Frame.io Is Joining Forces with Adobe
https://blog.frame.io/2021/08/19…
"This $1.275B deal will allow us to continue our mission of transforming and creating the future of collaborative video workflows."
Adobe will probably ruin the service but damn I'd take the money too.
- I really, really hope they don't stop supporting FCP users.stoplying

https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/kb…So my Linotype Collection that was an investment at the time just got basically useless for Adobe products.
also probably a timeline...as I booted Indesign in a long time
- "PostScript fonts are font files encoded in outline font specifications developed by Adobe Systems for professional digital typesetting."shapesalad
- This is dumb. If a vendor I work with doesn't support a font, I can convert to outlines or rasterize. If I need unicode support, I can choose another fontakiersky
- This is like deprecating support for JPEG'sakiersky
- @uan would converting fonts to another format be allowed under the copyright? Could use something like FontForge to save them in another format perhapsakiersky
- I can work around it. it just sucks they come out of the blue and decide their products don't support their specs no more. it's ridiculous.uan

Updated InDesign on Saturday and now the file I created on Friday won't export as a PDF despite working fine before the update. No useful error messages - just says "Failed to export the PDF file". Had to crack out distiller for the first time in a long while and it works fine there. Fuckin hopeless

The puppet tool in After Effects. I haven't used it in a while but I remember it being functional and possible to use. What happened?

After Effects Puppet Tool:
What an incomprehensible pile of turd. The tool will randomly stop making points in some areas of a shape. The bending is wonky beyond belief and there's no weight mapping options.Lights and 3D:
I try to avoid it like the plague. Why would it be so hard to get a shadow to appear? Most of the time I bail on these awful features they refuse to improve over the decades and just do it in C4D.

I think I broke QBN. None of my bitches are appearing.

- Guess there really was someone who used 3D in Photoshop hahahaaaaagrafician
- Love Chuck!stoplying
- Fuck 3d in PS, PS should develop 2D animation (Timeline window) which is lovely with the amazing PS brushes.i_was
- I use the 360 drawing in PS 2017. Fuck Adobe indeedPhanLo
- @I_was there IS a Timeline tab in Ps mate, I used it a lot for quick gif animations and videosgrafician
- I know there is one, I'm saying it should be further developedi_was

A weird one - I'm working with a load of EPS files and I just phoned the client to check as two of them were the exact-same design, but then as I'm on the phone talking with her, I realise that I've loaded in the same EPS twice. Oops, that was a bit amateur. But wait. I never received a prompt. So, I close files, drag that one file in and... Boomph, it loads two copies. Just this one file. Wut?
- It might be a multiple window viewGnash
- Can you have multiple artboards when you save an EPS in illustrator? Is that what's happening?Ianbolton
- Not sure - I checked artboards and its only reporting one. Filenames become standard "Design 4 layer 1.eps:1" + "Design 4 layer 1.eps:2" as you'd expect ..Nairn
- ..when opening multiple copies of the same file in Illy. I'm guessing there must be some corruption in the file header, or sumfink.Nairn

Attempting to open a .png in the latest, "greatest" release of Adobe Photoshop:
"Could not complete your request because of a program error."
"OK" or "Learn How To Fix" are my options...
...https://helpx.adobe.com/photo... is the article it's linked to.
FUCK ADOBE!
- A 166 KB .png file!!!
GAHHH!!!ideaist - Open it in a browser, copy it and then create a new document and paste it in. I get that with the odd .jpg that it's slightly corrupt. Or need a restart.PhanLo
- PS can't open files with improper extensions either. On macOS if you open an image with a wrong extension in Preview and save, it'll fix the filename.evilpeacock
- change the extension from .png to .jpgshapesalad
- I can't even open a .psd I opened pre this latest update... GAHHH!!!ideaist
- I betcha Affinity will open that PSD right up.monNom
- Adobe= bloated softwarei_was
- @monNom Looks cool, raster/vector in on e program, gonna try it.i_was
- I uninstalled, installed older version, updated and BOOM today it's working. WTF?!ideaist
- A 166 KB .png file!!!

There're so many stupid wee inconsistent glitches in Illy that aren't fundamentally-problemmatic and can be worked around, but that invoke too many befuddlement cycles.
I've just taken an object and shift-X'd it to swap the fill for a stroke, which typically defaults to a 1pt outline and.. nope, for some reason it's defaulting to 0pt, but with a clearly visible line all the same. As always, I question myself, so repeat a few times to convince myself that it's it, not me. It's it.
Copy same object to another open window and repeat the process and yep, does what it's supposed to, defaulting to a 1pt stroke. It's most definitely it.
WHY.
- Doesn’t that just swap whatever’s there, not add a stroke that doesnt exist?monospaced
- Nope, especially if there was no stroke to begin with. It defaults to 1pt.Nairn

My current Photoshop right now has a bug where trying to open the Paragraph panel opens Paths instead. They do start with the same letter but...
Only way to get to Paragraphs is to open Character and switch tabs. Lulz the industry standard

After Effects needs to have a lock the start and end comp bar. I can't count how many times I think I'm scrolling the play head in the timeline but I'm dragging that stupid Work Area dork around.

Every time I copy and paste an image in Adobe InDesign it tells me the image needs to be updated.

Media Encoder: Probably the worst piece of software Adobe makes.
Recently, it's completely incapable of writing over a file. It will dork out with the goat sound instead. Isn't this something computers figured out 50 years ago?
- I get that noise if I have the output file open in QuickTime or Mpeg streamclip and try to re-render. Might be that?PhanLo
- On macOS Adobe software can't overwrite a file that is even selected in the Finder — might be because they don't use Apple APIs because other apps *can* do thatevilpeacock
- Just export ProRes 4444 and use handbrake. Save 1/2 the time.shapesalad

The new Photoshop export image method is ass.
No matter how many times I tell a jpg to export at 80% it refuses to remember the last setting. Why would it default to 100% anyway. If I wanted no compression I would have exported a png you digital doofus.- you set a preference for the quick export settings and use that.shapesalad
- ^And why would you do that?, makes no sens, Ps is just a bloated shit, every new version getting worse, bloated shit just like Windows. Not remembering lasti_was
