    Premiere gets you to a finished cut — but Photoshop and After Effects take it further. This session is for editors who've hit Premiere's limits and want to see what the broader Creative Cloud toolkit can add. Join filmmaker and post-production expert John Knowles to learn round-trip workflows between all three apps: designing assets in Photoshop, building motion and composites in After Effects, and returning to Premiere without slowing your edit. No theory — just repeatable techniques that extend your control over every frame.

    You'll learn how to:

    • Design Photoshop assets built for motion use (or that composite cleanly)
    • Move seamlessly between Premiere and After Effects using Dynamic Link
    • Access tools unavailable in Premiere: motion tracking, parenting, and advanced keyframing
    • Direct viewer attention using color, light, and motion in After Effects
    • Build revision-ready workflows and use Render and Replace for faster playback

    , Film Editor, VH Post

    Most edits look fine. Few feel intentional. Join editor Vinnie Hobbs — whose work spans award-nominated projects for Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Nicki Minaj — as he breaks down how design inside the timeline creates real impact: where rhythm becomes structure, composition becomes strategy, and every choice feels controlled rather than accidental. Drawing from high-pressure music video and commercial workflows, Vinnie shows how to move beyond edits that merely work to cuts that command attention.

    You'll learn how to:

    • Rebuild your edit with intent — locking pacing, framing, and motion together
    • Identify where your edit loses authority and fix what's holding it back
    • Use contrast, rhythm, and visual hierarchy to guide the viewer's eye
    • Know when to strip an edit back — and when to push density for impact
    • Turn instinct into a repeatable system so your best decisions hold up under pressure

    Audio is where most edits quietly fail — and where the best ones gain their edge. Ignore audio and your cut feels flat; control it, and you dictate pacing, emotion, and how every frame lands. Join film editor Vinnie Hobbs — whose work spans award-nominated projects for Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, and Cardi B — to examine how deliberate audio decisions made inside Adobe Premiere shape rhythm, precision, and impact across music videos, commercials, and narrative work.

    You'll learn how to:

    • Diagnose and fix the most common audio problems—muddy mixes, inconsistent levels, and weak transitions
    • Use sound to reinforce pacing by aligning cuts and visual beats with intentional audio structure
    • Build clean dialogue and music balances, and design transitions that maintain continuity and energy
    • Decide when audio should lead the edit and when it should stay out of the way

    , Head of Technical Artists & Solutions Consultants, Substance 3D, Adobe

    Join Anna Violette, head of 3D technical artists at Adobe, for a practical look at how creative teams create 3D digital twins and turn them into marketing content. At the creation stage, digital twins can help visualize and validate designs or serve as the basis for creating hundreds of variants to cover color or finish variations across brands. Those same digital twins can also power downstream content creation, allowing teams to produce campaign imagery, motion graphics, and on-brand content at scale.

    Learn how to:

    • Create visually accurate digital twins from CAD files to visualize and validate designs
    • Generate variants that cover SKUs across brands and product options
    • Combine digital twins with Adobe Firefly generative imagery to quickly create brand-accurate campaign imagery, pack shots, and general marketing content
    • Share digital twins with Frame.io for work in Adobe After Effects and Firefly Enterprise content automation tools

    If you’re a designer, you’re closer to motion than you think. Join Motion Design, Editing, and AI Consultant Luisa Winters as she demystifies motion design vocabulary and connects it to design skills you already use.

Learn practical ways to animate existing artwork, control timing with keyframes, and build polished transitions for your projects.

    You'll leave with:

    • An understanding of how After Effects connects to Photoshop and Illustrator workflows
    • The ability to animate layered design files with control and precision
    • Working knowledge of keyframes, motion paths, and animation presets

    , Director & Educator, The Drawing Room

    How do you move from knowing the basics of After Effects to thinking like a full-time motion designer? In-demand director and teacher Nol Honig answers that through one deceptively powerful concept: offset. By treating animation offset as a system rather than a technique, Nol builds from simple examples to more advanced, with recurring “accidental” cat-photo interludes that make ideas like stagger, cascade, and controlled delay easy to understand. This session is practical and designed to give After Effects users new techniques and fresh ways to think about motion.

    You'll learn:

    • Why identical timing reads as mechanical — and how temporal offset creates the perception of life
    • How to build cascade animations driven by layer names
    • Z-axis offset — generating parallax depth from flat 2D artwork without 3D rebuilds
    • Expression-driven control — a single slider that propagates offset across every layer using a multiplier

    What if your team could deliver bigger, bolder, more premium content — within the same budget, crew size, and timelines? Join DGA director AJ Bleyer to explore how Adobe's generative AI tools help creative teams move from concept to execution with more speed, polish, and creative firepower. Designed for in-house creatives, this session reveals how to create standout brand content — from premium-looking commercials to scroll-stopping social campaigns — using the tools you already have in Adobe Creative Cloud. Let's rethink what's possible across pre-production, production, and post.

    You'll learn how to:

    • Use generative AI to develop stronger, more dynamic concepts before cameras ever roll
    • Build polished, client-ready treatments that sell bigger ideas better
    • Reimagine and transform existing content into premium new brand assets
    • Add visual effects and finishing touches that elevate your brand identity

    , Director & Educator, The Drawing Room

    How do you create animation that earns attention before a viewer swipes away? Award-winning director, motion designer, and educator Nol Honig reframes After Effects through the specific pressures of social platforms, where timing is tight, formats multiply, and weak animation gets scrolled past in a blink. Using humor, After Effects know-how, and a number of cat photos, Nol breaks down these complex issues into digestible beats: attention capture, loop design, and building once for every format.

    You will learn:

    • What causes people to stop scrolling within social feeds
    • Designing the first frame: a strong opening image that doubles as a seamless loop anchor
    • Timing and easing techniques that generate energy within a three-second window
    • Loop engineering: animations that flow without a snap or freeze
    • How to create one composition that works across 9:16, 1:1, and 16:9 without rebuilding from scratch

    , Video Editor, Creative Director, and YouTube Storytelling Strategist, HillierSmith

    Two editing languages are competing for dominance. Traditional storytelling is patient, invisible, and built to serve the narrative. Modern web media is aggressive, fast-cut, and engineered for fractured attention. But what if the tension isn't a rivalry — but a gap?

    In this session, Hayden Hillier-Smith reveals that both approaches are incomplete versions of the same craft. Drawing from his work across long-form film and high-performance YouTube content, Hayden shares the unified editing philosophy he's developed: a modernized approach to classical principles that respects the attention economy without abandoning artistry. Because in a world optimized for the skip button, creatives who speak both languages are the ones whose stories get told.

    You'll leave with:

    • A practical framework combining classical narrative structure with modern pacing, applicable to any format
    • A new lens for every creative decision, balancing narrative patience with attention-driven urgency so your work serves both the story and the audience

    Most videos don't get watched past the first few seconds not because the content is bad, but because there's no hook. Josh Olufemii, content creator behind the Olufemii YouTube channel with more than 500,000 subscribers, breaks down what actually makes people stop scrolling and keep watching. In this session, he shares the strategy behind his own growth — and how to apply it fast, even on a 15-minute deadline.
