- Today I cover one of the largest updates to Adobe Software that will change the way motion graphics artists design. At the Adobe MAX 2023 Conference, their team revealed a new AI tool called "Text-to-Vector". I explain what it is, how to use it, and how it will change motion graphics moving forward.

I used this the other day to help me build a logo, and I can’t explain how frustrating it was to use. First, it made everything far too complicated, with lots of different shapes and colours within. Second, the prompt language was very difficult to figure out. I eventually gave up, and used my iPad to sketch what I wanted, which was infinitely faster. I think it has a long way to go and at Adobe‘s pace I think it will take a few years.
Had the same experience with PS Generative Fill last week.
I think you don't understand the application, it's not a logo making tool : D
"at Adobe's pace" man have you seen the amount of AI Tools they developed in the past few months and how good they've become already? Also the thing with AI is that it gets better the more its being used, meaning this will AI will probably know really well what the users want in a few months from now
They’ll forget this tool… then add another tool and another… Meanwhile the basics that affect professional workflow are stuck in the nineties

HUGE PIECE OF ADVICE FOR YOU BRO: Move your autocue further away, that way your eyes aren't scanning so much...failing that use a mobile phone for the script so your scanning isn't so prominent. Great video my man!
thanks for the advice! i usually have it farther away but wanted to keep the same composition as previous videos. im moving locations to a new “set” and going to factor that in with my new setup. :)
This is how graphic design ends, to thunderous applause...
No one cares. Shiny new toys!!!
Graphic design is not only about logos. It also includes photo composting and different texts and shading, bringing different photos together and many more.
If you're not really creative and refuse to learn how to use new tools then yes, graphic design is dead.
1:50 part of the story told in a high quality animation project is the assets the animator uses. perhaps often motion designers use bought or readymade elements to 'tell their story'. I'm personally a graphic designer and a motion graphic designer and all my work is made up of assets I myself created originally. I think there's something somewhat confusing in saying 'use these tools to tell a better story'. I don't think you'd get to tell a better story by using non original elements. I do think you'll work faster, you're workflow will be easier, and you'd be able to focus better on the animation side of things. that might suit certain projects and don't get me wrong, I'm not here to advocate against AI tools that make our lives easier and simplify our workflow. all I'm saying is that those assets are the DNA of the story that you tell as a designer. designing a project from the ground up and 'taking hours to design elements and backgrounds', even those that you'd end up not using, is the basic principle of the process of design. the creative process the designer undertakes as they get familiar with the grounds of their project and stretch their creative thinking to new limits. it's like pregnancy-it's long and tedious and mistakes and faffing about are inevitable. but this is what results in the best story that you have told. the original story of you or your client.
this is just my opinion. I'm not here to take the piss. these are the building blocks that I consider important in my creative process personally and this is also what's important to the people I work with. that everything has our original touch on it. I understand and respect that not every client or creator shares this approach...
First off just want to give you credit for getting on here and sharing your opinion in depth. So many just want to throw a oneliner and leave. There are so many aspects i relate to in terms of you talking about your personal creative process and who you work for and what they value. I think you said it perfectly that some clients value the price over product and are willing to sacrifice the quality of their product. In terms of brainstorming, i think this is where this tool will come into play for me. But look forward to see where it goes.
no doubt. I've used AI for brainstorming a lot lately. for coming up with new ideas for my illustrations, it can inspire me in both the context level as well as visual like coming up with new compositions. these tools are undoubtedly a valuable asset in the toolkit of a creative professional. but I feel they both have the power to spur and expand our creativity but can also allow us to be lazy and provide shortcuts in the creative thinking process which naturally takes time and involves sometimes frustrating trial and error.
@@YotamGuttman Perfect response. Agree Completely
There's isn't many if clients ready to pay for the process you described.
@@imiy Its still in the elementary stages for sure, but if we don't gain knowledge about these tools now, we will be caught off guard once some of these tools or future tools become industry standard.
Newest worlkflow update: everything done with one voice prompt! In multiple versions!. The only job available is to decide which design is the best for your client, twitch the design to you clinet's whim via a prompt, and -most importantly- try to convince potential clients that they have no judgement and you do via social media. Surely there will be some who will be real artists at this, but for some reason all these future changes makes me kind of sad/mad. Maybe I shouldn't be.
This is AI text prompt to vector graphics in Illustrator. Plus restyling of existing vector graphics in a style defined by an AI prompt.
That took less than 10 seconds to read. The video took 90 seconds to get to that point.
Notice how making a video wasn’t the most efficient way of getting that information across. Text is. Video is much better for demoing and exploring implications.
WOW! I didn't know about this feature. Thanks!!!
Yea, it's pretty cool. Definitely check it out
So where exactly is this AI pulling from for these word prompts?
I remember having to *opt out* of Adobes use of your stuff for AI. They wouldn't do an *opt in* because no one would willingly do so. Deviant Art got backlash for a similar setup. That's where I draw the line for AI use. People can copy all they want but they are limited by their own human capabilities. But its alright for these corporations to steal *everything* even remotely public to feed their massive machine? It wasn't even a decade ago that corporations sued for people even mimicking their their stuff. Why don't individuals get that same protection for their artwork?
Cool video, much appreciated!
Thanks for the support! Really appreciate it
I saw this when I opened Illustrator last week and my mind EXPLODED.
pretty nutz right
I will be happy on a day when adobe add animation option in Illustrator.
hahaha that would be crazy
I might be wrong, but it seems that the generated vector is essentially the same as what Firefly produces, except it's been converted into a vector format after generation.
yeah he is hyped with nothing XD
Yea im not sure what they plan on doing with their naming conventions, but its seems like adobe firefly is just the name of all the ai tools they are implementing into their softwares
@@djkerr Sure, but what I mean is that they might not be directly generating vector images. Instead, it's possible that they are generating raster images and then converting them into vectors, potentially using an automated background removal process as well.
@@estrangeiroemtodaparte Oh interesting. Yea I have no clue what their backend process is for how they are generating these responses. The only thing they have publicly come out and said is that their engine is trained on licensed content they already own "Adobe Stock". And PiXemperfect has a great video on how they are going to limit generations and pay content creators who contribute to adobe stock. Pretty interesting from a legal standpoint
Meaning we can do this ourselves with A1111 I suppose, I think Adobe will have a hard time converting everyone to use their PAID CREDITS system for this because they can essesially be made free, and not only that - you can train your own model and then have the model generate new ideas based on your style. Without giving a dime to Adobe and doing it all locally! :) All you need is about 6GB VRAM for the lowest end and about 12GB VRAM for the recommended spec! Good luck to all, whichever you choose!
Just tried and the results were pretty damm good!
Yea if you get the keywords correct you get some great results
this would be a total game changer if i could make a character and use the generative AI to keep the character consistent but change their pose, face, etc
agreed
Just tried to generate an "oud" and Adobe claims it violates their terms. Not interested in this constant connection and wildly incorrect flagging of violations. Last thing I need is to get banned and flagged because of poorly designed AI, with little ability to interact with a real person to settle the issue. This is kinda the canary in the coal mine in my opinion of a very frustrating future of dealing with corporate bots dictating our access to tools in our lives.
Interesting! I'm curious to know if Jpeg to vector is implemented yet using ai ?
They do have an image trace feature which can turn images to vector files in different ways. Not sure if Ai could help enhance that. Interesting idea
just a heads up I'm pretty sure this gonna be behind the generative credit paywall
yea since its still in beta it will definitely be a part of their larger paywall program.
can u upload a photo youve drawn and have it make it into vector/add colour itself?
that feature you can already do with the image trace feature. sometimes it works really well but for the most part i usually use my drawings as a reference in illustrator and make a cleaner version hand made. Havent tried using this for that purpose specifically
Generative Fill but in Illustrator?
In short yes
yea basically lol
There has a been a software I was using 10+ years ago called VECTOR MAGIC that took pixels and converted to vectors. Old tech but packaged in a nice way!
But what are your thoughts? How does this influence motion design? I see how it is a big deal for graphic design, but I missed the motion part.
Because most 2D motion designers create their assets or items in illustrator first to then animate in after effects. Huge deal for motion design
I find the Illustrator/After Effects workflow interesting, only because I have never done it. My workflow has always been Photoshop/After Effects, for 10+ years now. Possibly I am missing out on something, but I have yet to figure out exactly what that is. @@djkerr
Why no one is talking about the limitations of generative AI usages per month???
I was trying to do something with firefly and I run out of generative AI usage. I couldn't finish at least one task.
If I had an adobe subscription, this should be unlimited. I'm too disappointed from adobe, as usual...
Yea there are definitely limitations to this tool, but so are most creative projects. You are given a task with limitations and you need to figure out how to fly with limited supplies and constraints. There is a channel called PixEmperfect that talks about all the limitations to firefly through adobe. I just decided to focus on the exciting innovations that are happening within the software
Hi, please make more AE video tutorials, don't stop.
I got a new one coming your way! Don’t you worry :) Thanks for the support!
@@djkerr Thank you 😊
@@clouds2593 No thank you for your support!
are you using a teleprompter by any chance?
i usually dont but for this video i did
@@djkerr I am thinking about buying one but i guess there is a way of talking that doesn't make it noticable, right?
do you know the meaning of "Motion"?
So basically what you saying is that you don't need to do creative creative or design work anymore. You just going to polishing something that "ai" churned out.
Also this telling a story part is become so much more tired with each passing month. Like, do you storytelling really require a custom visual representation if you are able to get around with some random stock image remix? If the only thing that matters is that assets looks pretty, why not write a text, or use stock footage (the "generation" of which will come soon).
I know im making it sound like creating original designs isnt worth creating anymore, but that is so far from the truth. Certain clients have certain needs and deadlines and you have to as a creator/designer figure out what the project needs. Some clients have the time and money to invest in creating their own unique look, some clients want something that just “passes”. Does this quickfix desire create human moving, life touching visual experiences. No.

The disrespect to the creative process, AI stealing and kowtowing to corporate greed is stunning with Adobe.
Thankfully at the moment it is only one piece of the creative process. Still need a human to create content that impacts humans. Storytelling isnt dead
People probably said the same when the computer was invented.
man youre such a cheat code
ill take that as a compliment ;)
freakin AI
Rip logo makers
hahaha yea we’ll see
are you serious about your information about motion design? thats wrong information broh
I definitely stand by what i put in the video. What specifically did i say that you thought was wrong?
yeah the firefly is just cringe with crappy results
I'm sure you have created an amazing AI tool.. Please enlighten us with your app
It definitely works great in some cases but it definitely has a long way to go
@@felixanimate Just because someone thinks something is crap doesn't mean they can (or should) make a better app. They can just think the app is no good. I often thing a show, or band, or product is crap... but I don't feel the need to make a better one. If you think a car is crap, do you make your own or do you just look for a better one (or do without)?
Tools only matter in speeding up processes to increase profit or output. What REALLY matters are good ideas and compelling communication. AI is one big whacky gimmick creating meaningless cringe noise. It's only going to get more deafening.
Within 2024 this entire workflow will be fully automated by AI.
im not sure about that, i believe there will still be humans backing the creativity we see
I don’t think Adobe are helping at all on this front.
@bbabbich3467 it really isn’t. There’s no point in talking in absolutes about the capabilities of these systems, as they improve every day.

Let’s not waste any time … saying that is a waste of time. 🤕
youre right, next video ill take 5 minutes to talk about whats been going on in my life and show you my camera and movie collection. I feel like people really want to know that stuff ;)
AI out here ruining everything, what is the point of learning anything anymore? Feel sorry for all the designers that will be impacted in the future because of AI.. countless hours and years of honing in on their craft taken away..
To be honest i had the same feeling for a while when all this began to come out. But as I’ve started to use these TOOLS in my workflow, im realizing that its just that. A tool. It doesnt squash the creative journey, it actually helps save time so i can brainstorm longer. I dont see it getting rid of my job anytime soon. I see it helping creatives communicate THEIR ideas faster
As a person who has spent last year learning 2d,motion and 3d i agree that is depresing. I think that if someone can do something quicker that he will do more task + marketing +copywriting + ui/UX. As for me. I'm trying to cheer myself that if I reach some point of skill i replace regular graphic because of salary. This progress hit junior first and after that senior.
Edit: in my mind i'm preparing to go into IT.
@@radek_zadek_dziadek I know it's tough to fight through the feeling like the time you've put in is being trumped by a tool but it's a lie. At the end of the day, they are just tools. A house without a carpenter is just a pile of wood and nails. In order to create content that impacts humans, it needs a human touch. Ai will never take your career, but if you don't stay up to date with the tools that can make your work faster and stronger, you will fall behind.
@@djkerrThe fear-mongering is definitely a good way to get people to adopt a thing they are worried about stealing their livelihood. In the end, the corporations won’t care about your ability, just how fast you can type prompts to get them what they want to make more money. It’s troubling to see people cheer that on.
Okay now how much was this😢
It comes with an adobe creative cloud membership. No additional cost
@@djkerr I just found that out and hour ago lol
Adobe is the apple of motion graphics and editing software very over hyped and there's a lot of alternatives that are kind of getting better but that name Adobe holds so much weight people just deal with all of the subpar products they have in there ecosystems.
Ive been using blender for years and its just now over the past 2 years begun to hold professional credit as an industry standard. I hear ya on this
@@djkerr similar with me I started using Adobe products over a year go but prior to that I was using a variety of alternatives blender being #1. But in do that I've kinda developed my own ecosystem of tools where the Adobe ecosystem just doesn't really do it for me even with interoperability of all there products
Nah
I've been waiting for the day when Illustrator would tear After Effects apart.
they still have a healthy relationship thankfully, but illustrator is definitely feeling pretty alpha these days
What you typed here does it make any sense? Both are used for different purposes and rely on each other.
Like you said water tore apart food so now humans won't be needing food anymore?
yes it is a big deal because you all gonna be jobless
AI is not a designer just like a DJ is not a musician.
Im a Dj and dont play any instruments so you are definitely correct
YOU HAVE REALLY LIL MIND IF YOU DONT SEE THAT COMMING , ITS LIKE , NOT THIS UA-camR SUCKS XD
I did a poll with my followers and 80 percent didnt even know Adobe MAX was happening so i had to make sure to educate my audience
Was this written using artificial unintelligent?
@@Levi3D If you are referring to my brain, than yes haha
