Thanks! I'm switching from Adobe, and your video was fast and helpful!
Great, glad I could help!
This was a great intro! Gave me just enough to start playing around in Publisher!
Awesome! I'm glad I could help out!
Is it still possible to connect the ink and slide to an ipad
unfortunately no, the software for it no longer has support.
@@bendesignsmediaoh thats a shame thank you though
I've been using GIMP for years because it is free. I'm sick of this culture of never owning anything, pay to play, rent-ware. This made me quite adept at using GIMP to nearly expert level. It took years and it was a buggy bumpy road. When I bought my Mac M1, I wanted an app that took advantage of the M1 power and GIMP did not at the time. I found Affinity Photo and got it on sale for $25. It smoked GIMP and was much more comparable to Photoshop. This was right before V2 came out. So just recently I've been doing a lot more graphic and photo work, and also needing to work with vector images. I got the full universal package of all 3 apps for all platforms on super-sale. Because I had purchased V1 of photo, I got an additional 25% off. Grand total like $67 for the whole shebang. I have a Mac at home, but on the road when I am doing photoshoots I take my Windows Laptop and I also have an old iPad Air2 I use mainly to watch movies. Coming from GIMP, Affinity is worth every penny. It's smooth and polished and runs fairly snappy even if your computer is not the latest and greatest.
When i speed up my clips (about x3) the playback is stuttering and slow, i editing on an Ipad M2 do you have any idea to solve this? :c
It's probably just having trouble rendering that many frames per second. Try exporting a clip at 3x and seeing if the final product is ok. Everything you do to clip (speeding up, adding effects, adding titles, color grading, etc) requires more processing power. In doing a little digging online it seems like the M2 and Davinci don't always get along as well as the M1 and Davinci did.
Hm no there is a discount to previous users. I got v2 for $103, I also got free features like: Splat! Illustration Kit for Affinity by Frankentoon, Publication Typefaces by Collection, Salt and Pepper LUT pack by Ivan Weiss, Futuro Line Icons by Anatolii Babii
This video was made right when V2 came out, there was no discount at that point there was just the general discount for everyone.
I ditched Adobe Animate CC in favor of macromedia Flash MX 2004, which is a free alternative to Animate that is designed to run on older lower end hardware.
I stopped using Adobe when they went to the subscription model. I was quite happy buying the upgrades to their products AND OWNING THEM as I liked. But subscriptions make you a slave to them. As soon as I saw what Affinity could do I jumped on it and I am more than happy to pay for an upgrade to their apps.
I just purchased the whole suite after a number of years with Adobe. Thank you for your advice.
If you work for a nonprofit or educational facility they have a thing where you can signup and get it for free.
Oh, and currently they are offering a six month trial. 😘
I was greeted with an Adobe Photoshop AD on this video. 🤣🤣🤣
How do you connect both the line is there a smoothing tool just like in ai?
Honestly the discount for previous buyers I don't get being a thing at all. We got apps that were solid mirrors of Adobe and for a fraction of the cost and for life. Insane value for money. Affinity photo does not get enough credit in the photography space for how good it actually is as an Adobe competitor
Aka remove adobe with affinity
I knew to the creative space and software. What would be recommended for the novice that is user-friendly and naturally intuitive? Thanking you.
How about my indesign file and the fonts used? How can i import that in publisher?
over the history of davinci they have never increased prices only decreased prices
This was very helpful! Thanks so much for the informative video.
I just bought the Affinity Suite for all platform because it's so much cheaper than the STUPID ADOBE subscription model, plus now ADOBE will have access and license to ALL YOUR work, public and PRIVATE!!!!!!!!!!! Crazy!!!!!!
they're now offering 50% discount.. quite timely now that adobe has decided to jump the shark.
I hope they develop a Lightroom alternative that integrates into Photo, that would be my dream come true.
Its 50% off right now!
Since this is still the funcionality in 2024, why is this better? Seems more difficult
❤
For me just the added feature of "bookks" in Pubisher is enough for me. I moved to V.2
Does Affinity Photo have the same capabilities as Photoshop Camera RAW Filter?
brilliant thanks
Canva should be celebrating every time Adobe decides to raise its prices.
They also have a 50% off sale rn
Just bought the master license and I’m SO happy to give them my money! Publisher is SOOO much better and more intuitive than indesign. Everything is so intuitively placed that I bareley needed to look up where 2 or 3 tools are
Good Video!
Do you know why there is almost no videos reviewing this app when it looks its a really fucking powerful and convenient app, also cheaper, also out of **** adobe.
I created a stamp but when I scale down to place on my map im having a massive loss in quality. Any ideas? I've adjusted the DPI but that doesn't seem to help.
Hi it’s me from the future. I’m a beginner coming from Curve. Bought AD2 for iPad. Seems like AD2F iPad has gotten more…feature-rich, I’ll say.😂
This was really helpful! Thank you. I'm in the process of seeing if I can swap from Adobe to Affinity so this has helped me get an understanding of the UI, The thing I need to get my head around next is the keyboard shortcuts 😅
Glad it helped!
50% discount right now , after Adobes recent duck up
Thank you so much for breaking this down for us!!
You are so welcome!
Waaaaaaay too fast a talker!
I am sorry but no one is alternative to InDesign. IND is Pro app. The rest of the ones you showed are programs for amateurs. These are not comparable. None of these programs can replace IND. Unfortunatelly :(
Thank you so much! So jam-packed with info and easy to understand.
Glad it was helpful!
I just purchased the Universal license
It’s all the panels that are not in the tool bar that I need.
can you talk a little faster?
I love that it was this fast, just wanted an overview and it was provided, thank you!!
Glad it was helpful!
Is Affinity V2 upgradable to V3 when it’s available or it’s a separate purchse to get the v3?
When you buy it you only get updates for V2. Will have to purchase again for V3, but still think it's worth it.
No I have never wondered if I can learn about Affinity Publisher in only 5 minutes. Honestly not. Sorry dude.
Strange choice to watch this video then…
@@bendesignsmedia Not at all, just because there is a clickbait title doesn't mean it can't contain any useful information. But I wasn't expecting to learn all about it in only 5min ofc.
This is a bizarre comment.
I was making a simple animation and used the clipping mask it didn’t work at all I don’t know what to do I thought my iPad crashed but it didn’t it just won’t work any help???
He talks so fast. good informative video though.
Thankgod for Affinity- my Adobe bill was costing me over $300 a year I finally ditched Illustrator for Affinity Designer
Currently ther is a lot AI tools - I witched to Affinity and DxO and AI - Adobe is the old school type of working:)
“ALL About The Brush Studio” and then I get to the end of the video and you say “I’m not going to look into how to create your own brush” which was the section I was after as I am trying to figure out why there are no sub brushes on the iPad version compared to the Windows version (V2) or if they are there where are they!
