Same. And Procreate has to be mentioned as well. So many illustrators and digital painters have completely abandoned Adobe just to use Procreate on an iPad that supports the Apple pencil. That software is straight-up awesome - and it's $10. Not a month, but a one time charge. And they've never charged for an update. After almost a decade, Adobe still hasn't seriously challenged that App despite tons of releases for iOS. They've gotten so lazy in the last few years, with very little innovation with the creative suite.
@@MarioMatosYT Yeah, I am using the same combo. Affinity Photo and Rawtherapee (foss raw editor) are a beastly combo. Used in conjunction, there is so much power to be had.
My school covers for Adobe and I also bought the Affinity suite. I like to switch between them, graphics design mainly on Illustrator, photos hoping and stuff in Affinity Photo.
The problem with pirating software is that you are signaling to the monopoly that produces it "this heap of shit is valuable enough that people want to steal it". While I disagree with equating the act of copying to the act of stealing, a monopoly sees it that way, and would rather you "steal" their stuff instead of pay for competing stuff. They like to tell you otherwise, but piracy benefits a company just as much as legal sales because it means you aren't supporting their enemy.
@@ScoobyShotU You literally just made that up, all studies have shown pirating is actually good for the industry because people who can pay do end up doing so for the ease of use compared to piracy.
Maybe surprising: but that is not an uncommon reason for companies to stick with software that is old/costs more/has better alternatives. I saw companies who are stuck to old products because the cost to transfer all there customizing/additons/macros/knowhow to new/better applications are too high. It's quiet a big pain point for them. Sometimes they pay big money to the manufacturer when product are end-of-life and they still need support/patches.
This is where I wish more video producers come together and sponsor open source projects so that eventually, Adobe _can_ be pitched to the curb. If the file support and features meet enough parity, it might gain them more potential in the long run
So producers should gather to support the alternatives so adobes products will improve or get cheaper and then what? everbody going back to adobe? the real problem imho is that most people are too lazy to use something the mainstream isn't using and that even schools use software nobody can afford in his first year of work.
It’s all fun and games until you’ve got a hard deadline for a video project in 12 hours and some idiot sends you a project in an unsupported format from his cheap editing software... if I’m about to lose a thousands of dollars because some idiot didn’t want to pay $56 a month for the base package of the entire creative suite you can bet someone’s head will roll and I’m going to warn all my creative buddies so they don’t get put in the same situation.
They literally did that test last year. Just doubled the monthly cost of Lightroom and Photoshop plans out of nowhere. Guess what, these cost more now. Deal with it.
@@JanPospisilArt CC 2020 and 21 do have a couple of really cool automation-tools. I can't say that Adobe sucks or that I don't miss those, but it's just not worth the price-tag. I'd pay 60 bucks for that software. Once. Not each month...
We do $250K+ p/a worth of video work with solely Resolve and a single $10K PC. Adobe is better in some areas, worse in others, ditching Adobe for Resolve isn't an issue and I hope more people do it constantly because subscription services is a bad future for creators.
I agree... I switched to Resolve the day I got my BMPCC6K. It was a bit difficult at the start but I am happy now. Left photojournalism to start a small production house, struggled a lot due to the pandemic, but things are much better now. But yes, subscription is such a bad idea. And we have two PCs :)
I’m happy a watched this because I was looking for a good video editing software to stitch together the animation I’m making in CSP so it can have a title and transition effects. DaVinci free is perfect for that and also can add audio... but this is all a new experience because I never did animation before and probably should of planned it all out more.
I have been editing in Premiere for like ten years, and been a Creative Cloud subscriber for at least seven. I finally got tired of dealing with Premiere's bugginess and switched to DaVinci Resolve. My editing speed went up, and the number of crashes I dealt with almost vanished entirely. When comparing two larger projects, the last one that I did in Premiere and the first one that I did in DaVinci Resolve, I had a total of seven crashes from Premiere, two of which corrupted the save file, resulting in lost work. DaVinci crashed only twice, and both times I was back up and running in a few seconds. That was over a year ago, and I still have never had a save file corrupted by DaVinci. Unfortunately, my attempts to replace Photoshop with GIMP were...amazingly frustrating. But at least I'm only giving Adobe 9.99 a month now, instead of 59.99.
I think alternatives from expensive programs are coming up these coming years. Affinity suite is a good alternative. Not perfect (not as big as adobe) but close ot it, with great devs that update a lot. No crash/lag using it. Wich photoshop have ALL the damn time. DV Resolve is clearly one of the best out there. It's even used all the time in the movie industry for color grading.
@@okiterukagetsu I went over and took a look at Affinity, and the pricing and feature set is definitely tempting me away from Photoshop. I might have to pick it up and use it in my next video and see how well it works. Fortunately I am not a PS power user, I mostly use it for cleaning up example photos, occasionally doing some light asset animation, and basic graphics to illustrate videos.
@@usp211816 I have tried repeatedly over the years to switch to Gimp and the interface and tools always trip me up. They are juuuuust close enough to PS to be confusing and non-intuitive to me.
When I heard Abode was switching to the Creative Cloud model I went straight to my campus's tech store and purchased the CS6 Master Collection with my student discount AND it happened to be on sale since they were liquidating all of their CS6 stuff. I am still using all it for editing to this day for 10 years now.
Lucky you, I did the same thing Yea, but greedy Adobe cut my paid over $500 CS6 suite off, even stopping the actual disk loading. They ask me to locate the seller, knowing it's hard to locate out-of-business resellers with who Adobe at the time DID register my software from the seller back then. Some were blaming Windows 10 later finding out it was Adobe that wants everyone to get on the CC paid subscription, especially after Adobe went public stock market made them unreasonably aggressive. Adobe doesn't care about making enemies, only $$$ money. Actually, they did me a favor because it forced me to try and learn other programs like free DaVinci resolve that I eventually paid for the Studio version and perpetual easier up-to-date Ai programs like Filmora, Affinity Photo, ''Luminar Neo from Ukraine'', inPixo, and a host of others. These programs may not have longevity user support established like Adobe Ps, AE, and Pr yet, but I'm very satisfied deleted all that I can with Adobe's name off of my computer, and encouraged as many as I can to do the same, and will never ever look back, use or buy Adobe again. Sorry for the rant but Adobe got me F*Cked up.
just gave up... it not like we can not survive with out linus channel... he dig the problem for themselves mading long wing video while we just don't want to watch that long... we just want a info not start a new country...
I'm a professional web dev and designer who dumped adobe for Affinity 2 years ago and I now look back every month and laugh with giddy joy. Affinity does not have all the capabilities of Photoshop and Illustrator. But it has everything I need. Definitely check em out people.
I just said exactly the same thing. 56 now, used Photo shop since 1993(Photostyler before that and Quantel Piantbox before Mac's existed) using Affinity Apps now and laughing at what a joy they are to use and how much I'm not paying Adobe. If you're using Photoshop now, you're a mug...in my opinion, as you have to say these days.
@@heyitslewi1599 Affinity is one-time purchase for each of the products in their suite of three (Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher which are their photo-editing, vector-illustrating and full desktop-publishing-for-print products). They're currently offering a 90 day free trial of the whole suite and 50% off the already really decent pricing. They're a UK company (Serif) who have been making creative-y software since, I think, the Windows 3.1 era - their old Serif PagePlus product was their best thing, before they cut off the old codebase and started from scratch to make the Affinity suite a number of years ago. Also, for regular personal-license purchases you're allowed to install the same license-purchase on ALL of your own personally-owned-and-controlled computers (although not across-platform - if you want to use it on both Mac and Windows personal machines you will need both licenses). I'm not a paid shill, I've just been using their stuff since that Windows 3.1 era - their business practises have always been respectful of customers, so I shout them from the rooftops because good software from good companies deserves some ❤.
One problem I had with Vegas, they took away the Disable Resample button in something like the non pro version. So I went back to my older version because they have it in there. I was shocked that they'd take that away especially when it makes your video look interlaced/artifacts when you press pause on a progessive video
They didnt remove it. They just made it hella harder to find. I dont see why they dont just remove the feature as a whole. There was a whole wave of UA-cam back in the day where you would literally be able to tell that someone used Vegas because of it.
When your best reason to feed a monster is "its quasi mandatory due to being an industry standard that no one else can implement due to the monster owning the patent rights" then you know something has gone terribly, terribly wrong with the world.
Seriously. I’m a freelancer and people only want projects delivered as Adobe files (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). I usually use bootleg versions but had to cave recently and get a subscription bc the bootleg versions weren’t functioning right for whatever reason. More businesses/companies should be open to using alternatives
Just a heads up, we switched to resolve at my studio and found ourselves more effective than in adobe^^ Teamwork is easier if you use a server and database, training and collab is easier with the common workflow and one of the reasons we switched is that Dynamic Link itself would frequently fail on us. You need to really commit and understand a different NLE to also see how janky Premiere is from the outside. We saved so many hours in technical bullshit by switching it's unreal. Most important thing is that you get the work done though, regardless of the software. I think that 90% estimate will vary wildly from person to person though :)
@de_Ultimate Hell to the yeah! That and HitFilm's mini DLC based expansions is also very nice. In the end, I use Davinci, but Hitfilm is my backup plan.
@de_Ultimate Best way I can describe it: Davinci is more like Premiere than Hitfilm is (to the point there is a profile containing all the same shortcuts). I do like Hitfilm's pricing model ($250 all out vs $5-$20 for what parts you actually need), which is why I still give it a lot of credit.
@@shivangswain Are you sure about that, I don't believe that is true..... I will Check for myself and update this comment accordingly. Update: No, it is not Open-Source, as I had originally suspected. For more information see the brief summary on the Wikipedia page found here: en(dot)wikipedia(dot)org/wiki/DaVinci_Resolve
I switched to the free version of Davinci Resolve about two years ago and I'm never looking back. Does 99% of what I need it to do and I haven't paid a dime. And it runs so much smoother than Premiere.
I am by no means a pro editor or even close to it but imo both have their issues too. I prefer editing in Davinci but the color tab just wont work for me. Each have their own bugs.
What sucks is that the free version does not have support for the NVenc or Intel Quick Sync for exports in h.264. Though Handbreak is very good and supports those 2 things.
And this is why I and pretty much everyone who isn't a true "professional" in that all their work revolves around it pirates their software. The price tag is just too ridiculous, like asking someone to pay 100 bucks for 1 cone of ice cream or 400 bucks for a pizza. What we need is companies that can truly compete with them and force down their prices. Honestly, I detest these "pay every month" or "pay every year" methods. If I buy something, it should be mine for life.
Barely anyone in the professional video uses adobe suite. Some after effects use. Mostly Nuke, Smoke, Maya, and even davinci resolve + fusion are getting used. After effects is a fucking nightmare on big projects. Node based programs work way better. Go check out Nuke's price tag lmao resolve and fusion have a much better work flow than adobe does, idk what linus is doing that he uses 30 different programs from adobe, they're not even the best available nor the best workflow.
These products are not made to be affordable for you pal... they don’t have to make it affordable either so you can keep posting CoD videos no ones watching
The way i see it, Adobe is like Apple when it comes to integration across devices (in this case purely software) and they're well known and usually amongst the first you hear about as a new artist , videographer, photographer etc. I first learned about and used Adobe in Highschool, it was essentially my gateway into these types of programs so i just stuck with it. I got used to it, they've got the same features as the competition more or less and most people don't really care to switch or even look into alternatives. So you kinda just get stuck paying with whatever subscription Adobe throws at you because you kind of don't have a choice. Here's my problem with Adobe. I get it, software isn't cheap to maintain and constantly update. You need some sort of constant revenue stream this day in age. Although i don't use the complete Adobe suite to it's fullest extent, i just find that Adobe spends unnecessary amounts of time trying to implement features we don't need or will never use or just completely add additional software that causes you more headaches than it should. (like the example about prelude linus mentioned) instead of focusing on areas where people could benefit from. Like overall performance optimizations and just straight up making their damn subscriptions more flexible for everyone. Here's my issue with their subscriptions. A. i'm paying for shit i don't even need. and B. i can't even use my subscription on all of my PC's because I'm gated by the amount of active subscriptions i can have at any point in time. It isn't uncommon for people to use and work from several computers at a time. in my use case, i have my office pc, home pc and laptop when i need to work on the go. For a while i was stuck with having to unlink my subscription on 1/2 of the PC's currently not being used to be able to use it on the 3rd and it was just a constant cycle of shuffling around my linked pc's in order to use adobe on more than 2 machines. So, i contacted adobe about it. Figured they'd be able to help me out. NOPE. They basically told me to go fuck myself and buy another subscription if i needed it on more than 2 computers. So after paying for adobe for years, spending WELL over what they used to charge to buy the programs. this is how customers are treated? They're told they need to buy the sub twice if they want it on several machines?. It just doesn't make sense. I'd wager that's exactly the reason why Linus is paying 10k a year because he's forced to pay for the same sub several times over because adobe refuses to make any sort of compromises. I'd also wager they'd increase revenue and reduce the amount of people pirating if they re-worked their subscription model because as of right now, it's a complete joke.
@ It is, although I don't think they know that. I'd bet Photoshop was one of the most pirated software back in the days of Photoshop 6, so everybody got familiar with it and then later bought it as they became professionals.
Doesn't he mean the other way around. If you are in a high production team it is too expensive to switch, but if you are alone and can spent the time it'll save you money?
Death to Adobe and software as a service! Before, they had to create compelling updates to persuade users to buy them, now they just coast along because the user doesn’t have a choice.
Pretty much all subscription service based softwares are like that and more and more software are turning into that path. The major players like microsoft is doing that on what they call office 365, subscription base + requires cloud.
@@441meatloaf And thus the market leaves room for new players to crop up and take over, like Affinity and Procreate (perhaps not video yet, as this video shows).
@@eobet Exactly! the free market solves all things. Eventually people will tire of Adobe and their practices, and others will take it's place....or not lol. It's the consumer that ultimately has the power...people tend to forget that. Support companies you want to see succeed by buying their products. That's the best way to ensure you end up with what you want.
If you pay for 3 apps, that's a higher cost than having all of them with the suite. So it doesn't really matter how segmented it is, the price is the same for someone like Linus.
My condolences for the pains you had to endure learning all those program interfaces. I'm a Vegas Pro user myself and enjoy the editing control levels over individual events, tracks, and entire project.
Ahhh remember the good ole days when buying a disc meant you paid for it once until they got money hungry and now every program is a subscription based product....effin stupid
@@guerra_dos_bichos Lmfao, @Guerra dos Bichos 🤣 what a sad comeback... The folks who wrote the Adobe code aren't gods, and neither are other devs, even if they might think so.. I, for one, already do 👍
The amount of work you guys put in every 10 seconds of this video is just blowing my mind.. im just speechless.. i feel like "good job" is too small of a saying for what you have done
I started using Resolve for work and personal production halfway through 2019 and haven't looked back. You'll still need access to After Effects for VFX and heavy comp work, and Photoshop/Illustrator for graphics, but other than that the Adobe Suite has nothing to offer to justify paying a subscription.
Fusion is arguably more powerful than After Effects - it's not as easy to use, but it's extremely fast, node-based and fully scriptable. Photoshop still definitely has the lead over Affinity Photo though.
Agree, the main problem is collaboration among designer/editors. Every client i used to work with are using Adobe eco system. If im the one using Affinity, Vegas, etc, i might loose the client due hard to pass the working file. We are stuck to Adobe eco system. That's why so many freelancer out there using the crack (pirate) version of it. They have no choice, either loosing business/income or invest to the creative/creators app tycoon. It's been dark painfull depress decade for us designer/creator, 1st Apple give us non-upgradable MacBook/iMac make us migrate to Windows machine, 2nd the GPU shortage all around the world due uprising of crypto mining, 3rd since Adobe introduce Adobe CC it been pain in the a** for us to pay the monthly/yearly service for the apps. Thanks to C-19 pandemic though, every company realize that, us designer/creators can work from home until now that every creator/designer dream job before. We make a sick PC desktop setup at home as a home office and have flexible time of work (as long as the job is delivered). Thanks to LTT channel on tips of the pc tech and etc. P/S: I would love to see a of LTT build video an ultimate color accurate fast rendering no lag PC in future plsssssss
@@hardlyhome314 price of shares doesn’t matter, it’s the sum of all the shares that matter. If Amazon has 10 shares at $100 per share they’re worth $1000 as a company and if adobe has 2 shares at $400 a share adobe is worth $800 as a company, so the stock price itself is deceptive.
It's actually better than adobe in so many ways. All of which were overlooked in this video. Like the main one is devinci will run seamlessly on low end pcs. while adobe is still a bugged out mess on high end pcs
one of resolve's biggest advantages is the dedicated hardware available from blackmagic, that's why it's so inexpensive, they make more money from the hardware.
Joel Guzman my laptop has an i5-7300HQ and a GTX 1060 6GB Max-Q. If I try to edit any 4K Davinci starts to lag A LOT, sometimes it freezes for 10 seconds, and other times it straight up *crashes.* I wouldn’t call that USABLE, not to mention seamless. Do you know how many times I lost my work because it just suddenly crashed? Yeah, me neither, but it must be over 15.
@Mariam Limpao shotcut is best basic you can do alot of things in shotcut such as colour grading, speeding clips , chroma key, i think you can't do speed ramping , but you can creat key frames, on the vfx side there is natron which also completely free and will do almost anything that after effects does and it is node based and the ui is like nuke.

@@akyhne Unfortunately, you're right. Affinity is just sooooo much better than Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. As for Davinci Resolve: I've almost never used Premiere Pro but when I did, I didn't feel at home. Davinci is so easy to learn. And I've never heard of someone regretting the change to Resolve. And I haven't heard of anyone wanting to switch away from Resolve
Affinity Photo has full PSD export now, and the integration between Photo, Designer, and Publisher is improving with every update. Adobe's days are numbered.
Adobe unlike every other alternative; has every kind of software a content creator can desire and they are integrated very well. Affinity on the other hand is no where as close
If you want just PS AI IND only then you have to get the full all programs bundle because otherwise you'd be paying about 60 bucks monthly opposed to 53 bucks iirc. While if you buy Affinity's PS AI IND alternatives then you pay once 50 bucks full price a program (disregarding the discounts that happen usually up to 50%, I got mine 35 bucks a program) with free updates until the app reaches version 2.0 or 3.0 and even then you can still use your version forever. I don't know how that can be considered a bad deal no matter how you look at it, from a graphic designer's perspective Affinity is a blessing.

the ending is a bit sad, that so many people are stuck paying to this big company and not being able to be agile and move to other software for a better price
He makes a good point. Everybody uses it and nobody wants to deal with some snowflake file type. There's a reason why publishers for example mostly only accept txt, rtf or doc (not even docx) and print companies only DVI or PDF (and mostly DVI). Suck it up or don't get your product out. I know that a few bigger financial companies still use tech from the 80s. Upgrading that tech costs money, you loose money because of the downtimes and then you still don't know if it's going to work, which potentially costs even more money. Therefore they keep the old tech running up until the last possible moment. The whole industry works like that, it always has been. Private people, aka those who watch this channel, are not the intended market for companies like Adobe. Another example: A big industrial player in Germany (can't disclose who) just placed an order at a small company I know. Price? 500 Million for two (small) machines with the option for two more and that's just procurement. There are multiple years of maintenance attached for additional millions of Euro. That's the reason why 10 grand per annum isn't really much in the enterprise space.
As long as you accept and admit that LTT is part of the subscription model problem and are actively refusing to be part of the solution. The only way to put a stop to these horrific business practices is to practice wide spread boycotts of them. We need to band together and tell MS, Adobe and anyone else who does a sub model their sales will be ~0 units per year until they stop. And they only listen to money.
that would be easy Photoshop -> Gimp, Illustratrator -> Inkscape, Lighroom -> Rawtherapee/Darktable, Animate -> Blender/Krita, After Effects -> Natron, Premiere Pro -> Kdenlive/Olive
@@INMARtv No, Olive will be the best but for now its Kdenlive because Olive is still alpha and Kdenlive has better tools for now. But I believe that Olive beat Kdenlive soon.

@@musicwithsagar The Affinity suite actually uses one file format for all of their software, you can switch between them as you please. Mind you that's a total of 3 apps with no video editing capabilities.
I was looking at software editors and I gotta admit, Da Vinci has really improved over the years. I actually like the layout, since it reminds me a lot of DAWs.
The biggest issue with "software as a service" is that it completely discourages developers from working on it. Adobe is the perfect example here. Illustrator still has bugs that it had on the 2015 version. But why would they spend resources fixing it? People don't use the newest Adobe program because it's better, they use it because they're forced to. You can't just "stick to the previous one" because you're subscription-bound to the new one. Any motivation for them to improve or fix the software is gone since it would have no effect on their revenue.
This is an issue of monopoly and not of software as a service. If anything, SaaS encourages them to continually improve their software. Since it's a subscription, there's not many strings attached and people can just go to the competitor. Unless it's a monopoly, which is the case of Adobe. On the other hand, for a pay-once software, why would they work to fix or improve the older version? Just keep working on the newest one, and if people want to migrate to it they will have to pay.
Yeah exactly, what Adobe's main issue is the complete lack of any need for quality assurance. They know that no matter what they do or how much they charge, they are the industry standard and they have their corner of the market by the balls, so people will still have to use their products. Quality assurance is becoming a very generally prevalent issue in corporations today, especially with technology based business. There is absolutely no desire for trust between consumer and company because the companies don't need it anymore.
It is always easier to build up a workflow from the ground up that trying to change some system that already kinda works. I have migrated all my workflow to free and open source alternatives 5 years ago, and for the projects I do, they are perfectly fine.
Do you recommend Affinity for a beginner that has only used MS paint for drawing? And is Affinity good for Windows 10 tablet PCs such as the Acer Spin? Does it have good performance on low-end devices?
As a video editor, I went from Adobe to DaVinci Resolve and I never looked back. With the addition to Fusion it even got better. I don't understand anyone who wouldn't jump to Resolve and it's actually what everyone is doing in the editing industry.
@@JSKR6 what's confusing with DaVinci? I ran into a couple of quirks, but after using both I can see DaVinci being significantly easier to pick up and use
Da Vinci and Affinity has both been updated since this video... It would be interesting to see an updated video about this, as I'm fairly certain that most of your issues has been... Resolved! ;D
Actually as someone who uses Davinci Resolve, you don't necessarily have to get the paid version. The main advantage that you get with the paid version is support for high fps export and some unique effects. Even if you don't buy it, there really isn't any lack of features. Plus some of the paid features do end up coming to the free version with updates. Plus it's very good even on low end devices. I started editing on my laptop with an 11th gen i3 and just 8 gigs of ram, and Davinci still ran pretty well
Wow, I just came across this video and it floored me. Thanks for producing this. A few years back I asked myself the same question after getting royally ripped off by subscribing to Adobe CC when I started doing more freelance work. My work is different from what's done here at Linus Tech Tips as I produce a lot of layout, graphic design, illustration and animation for print as well as the web. After years of testing and research, I put together a creative suite that's 100% subscription free that works great for my needs. I have no intention of going back to Adobe unless I'm paid to do it and the client provides the hardware and software. Fortunately, I've been able to save various projects in .PSD format as well as .svg/.eps files (most relevant, requested formats from clients) with active layers even though I'm not using Adobe software. For 2D animation I invested in Clip Studio EX (before they went subscription) and SketchBook Pro 7. Clip Studio has far more robust 2D animation tools but Sketchbook Pro 7 is easier to work with. I also use Amberlight by Escape Motions which is a really cool abstract animation package that can produce high quality results fairly easily. I was able to create and render a sample video on a Surface Pro 3 without problems years ago when I first tested out the application. For 3D animation, I use Blender. The learning curve is steep but the quality of the results are really good. Even better, it's free! For Audio Creation/Editing, I own a Roland Fantom G6 and a Roland FA-08 that can handle a large number of my audio needs and both are combined with CakeWalk for PC as a hard disk audio recording/editing solution. For minor quickie edits I use Audio Director/Wave Editor. For Graphic Design I bought the full Affinity Suite. Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher. Also for Graphic Design/Layout I took the plunge and bought Quark 2016/ upgraded to 2017. Big mistake here though, potentially it's good software but there are bugs that have yet to be addressed, especially bugs specific to Surface Pro devices which pointed me back to Affinity with Publisher. Even worse, I'm no stranger to Quark but after all these years, support is still questionable not to mention that price. OUCH! For Digital Illustration, I swear by Rebelle 3 and ArtRage 6. Two of the absolute best digital creative tools I've ever used and my experience goes back to the Amiga era using DeluxePaint III/IV/AGA and True Brilliance. I was traditionally trained before switching to digital illustration so preserving some of the look and feel of traditional medium in various digital projects is very important to me. I've used both packages for many years now. Sketchbook Pro 7/Sketchbook Pro Mobile, Clip Studio EX and Sketchable (Windows 10 Store) are all great applications too for sketching, comic book art, character design and illustration. For image processing, I used Photo Director for a few years. It's good but requires approaching projects differently than one would with Photoshop or Affinity Photo. But I ultimately went with Affinity Photo using Photo Director for specific projects. For Video Editing, I use Power Director as it has all of the basic tools I need as well as some advanced features that are much appreciated without the need to subscribe. I fully understand mileage varies based on needs of the individual or studio in question. But for my personal needs, after a lot of time and money invested to see exactly what could be done for a reasonable price this software collection as well as others that aren't relevant to this video have served me so well that I haven't missed Adobe's offerings since canceling my CC subscription years ago.
I've worked broadcasting and graphic design for over 10 years using Adobe products. I've completely switched to using Affinity Products, Di Vinci Resolve and Blender in the last 4 years and still going strong.

This is why I’m cheering for companies like Affinity. Great software, normal prices.
Me to. I love Affinity to death. If I was a billionaire, I'd buy it once a day, and 'accidentally' lose my product key each night.
Same here. Affinity, Resolve and open-source FTW
Same. And Procreate has to be mentioned as well. So many illustrators and digital painters have completely abandoned Adobe just to use Procreate on an iPad that supports the Apple pencil. That software is straight-up awesome - and it's $10. Not a month, but a one time charge. And they've never charged for an update. After almost a decade, Adobe still hasn't seriously challenged that App despite tons of releases for iOS. They've gotten so lazy in the last few years, with very little innovation with the creative suite.
@@MarioMatosYT Yeah, I am using the same combo. Affinity Photo and Rawtherapee (foss raw editor) are a beastly combo. Used in conjunction, there is so much power to be had.
My school covers for Adobe and I also bought the Affinity suite. I like to switch between them, graphics design mainly on Illustrator, photos hoping and stuff in Affinity Photo.

The problem with pirating software is that you are signaling to the monopoly that produces it "this heap of shit is valuable enough that people want to steal it". While I disagree with equating the act of copying to the act of stealing, a monopoly sees it that way, and would rather you "steal" their stuff instead of pay for competing stuff.
They like to tell you otherwise, but piracy benefits a company just as much as legal sales because it means you aren't supporting their enemy.

Reason #1 to stick with Adobe: Taran won't have to spend 3 months rewriting all the macros
hahahaha
Taran has stated that he's willing to switch to DV resolve years ago. I think back when it was DV 12 or 13?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
$10k für 3 month rewriting macros... Not the best salary in the world, but definitely not bad.
Would pay for itself the second year...
Maybe surprising: but that is not an uncommon reason for companies to stick with software that is old/costs more/has better alternatives. I saw companies who are stuck to old products because the cost to transfer all there customizing/additons/macros/knowhow to new/better applications are too high. It's quiet a big pain point for them. Sometimes they pay big money to the manufacturer when product are end-of-life and they still need support/patches.
"Before the dark times, before software as a service."
Truely the dark times.
Lol
"As A Service" is a plague, I work in the industry and I hate it.
I'm sincere with those Holy Americans that also paid 10k a year for a piece of buggy software. Why license a software like a driving license. Bruh.
i will never pay for software (except video games i’m fine with that)
Now we have video games "as a service" as well.
This is where I wish more video producers come together and sponsor open source projects so that eventually, Adobe _can_ be pitched to the curb. If the file support and features meet enough parity, it might gain them more potential in the long run
So producers should gather to support the alternatives so adobes products will improve or get cheaper and then what? everbody going back to adobe? the real problem imho is that most people are too lazy to use something the mainstream isn't using and that even schools use software nobody can afford in his first year of work.
It has been done with 3d animation (Blender), Im surprised it isn't being done with video software.

@@fernandocamarillo3710 resolve relies more on gpu than the adobe suite. What are your specs?
I have been editing in Premiere for like ten years, and been a Creative Cloud subscriber for at least seven. I finally got tired of dealing with Premiere's bugginess and switched to DaVinci Resolve. My editing speed went up, and the number of crashes I dealt with almost vanished entirely. When comparing two larger projects, the last one that I did in Premiere and the first one that I did in DaVinci Resolve, I had a total of seven crashes from Premiere, two of which corrupted the save file, resulting in lost work. DaVinci crashed only twice, and both times I was back up and running in a few seconds. That was over a year ago, and I still have never had a save file corrupted by DaVinci.
Unfortunately, my attempts to replace Photoshop with GIMP were...amazingly frustrating. But at least I'm only giving Adobe 9.99 a month now, instead of 59.99.
I think alternatives from expensive programs are coming up these coming years. Affinity suite is a good alternative. Not perfect (not as big as adobe) but close ot it, with great devs that update a lot. No crash/lag using it. Wich photoshop have ALL the damn time.
DV Resolve is clearly one of the best out there. It's even used all the time in the movie industry for color grading.

Lucky you, I did the same thing Yea, but greedy Adobe cut my paid over $500 CS6 suite off, even stopping the actual disk loading. They ask me to locate the seller, knowing it's hard to locate out-of-business resellers with who Adobe at the time DID register my software from the seller back then. Some were blaming Windows 10 later finding out it was Adobe that wants everyone to get on the CC paid subscription, especially after Adobe went public stock market made them unreasonably aggressive. Adobe doesn't care about making enemies, only $$$ money. Actually, they did me a favor because it forced me to try and learn other programs like free DaVinci resolve that I eventually paid for the Studio version and perpetual easier up-to-date Ai programs like Filmora, Affinity Photo, ''Luminar Neo from Ukraine'', inPixo, and a host of others. These programs may not have longevity user support established like Adobe Ps, AE, and Pr yet, but I'm very satisfied deleted all that I can with Adobe's name off of my computer, and encouraged as many as I can to do the same, and will never ever look back, use or buy Adobe again.

I'm a professional web dev and designer who dumped adobe for Affinity 2 years ago and I now look back every month and laugh with giddy joy. Affinity does not have all the capabilities of Photoshop and Illustrator. But it has everything I need. Definitely check em out people.
DaVinci resolve for VFX, audio AND editing, EVEN color grading. It's all in one then just get affinity photo/ designer.
Affinity designer is straight up better as a drawing app compared to illustrator. For the work I do it's a combo of Affinity and Sketch nowadays
Is it a one time purchase or a subscription
I just said exactly the same thing. 56 now, used Photo shop since 1993(Photostyler before that and Quantel Piantbox before Mac's existed) using Affinity Apps now and laughing at what a joy they are to use and how much I'm not paying Adobe. If you're using Photoshop now, you're a mug...in my opinion, as you have to say these days.
@@heyitslewi1599 Affinity is one-time purchase for each of the products in their suite of three (Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher which are their photo-editing, vector-illustrating and full desktop-publishing-for-print products). They're currently offering a 90 day free trial of the whole suite and 50% off the already really decent pricing. They're a UK company (Serif) who have been making creative-y software since, I think, the Windows 3.1 era - their old Serif PagePlus product was their best thing, before they cut off the old codebase and started from scratch to make the Affinity suite a number of years ago. Also, for regular personal-license purchases you're allowed to install the same license-purchase on ALL of your own personally-owned-and-controlled computers (although not across-platform - if you want to use it on both Mac and Windows personal machines you will need both licenses). I'm not a paid shill, I've just been using their stuff since that Windows 3.1 era - their business practises have always been respectful of customers, so I shout them from the rooftops because good software from good companies deserves some ❤.
One problem I had with Vegas, they took away the Disable Resample button in something like the non pro version. So I went back to my older version because they have it in there. I was shocked that they'd take that away especially when it makes your video look interlaced/artifacts when you press pause on a progessive video
for me, it's having version 14 and they disabled GPU acceleration on older versions
That's weird because I have "Disable resample" option in a drop-down menu in the Project Properties window. I'm using Vegas Edit 20.
They didnt remove it. They just made it hella harder to find. I dont see why they dont just remove the feature as a whole. There was a whole wave of UA-cam back in the day where you would literally be able to tell that someone used Vegas because of it.

Just a heads up, we switched to resolve at my studio and found ourselves more effective than in adobe^^ Teamwork is easier if you use a server and database, training and collab is easier with the common workflow and one of the reasons we switched is that Dynamic Link itself would frequently fail on us. You need to really commit and understand a different NLE to also see how janky Premiere is from the outside. We saved so many hours in technical bullshit by switching it's unreal. Most important thing is that you get the work done though, regardless of the software. I think that 90% estimate will vary wildly from person to person though :)

I am by no means a pro editor or even close to it but imo both have their issues too. I prefer editing in Davinci but the color tab just wont work for me. Each have their own bugs.

The way i see it, Adobe is like Apple when it comes to integration across devices (in this case purely software) and they're well known and usually amongst the first you hear about as a new artist , videographer, photographer etc. I first learned about and used Adobe in Highschool, it was essentially my gateway into these types of programs so i just stuck with it. I got used to it, they've got the same features as the competition more or less and most people don't really care to switch or even look into alternatives. So you kinda just get stuck paying with whatever subscription Adobe throws at you because you kind of don't have a choice.
Here's my problem with Adobe. I get it, software isn't cheap to maintain and constantly update. You need some sort of constant revenue stream this day in age. Although i don't use the complete Adobe suite to it's fullest extent, i just find that Adobe spends unnecessary amounts of time trying to implement features we don't need or will never use or just completely add additional software that causes you more headaches than it should. (like the example about prelude linus mentioned) instead of focusing on areas where people could benefit from. Like overall performance optimizations and just straight up making their damn subscriptions more flexible for everyone.
Here's my issue with their subscriptions. A. i'm paying for shit i don't even need. and B. i can't even use my subscription on all of my PC's because I'm gated by the amount of active subscriptions i can have at any point in time. It isn't uncommon for people to use and work from several computers at a time. in my use case, i have my office pc, home pc and laptop when i need to work on the go. For a while i was stuck with having to unlink my subscription on 1/2 of the PC's currently not being used to be able to use it on the 3rd and it was just a constant cycle of shuffling around my linked pc's in order to use adobe on more than 2 machines. So, i contacted adobe about it. Figured they'd be able to help me out. NOPE. They basically told me to go fuck myself and buy another subscription if i needed it on more than 2 computers.
So after paying for adobe for years, spending WELL over what they used to charge to buy the programs. this is how customers are treated? They're told they need to buy the sub twice if they want it on several machines?. It just doesn't make sense. I'd wager that's exactly the reason why Linus is paying 10k a year because he's forced to pay for the same sub several times over because adobe refuses to make any sort of compromises. I'd also wager they'd increase revenue and reduce the amount of people pirating if they re-worked their subscription model because as of right now, it's a complete joke.
Soooo unless you’re making money off your content, you’re saying everyone else should pirate photoshop like they always have? Gotcha.
Exactly
Wouldn't be surprised if antiprivacy software is the reason it crashes so often.
Or you can get gimp
@ It is, although I don't think they know that. I'd bet Photoshop was one of the most pirated software back in the days of Photoshop 6, so everybody got familiar with it and then later bought it as they became professionals.
Doesn't he mean the other way around. If you are in a high production team it is too expensive to switch, but if you are alone and can spent the time it'll save you money?
Death to Adobe and software as a service! Before, they had to create compelling updates to persuade users to buy them, now they just coast along because the user doesn’t have a choice.

I started using Resolve for work and personal production halfway through 2019 and haven't looked back. You'll still need access to After Effects for VFX and heavy comp work, and Photoshop/Illustrator for graphics, but other than that the Adobe Suite has nothing to offer to justify paying a subscription.
What about Affinity suite? I heard they are very good. Fusion or Nuke X are capable of doing compositing and VFX work.
Fusion is arguably more powerful than After Effects - it's not as easy to use, but it's extremely fast, node-based and fully scriptable. Photoshop still definitely has the lead over Affinity Photo though.
"... that is why you should check out our sponsor: Adobe... Wait, what?"
Agree, the main problem is collaboration among designer/editors. Every client i used to work with are using Adobe eco system. If im the one using Affinity, Vegas, etc, i might loose the client due hard to pass the working file. We are stuck to Adobe eco system.

Adobe: You could not live with your own failure, where did that bring you, *back to me*
To thanos
The real question is, what tf does adobe do with the money? Cause lord knows they don't use it to develop software anymore
if they have shareholders it is very likely they get first cut of the pie, and with a big knife.
@@Invaderzim2004 they are $400 a share
i mean they have to bathe in something, right?
@@cysteater wipe their ass with, more like
@@hardlyhome314 price of shares doesn’t matter, it’s the sum of all the shares that matter. If Amazon has 10 shares at $100 per share they’re worth $1000 as a company and if adobe has 2 shares at $400 a share adobe is worth $800 as a company, so the stock price itself is deceptive.
Finally davinci resolve is getting some recognition
So true. When I started using it it was known as the king of free editing software. Now people compare it to Adobe and final cut products.
They're also LMG videos. No one cares about their color grading or editing all that much. You watch it on a small ass phone.
It's actually better than adobe in so many ways. All of which were overlooked in this video. Like the main one is devinci will run seamlessly on low end pcs. while adobe is still a bugged out mess on high end pcs
one of resolve's biggest advantages is the dedicated hardware available from blackmagic, that's why it's so inexpensive, they make more money from the hardware.
Joel Guzman my laptop has an i5-7300HQ and a GTX 1060 6GB Max-Q. If I try to edit any 4K Davinci starts to lag A LOT, sometimes it freezes for 10 seconds, and other times it straight up *crashes.* I wouldn’t call that USABLE, not to mention seamless.
Do you know how many times I lost my work because it just suddenly crashed? Yeah, me neither, but it must be over 15.

Dang, Taran would have freaked out because his hotkeys would no longer work with DaVinci Resolve.

Taran is the reason they would never change software package, even to a better solution.
He has list of feature requests and bugs yet to be fixed for Adobe Premiere Pro.
@@akyhne Unfortunately, you're right. Affinity is just sooooo much better than Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. As for Davinci Resolve: I've almost never used Premiere Pro but when I did, I didn't feel at home. Davinci is so easy to learn. And I've never heard of someone regretting the change to Resolve. And I haven't heard of anyone wanting to switch away from Resolve
Affinity Photo has full PSD export now, and the integration between Photo, Designer, and Publisher is improving with every update. Adobe's days are numbered.
Adobe unlike every other alternative; has every kind of software a content creator can desire and they are integrated very well. Affinity on the other hand is no where as close
@@kym.7689 Well, I'll take a slightly smaller feature set in return for not having to pay a subscription fee forever.
That "Slightly" is soo far from the reality
If you want just PS AI IND only then you have to get the full all programs bundle because otherwise you'd be paying about 60 bucks monthly opposed to 53 bucks iirc.
While if you buy Affinity's PS AI IND alternatives then you pay once 50 bucks full price a program (disregarding the discounts that happen usually up to 50%, I got mine 35 bucks a program) with free updates until the app reaches version 2.0 or 3.0 and even then you can still use your version forever.
I don't know how that can be considered a bad deal no matter how you look at it, from a graphic designer's perspective Affinity is a blessing.

Great video. P.S. After being an avarage watcher, I've developed a sixth sense, the sense for segways for sponsors.
Imagine if just a fraction of the money spent on Adobe, was spent instead on developing GIMP.

The free version is limited at full HD. I think that you can import an 4k video but you can't export it.

I mean you could get adobe products for free if you sail the sea if you know what I mean 😏
He makes a good point. Everybody uses it and nobody wants to deal with some snowflake file type. There's a reason why publishers for example mostly only accept txt, rtf or doc (not even docx) and print companies only DVI or PDF (and mostly DVI). Suck it up or don't get your product out.
I know that a few bigger financial companies still use tech from the 80s. Upgrading that tech costs money, you loose money because of the downtimes and then you still don't know if it's going to work, which potentially costs even more money. Therefore they keep the old tech running up until the last possible moment.
The whole industry works like that, it always has been. Private people, aka those who watch this channel, are not the intended market for companies like Adobe.
Another example: A big industrial player in Germany (can't disclose who) just placed an order at a small company I know. Price? 500 Million for two (small) machines with the option for two more and that's just procurement. There are multiple years of maintenance attached for additional millions of Euro.
That's the reason why 10 grand per annum isn't really much in the enterprise space.
Me who uses pirated version of Adobe : interesting
Mr. ThundeR ok
Me too and probably half of all Adobe suite users lol

*knock-knock* ADOBE, OPEN UP!
As long as you accept and admit that LTT is part of the subscription model problem and are actively refusing to be part of the solution. The only way to put a stop to these horrific business practices is to practice wide spread boycotts of them. We need to band together and tell MS, Adobe and anyone else who does a sub model their sales will be ~0 units per year until they stop. And they only listen to money.
It would be cool to see a version of this "challenge" with only Open Source software.
that would be easy Photoshop -> Gimp, Illustratrator -> Inkscape, Lighroom -> Rawtherapee/Darktable, Animate -> Blender/Krita, After Effects -> Natron, Premiere Pro -> Kdenlive/Olive

Been on a long break from techtubers, but I just had to drop by and say this: Your new intro is awesome! :D
Would have loved it if instead he said:
"You should check out our sponsor, Adobe"
Funny thing was the starting advert I seen was from adobe... lol
I was looking at software editors and I gotta admit, Da Vinci has really improved over the years. I actually like the layout, since it reminds me a lot of DAWs.
The biggest issue with "software as a service" is that it completely discourages developers from working on it. Adobe is the perfect example here. Illustrator still has bugs that it had on the 2015 version. But why would they spend resources fixing it? People don't use the newest Adobe program because it's better, they use it because they're forced to. You can't just "stick to the previous one" because you're subscription-bound to the new one.
Any motivation for them to improve or fix the software is gone since it would have no effect on their revenue.
This is an issue of monopoly and not of software as a service. If anything, SaaS encourages them to continually improve their software. Since it's a subscription, there's not many strings attached and people can just go to the competitor. Unless it's a monopoly, which is the case of Adobe.
On the other hand, for a pay-once software, why would they work to fix or improve the older version? Just keep working on the newest one, and if people want to migrate to it they will have to pay.
Yeah exactly, what Adobe's main issue is the complete lack of any need for quality assurance. They know that no matter what they do or how much they charge, they are the industry standard and they have their corner of the market by the balls, so people will still have to use their products. Quality assurance is becoming a very generally prevalent issue in corporations today, especially with technology based business. There is absolutely no desire for trust between consumer and company because the companies don't need it anymore.
This is an issue of Adobe being the default and there being no competition, rather than software as a service.

Actually as someone who uses Davinci Resolve, you don't necessarily have to get the paid version. The main advantage that you get with the paid version is support for high fps export and some unique effects. Even if you don't buy it, there really isn't any lack of features. Plus some of the paid features do end up coming to the free version with updates. Plus it's very good even on low end devices. I started editing on my laptop with an 11th gen i3 and just 8 gigs of ram, and Davinci still ran pretty well
For a professional workflow you definitely need the paid version.

When I get an Adobe advert on this video: oh yeah, that's DEFINITELY what this video is all about.
Adobe: You couldn't live with your own failures. And where does that lead you..., back to me. ✊
Wow, I just came across this video and it floored me. Thanks for producing this. A few years back I asked myself the same question after getting royally ripped off by subscribing to Adobe CC when I started doing more freelance work. My work is different from what's done here at Linus Tech Tips as I produce a lot of layout, graphic design, illustration and animation for print as well as the web. After years of testing and research, I put together a creative suite that's 100% subscription free that works great for my needs. I have no intention of going back to Adobe unless I'm paid to do it and the client provides the hardware and software. Fortunately, I've been able to save various projects in .PSD format as well as .svg/.eps files (most relevant, requested formats from clients) with active layers even though I'm not using Adobe software.
For 2D animation I invested in Clip Studio EX (before they went subscription) and SketchBook Pro 7. Clip Studio has far more robust 2D animation tools but Sketchbook Pro 7 is easier to work with. I also use Amberlight by Escape Motions which is a really cool abstract animation package that can produce high quality results fairly easily. I was able to create and render a sample video on a Surface Pro 3 without problems years ago when I first tested out the application.
For 3D animation, I use Blender. The learning curve is steep but the quality of the results are really good. Even better, it's free!
For Audio Creation/Editing, I own a Roland Fantom G6 and a Roland FA-08 that can handle a large number of my audio needs and both are combined with CakeWalk for PC as a hard disk audio recording/editing solution. For minor quickie edits I use Audio Director/Wave Editor.
For Graphic Design I bought the full Affinity Suite. Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher.
Also for Graphic Design/Layout I took the plunge and bought Quark 2016/ upgraded to 2017. Big mistake here though, potentially it's good software but there are bugs that have yet to be addressed, especially bugs specific to Surface Pro devices which pointed me back to Affinity with Publisher. Even worse, I'm no stranger to Quark but after all these years, support is still questionable not to mention that price. OUCH!
For Digital Illustration, I swear by Rebelle 3 and ArtRage 6. Two of the absolute best digital creative tools I've ever used and my experience goes back to the Amiga era using DeluxePaint III/IV/AGA and True Brilliance. I was traditionally trained before switching to digital illustration so preserving some of the look and feel of traditional medium in various digital projects is very important to me. I've used both packages for many years now. Sketchbook Pro 7/Sketchbook Pro Mobile, Clip Studio EX and Sketchable (Windows 10 Store) are all great applications too for sketching, comic book art, character design and illustration.
For image processing, I used Photo Director for a few years. It's good but requires approaching projects differently than one would with Photoshop or Affinity Photo. But I ultimately went with Affinity Photo using Photo Director for specific projects.
For Video Editing, I use Power Director as it has all of the basic tools I need as well as some advanced features that are much appreciated without the need to subscribe.
I fully understand mileage varies based on needs of the individual or studio in question. But for my personal needs, after a lot of time and money invested to see exactly what could be done for a reasonable price this software collection as well as others that aren't relevant to this video have served me so well that I haven't missed Adobe's offerings since canceling my CC subscription years ago.
