Now that Canva has its hooks in Affinity it will probably go downhill from this point on. Hello GIMP and Inkscape.

Except it's not for free (at least in Ver 18 of da Vinci) unless you own the Studio ver. and it is no where near as good as plugins for AE like what Granite Bay used to make before Adobe went crazy, these were totally professional de flicker plugins. The best way is of course to shoot without any flicker from whatever source/reason.

Thanks

It is 10🎉🎉

Hi there! I usually do not comment on videos but wanted to share my solution to brutal lag (even in 720p) with H.265 iPhone footage on my 12.9 M1 iPad Pro. Turns out that frame interpolation was set to Optical flow, and as my project was in 29,97 fps and iPhone footage is 30, optical flow was killing the performance. Now with that set to closest this this flies, even with effects & a 4K timeline.

I bought the new iPad Pro M4 for short edits with davinci resolve. But I have a big problem with an external SSD. After I import some media, the files show up correctly in Davinci Resolve for a short time. But after a few seconds all media is offline and I can't access the media in the files app.The SSD is still displayed in the Files app, but I cannot access it. To be able to access it again, I have to restart the ipad. . But even then I can't use the external SSD for editing. I have no idea what the problem is. With internal footage it works without problems...

I'm playing Pacman

Affinity Photo offers a 6 month trial and is currently only €30 for the full software, it's insane the prices Adobe charge

are you able to transfer photoshop brushes to Affinity?

I certainly didnt NEED it, but I was needing to purchase the studio version of davinci anyway, so mine as well get some bang for my buck. I love it.

Adobe Photoshop is still more powerful overall than Affinity Photo.

I have been using Photoshop for years but it's always nice to see other people and learn new things. Great video, learnt a lot and just bought Affinity Photo 2, so looking forward to making the swap.

Photoshop user since version 2.5 here. A few days ago the Beta apps in CC interfered with Ps and couldn't start Ps for the whole day. And I had to finish something for my job. I remembered this recent Affinity hype and I decided to give it a go. Installef Affinity, opened the PSD document. First showstopper, the interface. I hate colorful icons. It took a while to find what I needed. remember I was in a hurry. Then tried to copy/paste the FX style from a layer to the other. Surprise, you can't. Immediatelly that is. There is NO SHORTCUT to this, no menu, no submenu on the RMB, right mouse button/right click. I find out that you can drag/drop the icon, but not on multiple layers, or at least not worked on me. That took me 10-15 minutes just to do for one layer, youtube/help included. That was the second showstopper. Had to create a new layer. Surprise, empty. Wtf. It took another few minutes to find out I need to fill that out. Great UX, so user friendly and fast, what can I say. That was my 3rd and final showstopper. Uninstalled, done everything with a very onld copy of Photoshop, pre CC. Don;t take it personally guys, I am in my 50s, my brain is not that fast and sponge like when learning new programs, I lose all my patience and enthusiasm during the years, I am a worn out designer who loves his routines, I became grumpy, serious and I hate it when I have to lose precious time. I make enough to continue with the CC, I am Adobe Certified Professional in a few apps, so I am fine continuing and to be really honest to the end, I don't really care about them using my work to train their AI whatever. Nowadays, design has a so so short lifespan, it only became entertainment. Plus, my work belongs to the company who pays me a wage, so couldn't care less. Peace out.

Thank u fir your outstanding videos.Can affinity do what AI does with Mockup fir placing logos or label's on bittles and tubes so easily.

i got a Lightroom ad before this video

It's awesome that Black Magic made Davinci Resolve for iPad. I think it's worth having, and maybe using in a pinch, or like, if you're camping or on a short airplane ride. However, you can get a 2018 Macbook Pro second hand these days (mid-2024) for like $250, and a 2020 for about $450-500. An iPad with a mouse and keyboard could actually make this pretty decent, but if you're going to have a mouse and keyboard, wouldn't you just have a laptop? Anyway, thanks for showing us this! There aren't a lot of DVR iPad videos out there, and I'm pretty sure I won't be doing much with my copy of it, but I have it just in case, and I always appreciate seeing what people can do with the iPad.

I think you can just apply linear wipe transition or whatever it was, no need to animate anything its constant every time

Gimp 3.0 works really good

I just bought affinity and got the universal license and got it at 50% off

They Coded Affinity suit in pure Binary

I've found that in Photoshop for the Gen fill when removing objects, just type 'remove' ... 9 times out of 10 it'll do a decent job.

You could have just typed remove couch in Photoshop.

when you select to fill better to expand first then fill with content aware

Pleasent audio, really good mic and FX setup 📈📈

AI is not free with the Adobe subscription. You get free AI credits depending on your plan, additionally you have to buy

I guess for any serious work, creating that arrow on a vector software would be the way to go, even if PS has that morph tool

How to install affinity for windows windows please sir tell me

IMHO, one of the killing features of Affinity Photo is its size in comparison with Photoshop. Photoshop uses 1 giga without even opening any file.

Literally TERRIBLE background music bro. I would LOVE to watch this but the music is SO SO Irritating i can barely focus on what you are saying. (as a suggestion from a pro video editor, drop the treble on the track)

honestly, if they later add generative AI as an subscription addon, I will be fine with it as long as the base software is still one time purchase .

gonna invest into affinity stocks

I just got the Affinity suite 50% off, one time life payment which is sweet. Adobe will get humbled slowly but surely

Unless it's changed in photo 2, you can also use photoshop plugins in affinity photo. I also removed the couch fairly easily in about 30 seconds. I'm sure anyone who cares enough could clean up any edges easy enough. The inpainting brush is better at smaller objects rather than large chunks of the image.

I can’t believe this dude 3:40 to actually start showing what i clicked for

One time cost vs subscription BS? Affinity FTW! It may be missing a few PS "bells & whistles", but it is by no means an inferior product. And at least I'm not going to have to threaten the CEO with legal action to get them to stop sending me threatening emails demanding money I'd already paid ... for a subscription I had cancelled, but which they were threatening to cancel if I didn't pay them?! Adobe are so inept it's unbelievable!

Skip the first 5 mins...just useless talking..takes so long to get to yhe main subject

I can't thank enough any software developer for challenging the most user hostile soft - Ps. 😊

When Aff incorporates the AI, i will switch. It's the only reason I'm keeping Adobe

Great video, thanks! I'm a longtime PS user, but I think I'll give Affinity a go. 🙂

You can leverage the gpu to do the AI, Topaz only uses local processing power for it's AI, Adobe could do the same but then they couldn't charge you for doing it on their cloud servers. Affinity could also do that and let's not forget NPU's are about to get common place and more software will support them, but you can bet Adobe will still force you to use the cloud and generate low resolution results for the paid premium. Best of all, Adobe steals your data to train their models and forces you to pay for the privilege.

For me, Freepik is the ideal solution.

Thank Michael for this PRACTICAL video. The effects that benefit me the most are: Deflicker, Flickering, Relight, Face Refinement, Tilt Shift Blur and Color Palette. I have 2 questions please. 1. Does the Deflicker work on the flickering caused by LED lighting? 2. If possible, could you please make a video about the Resolve Relight effect?

Thank Michael for such a DETAILED & INFORMATIVE video. I’ve watched more than 5 videos regarding this subject and yours is the BEST. It’s because the details of the information that you cover. All the other videos do not show step by step of playback settings, etc. like yours.

Is there an option to save those settings as a preset in DaVinci? Great video! 👏🏼

there is no real reason why AI must be cloud-based. It is just the model Adobe chose. I have used e.g. DALL-E locally. It just may take a while to finish on a slow PC. Affinity could choose to have their model(s) locally (on the PC), and run purely off of the local CPU and GPU.

If its anything like the Audio world then just use Avid, it does nothing for you and forces you to learn a bit more.

🔥🔥👍👍10:19 😅 nice

why I don't have the dialogue processor?

Stable diffusion is an even better AI software that can be installed locally for free.

Adobe gone too far...
