They also completely ruined media encoder. It no longer remembers the compressor setting or the last path of the last video you exported. You now have to do this every single time even if you are exporting to the same folder and using the same encoding settings.

I’ve really gotten to loathe anything Adobe does these days. Not just from everything you mentioned here, but because all of their software just runs horribly. It’s all gotten so bloated and crashes all the time. I actually switched to DaVinci Resolve because it’s so much more stable and runs so well. After Effects is basically the only Adobe software I still find to be pretty solid.

I am a first year graphic design student and I just spent the semester learning all of these programs. This video was hilariously accurate! I didn't know there were inconsistencies until you pointed them out, I just thought I didn't know what I was doing in the programs. Great video!

And not to mention. Why isn't photoshop and illustrator easy to use together. A graphic designer needs to use adjustments layers on images too while working on vectors, but there is no elegant way to transfer files from one program to the other. Affinity can do this sooo much more smoothly.

That's why I switched professional to Affinity. All 3 Programms feel exactly the same, even the iPad Apps. I still have and Creative Cloud sub for Lightroom and occasional I start photoshop, get frustrated that you cant select Objekts and close it immediately. Back in the 00 no serious Designer used Photoshop for Webdesign, we were using a Programm called Macromedia Fireworks. Adobe bought the company and made a bloody mess out of it until of course it got cancel.

I 100% agree with you. After 7 years of working in the field, I still need to google basic things at times. It's quite frustrating how many inconsistencies there are between their softwares. Drives me absolutely nuts! And I kind of feel forced to keep using the Adobe suite because of the wide range of software I need. I do think I'll be switching to Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo and Figma (at the very least).

Premier pro is a pile of shit. It's absolutely retarded the way the do most things. Their new title system is even more retarded than the old one. You can't even change the fonts on the pre-made stuff without editing the main file and that will then change the fonts on EVERY OTHER PROJECT that uses that setting.

I fucking love this video. Thank you. Thank you.

Other issues with their changing of SHIFT behaviour in PS (as well as changing the crop tool): as a teacher, this creates a real headache, as when teaching a course on a totally different topic, with more than enough to be getting on with, you now have to do a bloody digression about how to fix all the old tools that are now acting differently. You have no way of knowing if a student is using CS6 (as I still do), or CC of whatever damned year they're on, with different versions of the program now having different tool behaviour. I"ve mentioned this on other movies on YT, but even worse that all the annoying stuff in this vid is the bugs - in my case (and a small but non-trivial % of users) the ~2021 update NUKED not just my latest version of PS, but the previous ones I also had installed. I don't know what crap they had in that update, but PS crashed every time I tried to open an image. We had a thread on their forum begging them to fix the bug, it went on for months. Many of us had pretty high end GPUs and systems, there was no rhyme or reason why the update failed to detect them, or acting crappy if it did. Adobe just continued to cash our subs and told us to "reset your prefs" or "switch it off and switch it on again", or some equivalent display of contempt. Anyway, I canceled, saved myself 700 bucks a year. They can rot. I recommend that anyone who really needs their apps to try (if they can) to procure the cs6 suite if they can find an old copy, kiss goodbye to their cloud, as it only rains piss.

This is so apt. I just wish Adobe fixes at least some of these, if not all. Though it would be a dream come true for thousands of artists 🙌🏼

Affinity also did the feature better. It has the option to constrain based on what kind of layer it is (images constrain by default, vectors don't, etc.), constrain everything by default, or not constrain whatsoever. They also gave it a nice little menu in Preferences for customising your workflow and works exactly the same in Publisher, Photo, and Designer. Meanwhile Adobe just slapped a "Use Legacy Free Transform" checkbox in Photoshop, as if not constraining by default is somehow considered outdated when it is just that, a preference.

coming here after they changed the colors of all clips on the timeline, made the default height of tracks on the timeline double the size and removed valuable information labels from clips showing if they had altered motion parameters or effects on them in premiere pro... literally for no reason...

I've reluctantly switched over to Affinity after 5 years of Photoshop and Illustrator creative cloud hell.

Since I migrated to Figma for vector and web design, I never looked back to Illustrator.

Resolve runs circles around Premiere Pro on so many levels. Fusion takes getting used because it uses nodes instead of layers. Once you get used to using nodes you won't look back. Masking is better as well.

Figma and its plugins is a godsend for me, UI and UX is so good and I can do 90% of work I did in Illustrator and Indesign. Now I only need to use Adobe for file delivery purposes,

5:12 this lag perfectly sums up premiere pro, into a single recording xD Premiere Pro - "You can technically do it, but we made it as hard as possible for you"

Photoshop was perfect 3 versions ago. They just keep making it worse and worse!! Ive been using PS for over a decade, but since they went on the "cloud" its frustrating AF. Somehow, multiple tools get selected at the same time? Theres so many bizarre glitches.

Photoshop was perfect on CS3 versión, nothing new from there.

Adobe's Photoshop is a pinnacle of their quality. When you're using Premiere for longer projects than 5 minutes and/or with FullHD or 2k footage, than you really want to burn in hell rather than working in such conditions. I mean, if you have any graphic card that isn't labeled with RTX than you will have probably 10+ crash reports per project. It's really astonishing how this corporation can't handle their software. I REALLY hope there will be some heavy competition in near future for adobe to realize that they're very efficiently destroying their own software.

Nitpicking nitpicks: directional blur shouldn’t be called motion blur in after effects. In the context of video, they’re very much distinct. AE has its own frame interpolation/velocity pass based motion blur. I guess they had to differentiate but didn’t want to screw up the naming that people were used to solely for the sake of consistency. It really just shouldn’t be called motion blur in photoshop to begin with, but I suppose it could be used that way with some compositing trickery. I’m not trying to defend Adobe, I’ve largely abandoned their software entirely aside from photoshop (just haven’t felt like relearning everything to use affinity). In the context of just about every software they offer, there is a far better, more lightweight, more detailed, and cheaper/open source alternative. They’ve pulled an autodesk, gone fully corporate and are bogged down by keeping modularity and compatibility paramount, constrained by the need to keep old/dated features. And their somewhat recent marketing push towards obtaining a wider demographic and capitalizing on social media “creators,” leads to over-simplification that feels almost flat-out patronizing to me. Things like removing the jpg quality slider with “good, poor, very good,” - that doesn’t help when I want to get the maximum quality for an upload with a 20mb file size limit… then there’s of course instances like premiere mobile, where you get a choice of aspect ratios, like 16:9, and 1:1. It’s not hard to implement a way to use a custom aspect. *Delete*. Don’t even get me started on their attempt at “3D software” in a world where blender and Houdini apprentice can be had for free. I’m about at my limit as far as putting up with this company goes. There’s absolutely no reason that editing a couple .tiff files should generate 20+gb of cache/temp files. It’s absurd. Since abandoning their software, I’ve had far less issues and stress.

I regularly come back to this, just to have a good time:)

InDesign is mostly meant for publication the colors and blending modes are meant for print. That's why InDesign is very different from other Adobe software.

first of all thanks for this incredible content I just wished u mentioned the instability of all of adobe suite software. some times apps shutdown without showing a single error and auto-saving in InDesign omfg

I couldn't agree more. The disrespect and invasiveness of the Adobe CC suite, which tracks my every web movement online, because I am forced to stay signed in, violates my privacy, too. It is beyond these idiotic UX redesigns, and this bloated, corporate designed software, that disregards the needs of its primary users - designers. Moreover, with the redesign of each application, they add more and more unnecessary plug ins and 'special effects', that if you understand the software, can do in minutes, while changing tools in each application.

I don’t use Adobe products and I never intend on doing so. There are a lot of less expensive, non-subscription based and even possibly free alternatives to Adobe applications. Unfortunately due to the fact that Adobe programs are considered the meta of digital productions, we have a lot of Adobe Sheeple that are too scared to use any other sort of program that most likely runs better than the mainstream garbage they are using. “Baaah”

Have been sitting here the past couple hours trying to work with illustrator and my project is still on 0% completion and my closet door already has 3 holes in it from my fist😖

It’s been rough lately. I’ve been averaging 2/3 every after effects session.

The industry standard is now an old, slow and bloated dinosaur. So many options now.

InDesign is the only reason I need Adobe. And they stopped innovating for it (or including important, widely-needed features and improvement) years ago.

try changing clip speed with the R tool in Premiere. It will always ad a frame in the beginning of the file. It's been this way since CS6 for sure, maybe longer. Try unlinking audio from video, then moving the audio file in milliseconds and then linking them back... The software is crap, that's the truth. Sadly too many people share Pr or AE projects and you have to keep up the workflow. They know it, so for 800 euros you get new icons and more bugs. And of course the best - task manager during rendering. How i love my gpu to be at 2% and the cpu at 30!

I'm late to the party...but came here to confirm I'm not the only (20 year) user who don't get why you have to drop two "effects" onto a track and adjust four settings just to mask an object in Premiere...while AE has an equally nonsensical workflow. It is good to know that I'm not alone.

Most of your complaints are about things that were actually instantly intuitive for me with exception for photoshop's scaling reference point but as far as I remember it's been (and is) in the center of selected area in my instance of photoshop. Besides that, you can easily move the reference point and it's instantly intuitive too.

premiere pro is very slowly making me loose my braincells sometimes i cant believe i am paying for this software

I make comics and illustrations for a living. Photoshop was a nightmare to use. I've long switched over to ClipStudioEx

At least for video work you can use Davinci Resolve (Editing, Compositing and Effects, Colorgrading and Sound). For the other stuff like photoshop, indesign, illustrator there is no viable alternative.

Kudos, bravo and applause...the more I work in this field the more I guess Adobe is the Apple brand of creators software...

This video is my spirit animal. Software reminds me every day that smart people are incredibly stupid.

As bad as these inconveniences are, I’m still able to do what I wanna do in illustrator and animated. However, if I see “there was an error opening project.fla” one more time

Adobe doesn't need to make improvements to their software, they just need to make changes, good or bad, to justify their subscription fee. Because you have to pay monthly to use their software and can not just buy it, you are locked in to paying forever if you think you will ever need to use it again. Even if you change to a new program. I pretty much don't use anything past 2018, but still have to pay the subscription to be able to use it. If I hate every single change the have made to the next version, I can not vote with my wallet by skipping that version. This means adobe doesn't have to worry about what I think about their changes, because even if I only use the 2014 versions of everything, I still have to pay. I am stuck with adobe, unless I pirate it, which I just might start doing. The only thing Adobe has done is insured I will NEVER buy in to another subscription service again.

How about when you're trying to temporarily unsubscribe from a plan because of issues or you are not able to use Photoshop for awhile they ask for an additional goddamn fucking $20 just to either pause or end the subscription!!

PS was instead saving a new file tagged as "_copy" so you would have to relink in InDesign or delete the main file and rename the copy to retain cross app linking. Adobe's support answer to this was, "use export it's a better way". Export is easier, true, but was also keeping the old way people have been using for 20 years that much of an impossibility!?

I honestly think Adobe CC is laughing at us, with each worthless iteration, and unnecessary changes, as it raises its very high user licence fees yearly.

And the monochrome microscopic icons. Seriously. I hate this trend. It makes me think that is not a coincidence how confusing and de-humanizing all todays interfaces are. It looks that things are done this way to make people be in a permanent state of angriness and anxiety on purpose. Look at how todays UI experience in general sucks: the cookie disclaimers and all dumb browsers not remembering that i set my preferences on this a day ago: The accidentally pushed OS integrated news popups i am not interested on.

hahahaha sooo goood what a nice substantiated rant. Sounds like they are the new blizzard entertainment, a company that never disappoints after two solid decades of brilliancy.

**Me who uses Adobe efter effects normally**

HAHAHA! Ohhhh man it's 2am and I'm pretty sure I woke up the whole building laughing. It's funny, because it's true. I'm putting a shortcut to this vidoe on my frickity desktop so I can watch it when I get upset at Adobe, and know that I'm not alone.

Appreciate you! I feel like someone should say something about the quiet moments of desperation we've learned to accept while working with Adobe

thus why I just pirate. THEY DONT LISTEN

Illustrator is the software I loath and want to murder, I hate sketching in it, sure clipstudio is doing the monthly payments bug honestly it's more consistent and fun to use so idc. I haft to use afobe for art class and I hate it

Illustrator just has a bad name imo. I use it almost exclusively for type and logo design. Affinity Designer is q much better choice for illustration

I reckon a lot of these inconsistencies were by design in most cases, as it meant you had a reason to get the software that can "do that thing that you want to do much easier in the program you already have" EDIT: WTF ADOBE. I THOUGHT I HAD TO PAINT ON A LINE TO GET ANY THICKNESS IN PHOTOSHOP AND HAVE BEEN DOING THAT FOR A DECADE. I'm learning NOW that there is a weight setting?! 👿👿👿👿👿

That’s actually a very interesting take! Good observation, this makes me even more mad. And yeah, fuck the weight setting.

Adobe products are a mess, as you said, for me, Illustrator is one of the all time worst software I had to use.

i really hope the worst for all adobe execs

I hate Adobe! I hate that it constantly is occupying my screen space proposing that I buy something. I never wanted it on my computer. I deeply resent that it takes regular additional key strokes to decline to buy something. STOP SELLING ME IN MY OWN SPACE!!

It's not great... in fact is fucking awful but it's the all we got...
