to adobe it converts your
rough shapes and lines into crisp
graphics this one is heavily focused on
integration between other adobe apps and
devices and whatnot so create your comps
on your phone send them to your tablet
on illustrator or send them to indesign
on your computer
adobe xd this is user experience
designing software
the xd is short for experience design
designing websites apps and all that
designed for mobile tablet web
seamlessly and responsively all the same
time
it seems to attack the same kind of
market need that figma does if you've
ever used figma
and if you want to turn those designs
into reality you fire up adobe
dreamweaver dreamweaver is a visual
website designer that allows you to
create your website without you even
needing to touch the code it does also
however include a powerful code editor
if you know how to use it
alright next we got 3d modeling software
first up is adobe dimension dimension
specializes in photorealistic product
composites so it's for creating your
product catalog without having to hire a
photographer in the studio and all that
stuff
designed to have a shallow learning
curve rather than a steep one usually
found in 3d product compositing software
i guess i don't know i don't know how to
use 3d product compositing software
adobe aero adobe aero is also 3d
modeling software but is designed for
creating augmented reality experiences
with no coding required straight from
your mobile phone
and there is a desktop version in beta
as i record this
and you might be thinking to yourself
those are two oddly specific use cases
for 3d modeling software that's where
adobe substance comes in substance is
your general purpose 3d modeling
software from adobe it's not one app but
a collection of four so you got your 3d
painter 3d designer 3d sampler and 3d
stager
and it is not part of the creative cloud
it's its own subscription i believe runs
you about 40 a month
yeah super powerful stuff over my head
for sure i'll leave that for the smart
people adobe capture is a camera app
that scans what you're looking at and
recreates it as best it can so shapes
patterns colors materials even fonts so
yeah if you see a font you like you can
use capture to well capture it and save
it in adobe fonts
you like that adobe fonts is a massive
library of fonts to use across all your
adobe apps and it used to be called
typekit if you remember that name
adobe spark is a free online graphic
design tool that can do some basic edits
to photos or videos usable on web and
mobile
and once you're done using all those
creativity apps you can show off what
you made on adobe behance behance is an
art and photography showcasing website
by adobe a little bit like dribble if
you've ever used gerbil so dribble is a
little more geared towards social
networking whereas behance is more of a
showcasing thing
speaking of showcasing adobe portfolio
is a tool specifically for creating your
own portfolio website so if you want
your own site to showcase yourself
instead of behance this is the place to
make it last couple of things in the
creative cloud we have adobe scan use a
camera to scan pieces of paper
whiteboards and all that stuff to create
pdfs out of them pretty cool
adobe acrobat reader you've probably
heard of for creating and showing pdfs
and adobe fill in sign this is exactly
what it sounds like if you've got a pdf
that has a place you need to sign rather
than printing it out wasting trees print
and sign lets you do it securely in the
digital world
okay if you weren't already familiar uh
everything i just talked about unless
otherwise mentioned is part of what's
called the adobe creative cloud it's a
family of programs designed for all
reaches of creative work right but adobe
makes more stuff than that you know have
you ever heard of the adobe experience
cloud
yeah i didn't think so i hadn't either
apparently it's a family of software for
large businesses to manage their
customers experiences so marketing
analytics advertising
yeah that's why i didn't talk about it
you'd be asleep if you aren't already
but cool stuff and good to know it
exists
so those are the two clouds of services
you can subscribe to to finish out here
let's quickly make our way through the
cool standalone stuff adobe has made so
i already hit photoshop and premiere
elements and substance so let's do
adobe cold fusion cold fusion is
enterprise level software for developing
scalable and robust applications
including its own programming language
an enterprise level uh subscription will
cost you a cool ten thousand dollars for
the full license so yeah not for the
average everyday consumer adobe captive
and adobe captive prime these are
e-learning tools for teachers and
instructors to create presentations and
courses quickly and beautifully adobe
robo-help this is a knowledge-based tool
which is fancy speak for this little
booklet things that you see in like
microsoft word like you need help and it
opens up this annoying thing like this
thing yeah that's what robo help does
i thought it was going to be like an
advanced ai program assistant box you
can talk to or something but no it's
just those little booklets that nobody
likes
adobe stock um it's in the name stock
footage photos graphics all that stuff
one of the higher quality libraries out
there i have to say mixamo miximo is
probably the most standalone of all of
these it's got its own domain mixamo.com
animate your 3d characters for video
games movies whatever you might need a
3d character for
and that's it cut print it that's a wrap
holy moly
i feel like i need a nap man thank you
for watching to the end uh you deserve a
medal or a cookie or something that was
a lot i'm sure there was something i
missed let me know in the comments if i
did i'm sure you're already typing
um this took lots of hard work to make
so if you enjoyed please let me know by
hitting subscribe i only have 239
subscribers so this was definitely a
labor of love so that's all i ask and
that you stay tuned if you haven't seen
my last video i am back i'm not dead
like you probably thought i was making
videos having a good time it's good to
be back hit the bell too because i don't
upload often and i promise to be a bill
