Adobe After Effects Quick Apply Beta Launched

I just released a tool for After Effects to automate batch rendering of dropdown-based variations. In many of the projects I work on — templates, multi-version content — a big part of the process ends up being repetitive: changing values, exporting, renaming files… over and over again. This script was born from that need. It allows you to: – Automatically iterate Dropdown Menu options  – Render multiple compositions at once  – Send everything directly to Adobe Media Encoder  – Keep file naming clean and consistent The goal is simple: reduce repetitive work and make production more scalable, without breaking the creative flow. Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback 🙌 https://lnkd.in/d2KX7rQi

Been working on something small… but honestly, it’s changing how I edit. As a video producer, I realized most of the time, the problem isn’t just editing, it’s keeping track of the process. So I built a simple task tracker directly inside Adobe After Effects. Now I can: ✨ See exactly where I am in a project ✨ Know what’s next instantly ✨ Stay focused without switching apps This is a quick test of it in action Would something like this improve your workflow? #VideoEditing #AfterEffects #CreativeTools #Workflow #Productivessss #Creators #ProPro

Wicked Wednesday is where the KV team shares tools we’ve found, tested, or are about to spend far too much time exploring. This week, Chris is back in Adobe. Premiere is evolving (again), and this round of updates is actually worth paying attention to. Not just incremental tweaks, but workflow-level improvements. Two standouts: • Adobe Stock integration directly inside Premiere No more jumping between platforms mid-edit. Asset sourcing becomes part of the timeline, not a separate task. Less friction, faster iteration, better creative flow. • AI powered object selection for rotoscoping If you’ve ever manually masked footage frame by frame, you already understand why this matters. What used to take hours now becomes… significantly less painful. These updates aren’t just “nice features.” They reduce production time, remove repetitive work, and let more energy go into actual storytelling, which is the part people care about. Chris is calling it now: “banger content” is pending. We’ll hold him to that. https://lnkd.in/gYJCzeCS #AdobePremierePro #VideoEditing #MotionDesign #ContentCreation #CreativeTools #VideoProduction #PostProduction

Here’s 4 things I learnt from our current clipping campaign with Adobe. 1) The hook is everything in the first 2 seconds your clip has to get attention. 2) Emotion over information. Don’t over explain what your showcasing. 3) Rewatchability is the hidden multiplier. 4) Quality over Quantity always.

Comms professionals always seem to live on poverty row, balancing between professional software parity, constrictive IT policies and diminishing budgets. Free and low-cost creative tools mean your team can produce high-quality content faster and without budget roadblocks — a game-changer for anyone trying to do more with less. Read to see exactly which tools are worth your attention — and which ones might replace Adobe in your workflow for good. https://lnkd.in/eiXwngkH

Adobe just changed the color grading game for Premiere editors. The 2026 beta introduces Color Mode a fully rebuilt grading engine built right inside Premiere. Layer-Based workflow, AI Object Masking, and Clip vs. Sequence grading toggle. No more switching apps. No more exporting to Resolve just to color. Is this the end of DaVinci’s dominance?

Adobe is cooking again, but don't expect to run this on your local rig yet. The technical paper for TokenLight shows state-of-the-art performance in relighting everything from skin to transparent objects. But as with most Adobe research, this is currently a closed-door project. While other labs are open-sourcing their code, Adobe is likely refining this for a future Firefly or Photoshop update. At Grivus, we’re tracking if these attribute tokens will eventually be accessible to developers. For now, it’s a masterclass in what’s possible when transformers actually understand light.

It's May 2026 and Adobe is rolling out SVG pasting into After Effects. How does it work and what is it good for? Can it tackle the needs of your project? Can it replace Overlord? ⁠ × : ×⁠ full video: https://lnkd.in/eVufebUE × : ×⁠ ⁠ #motiondesign #motiongraphics #aftereffects #figma
