2. The Future for Adobe<\/h3>\n

\"Adove<\/p>\n

Adobe’s Sr. Director of Product Management for Video, Bill Roberts, gave an interview to Video & Filmmaker<\/strong> about the future of Adobe. You’ll see how Adobe discovered that filmmakers use Creative Cloud more than any other industry users.<\/p>\n

We found that video professionals are the most voracious users of Creative Cloud<\/strong>, using more tools and services across a range of disciplines to complete their work.\u00a0For example, it\u2019s not uncommon to have a logo from\u00a0Illustrator\u00a0CC<\/strong> and image from\u00a0Photoshop\u00a0CC<\/strong> combined in an\u00a0After Effects\u00a0CC<\/strong> comp and dynamically linked to a Premiere Pro<\/strong> timeline.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
