It's not made by festool at all. It's made by Richartz, a well known german knife maker. They just put the festool logo on there and sell it as a promotional gimmick.

Ok what you do is get some kinda skin that does not use anything that stay on the device it self like dbrand it sticks but does not dmg it then after you apply`d that get a paperlike screen protector and stick that on top of it 😂😂😂😂 new tablet with tablet feel

Really good re-review! Nova is my IDE now. I use the preview all the time and love how i can set up 2 preview windows at once, one for mobile and one for desktop size. I also found it useful for rendering liquid code.

It could be a miniature? But anyway the idea of destructing them and flattening as iPad ... seems sad. I just have to pray for those instruments. Even though I am mostly a digital artists and hardly ever use physical instruments.

Ball rolling into place.. cheap and easy to do that in reverse.. even using a cheap desk fan to make it roll away. Easily explains why the catch is so clean. Could easily do 20 takes for zero extra cost. I don't see why any CG is needed.. just editing and a mop. oKGO AND hPC basics traits from a decade ago

It looks to me like the larger shots of squishing didn't happen. The press is much smaller and each item was done seperately and multiple times to get the right shot. Otherwise debri would be falling on everything below and would have pushed things lower out of the way. All the oressing is real but the scenery around it is wrong

Here before you go viral

This is Apple's most ghoulish ad ever.

you can go frame by frame with "," "." when on youtube really interesting video btw

The camera looks like a Sony FS7

I just watched the ad and I have to say it's brilliant in terms of simply marketing genius, it hits all the right buttons, the fact that it's offensive adds to the marketability, and it's not as if it reflects on the phone at all because they obviously aren't made like this. I hope that it was CGI and I believe that it was most likely a mixture of CGI and compositing of multiple shots with real destruction mixed with CGI destruction

I think the environment and the hydrolic press is definetely cg since it would be so costly to do it in real life but relatively cheap to do it in cg and put it all together.

Great video, I was wondering exactly this when I saw it the first time.

Subscriptions suck.

This is why I only use felt nibs, I actually never use plastic nibs, I would rather spend £15 for 20 felt nibs that will last me a year+ than use plastic nibs that last longer but become sharp as they ware away. I had the issue with the XP pen artist 12 it is a pen display but using plastic nibs and not changing them enough caused some deep scratches in the plastic layer on the screen, which actually made it harder to draw because when I hit one of these scratches it knock my drawing off. I just ordered the Xencelabs medium bundle, looking forward to using it.

You only need look back to what happened to Sketchup and the promises made by Google when they sold it to know what is to come. This is a sad day.

Already thinking of how yo leave Affinity. Canva is greedy.

I hate canva! Why, oh why!

Remember Sketch? I was a fervent user of it until they went subscription. I will have to use Gimp, Inkscape with their horrible interfaces.

If they had a video editing software developed the same time they started with Affinity Designer, they would have sustained on their own. Most video editors get the Adobe account for Première and the end up defaulting with Photoshop, so they won’t need Affinity Photo. BlackMagic Design gives their video editing software for free if you bought one of their cameras, so DaVinci Resolve grew to be a great software supported from the sale of their camera gear. I used Affinity Designer it a great professional app.

must start searching for alternative software, if it becomes a subscription or it will be ditched and transformed in shity template software. Is just a matter of time. FK.Y Canva!

You have a very insightful perspective. Thanks for sharing. Having worked in Silicon Valley for 15+ years I am aware of the need for having a more stable revenue stream to fund research and development. The model I find fair is the "Maintenance Fee" which gives the user the ability to decide if they want to get updates or not. I use Camtasia and am happy to pay once a year to keep current on new versions given that the fee is reasonable. That being said, since I am not a graphic designer and only use the Affinity products when I absolutely have to for a video graphic, my need for a bunch of new features non-existent. I did go ahead and upgrade my suite to V2 for what I feel was a very reasonable price.

Canva: A family, we've paid a billion dollars to help out the users. For one man, a stick is a crutch; for another, it's firewood.

Corel buys Bibble ...remember..???? Today Bibble is no more, and its replacement AfterShot sucks... ...Déjà vu...

If Affinity goes subscription, and you use iPad, go with Logoist 5.

I left Adobe years ago for Affinity and I have spent really BIG on their books, as well as on each of the software (Designer, Publisher and Photo) on desktop and on the iPad. I absolutely LOVE them, so need I say that I am so disappointed by this self-serving move by the creators of Affinity! Moreover, I cancelled my Canva account also years ago as I absolutely hated the platform and the offering/creators/owners/company. I will not be purchasing any further Affinity versions, so once the current version ceases to work, I will look around and purchase something that used to resemble the good old Affinity software suite. I think this will be the fastest extinction of a brand and it's software in history. PEOPLE ARE NOT HAPPY AND THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES as they will demonstrate their displeasure by changing to something else...

Unfortunately, Canva kind of sucks at it's current state - the way you can't do much in it, you do not have much control, much settings...kind of like an Apple product...this is why I chose Affinity. Now seeing Canva acquiring Affinity is pretty strange, because I first thought it is the other way around - Affinity buying Canva...you do not usually see Companies of such a oversimplified, not-feature rich software (Canva) buying something completely superior to them (Affinity)

I wish IntelliJ's Vim plugin was this good ❤

I'm not happy about it. I just bought the Affinity set since I'm switching careers.

Thanks for this, really interesting take on the buyout. I do agree with all your points. I was one of the early adopters quacking on about Live Trace!

Worst comes to worst, retain workable copy of perpetual license of Affinity products just in case Canva transit Affinity products to subscription based like Adobe.

Agree with most points. Always thought the price was low, and development slow. We are in agreement on the the fact maintenance is fine. Price it fairly, have two tiers where once you make so much off the tools like 100k, you pay more. I don't agree with subscription at all. You stated the difference that maintenance is fair because the developers get a steadier stream of money, and the user doesn't have tools they've paid for yanked from them as soon as they stop paying. That's where I draw a hard line. I paid a small fortune over the years in maintenance fees to Autodesk, didn't love it, but I knew I could keep using what I paid for. When they went full sub, I was done with Autodesk. While I agree the way Autodesk handled things (and not just licensing) was worse than Adobe, Autodesk at least does offer tiered pricing, and if you are going to force subscription licensing at least offer a fair way to continue to all the users you've built your business with.

The company I work for subscribes yearly to Canva Pro for $120. I could easily see Canva doing a subscribe bundle where you get Canva Pro and Affinity Suite, with added integration for $150 a year. Doesn't interest me, but I could see something like that being offered. As long as they keep a similar perpetual license option, I'll keep buying it and upgrading as needed.

I bought so and Publisher when first offered, along with all the books and some tutorials. I use Adobe, Topaz, luminar Skylum, Apple, Photomator Pro, Pixea, and others. I stopped Affinity; it can't hold a candle to any current applications. It's junk, and the people publishing it leave much to be desired. Good luck

Good video. And I’ve mostly been on the production side of things whether it was in post or software creation. It’s really frustrating to see how many people just do not get the financials of actually producing software, whether it’s a company or open source. People refuse to accept the idea that there are cost but they always expect the highest quality product. As much as I enjoy using affinity, I have to agree… The price was too low. It makes sense they had to get bought. I guess we’ll see where this all goes…

"None of that changes… today." Right… so it might change some other day and it will.

anyone who is above the age of 2 will note that in this weaselly communiqué the key word in "none of that changes today" is TODAY.

The biggest problem with subscription models is that suddenly my business becomes dependent on -their- product roadmap decisions, their activation servers, and so on. If they decide to discontinue the product line, my product stops working and my legacy documents are suddenly inaccessible. I've had this happen before, even though the subscription software still ran perfectly fine. Then suddenly I had no way to access all my old files. Furthermore, subscription models give the company no incentive to develop new features. Why bother? Subscription revenues are guaranteed since users need to access their legacy documents. I prefer to treat software like a tool. Sell me a hammer than works. If you come out with a better hammer, I'll buy it if it's a good value. But saying that software developers have an unusual need for smooth revenues is nothing new. ALL businesses have a need for smooth revenues. That's what drives innovation and progress -- the need to develop new, useful, value-added products that satisfy real market needs.

Yeah, we’re just gonna have to disagree on 90% of the stuff that you just said. Wish you the best.

I need to grab that V2 version asap then. This sucks. First Figma to Adobe and now this? wtf

Great video! WRT ROI, there's this daft capitalist nonsense thing where companies will sometimes buy things even if they can't make as much money off them as it cost because they'll earn more from it than they would have from other investments. This goes back to your point about how spikey income is less "valuable" than MRR even if the MRR is effectively lower. You can build the value of your company by investing in things, even if the investment will never pay off what you invested (see Microsoft's purchase of Minecraft).

Surely Canva could make their money back in months (after programming and implementation) by just allowing their existing 175m users to have access to specific tools from the Affinity suite for small subscriptions or one off payments. They could have tiered subscriptions and could even go with a paid for token method like AI image generator sites do. I can see perpetual licenses going up in price but it makes far more sense for Canva to get a return on investment and future profit from their existing 175m users than from 3m perpetual license favouring pro and hobbyists.

You seemed to not think of the reverse or implications of your point re people not buying the next perpetual license version because the features don't wow them, and that being a reason why subscription system is better. What this basically means is that when people have signed up to pay you monthly regardless, you can just release any crap and get paid whether your updates are good or not. In fact you yourself admit that you chose not to purchase V2 because the updates weren't enough to you. Now with what you say about subscriptions, if Serif did that you'd have been signed up to have just bought it and now have it before knowing it wasn't worth it to you. I get that there's a possible Catch 22 here tho, as it could be argued that if there was a subscription the updates would've been faster and included more. Pros and Cons of both?

Thanks for your thoughts on this and the earlier video. Much appreciated.

I don't believe their 4 Pledges. They will change everything in the next year or two. This type of situation never ends up well for the users. This is very bad news. Once they have subscriptions, it's downhill from there. I don't believe their promises. I have seen this before.

Thanks for your great views!

i agree that affinity is too cheap and serif maybe was a little short on funding, but going this route with canva seems like a sellout of the whole idea behind affinity. being at the mercy of greedy canva Investors will ruin affinity short or mid term. canva is not interested in maintaining affinity. they want the functionality in their cloud subscription and thats it. who cares about the 3 million Desktop users of affinity. theyll slap a subscription on it and milk as much money out of it before shutting it down, to recoup some of their investment money. affinity on desktop even shapes up to be competition to their cloud service, so killing affinity after cloud Integration is the logical next step

The problem I have with Adobe is that £20 a month for a professional photogrpaher is WAY too cheap and £20 a month for someone like me who uses it once every 2 months to edit one photo for personal use is WAY too expensive.

Affinity bought by a subscription-based fluffware house. It's a damn shame. I won't be handing them another dime.
