AMAZING new features! Thanks for the short n` to the point overview! P.S. I cannot believe they STILL didn't add a LAYERS panel to the PC Touch workspace though... right? Who's with me?
They're STILL gonna do it again, adobe is there with apple and microsoft owning the market and pisses us off with bugs and shit without worrying about revenue.
One thing Illustrator needs is a huge upgrade to it's key board shortcuts. There are so many things that are not possible with keyboard shortcuts while other programs let you assign practically anything as a keyboard shortcut.
patience is key is the number one rule of a designer. More time you spend on something to perfect it, the more you learn. try it sometime. besides, you need to start basic.
There are tons of features we don't know and we are not good at using too..I think we tent too often to look for what is "missing" rather than improve what we already have! But that's normal I suppose :) p.s. all this said, the price we have to pay every year...has no excuses....too much money...too much..
No kidding. I have a new fully specc’d MacBook Pro and I have issues with the GPU, corrupted files and strange errors/ at least one a week I have to delete my preferences and start over. It’s a bloated garbage app, I miss Freehand.
@@radioactivecat Yeah, i run Illustrator on different Platforms (OSX + Win10) and yet it still manages to crash reguraly on fairly new hardware. I think the software needs an rewriting from the bottom up.
@@andersdeleuran 2020 and is still vertcal programmed software..nothing else to say..in my modest opinio of course.. I know it's not simple to rewrite the software but an important program, "state of the art", as Illustrator MUST use all cores if a cpu.... we're building vehicles to fly to Mars, you know..ah ah..:( (nothing to laugh with all the money we pay...!)
One new feature that needs improvement is the new ability to unlock individual items. It creates a very specific problem. If you have an object, with an object on top of it, lock the object on top, then try to select the object below by clicking on it. Of course, you can drag a selection around it and get it, but imagine that you have several objects stacked this way. You know that the one you want is 1 level down, or 2 levels down. With this new feature turned off, you can click on the top object using a modifier key and it will select the next object below, and continue going down through the stack. With this new feature enabled, it won't select through the top (locked) object. It only took me minutes to realize that I couldn't use this new feature. Other than that, I really hate that when you make selections over the locked objects, the locked objects "appear" to be selected. While I know that they're not, it is very disconcerting to look at it. I can't shake the feeling that when I move or delete or scale, the locked (but selected) object is going to also move or scale. Adobe needs to work this out. Coreldraw has this feature since the early 90's I think and I've never had that particular problem with it. It doesn't get in the way of anything else I do.
I saw your question and went to the video to see what it was. I use the eraser tool constantly but didn't know it worked that way. That you could drag a box like that and it would erase whatever it came across. So, thanks for the question.
Hello Martin. I am currently enrolled in your AI course in Udemy. Do you have a course series in After Effects? Youre a great teacher by the way, thats why I want to learn After Effects with you.
So, only text alignment options for me - good. No other interesting features. Still no low-quality previews for raster links like in the InDesign.... Maybe someday, maybe.
Haha. Probably. I have a new Illustrator problem myself. Whenever I'm using Illustrator, Windows Explorer has performance issues. As soon as I close Illustrator, Explorer goes back to normal behavior. I have no idea what is going on with that.
Improve the inclusivity of the recolouring artwork tool and text design work. I'd say that's awesome. Hey, at least you're not put into a position where you have to buy the full software again.
Compare this to what Astute, makers of the awesome plugin suite for Illustrator, did. New tools, seriously useful new functionality that makes Illustrator a way more powerful program. And Astute is a company a fraction of the size of Adobe. They're constantly innovating. When companies get big and monopolistic, they get lazy, greedy and arrogant. Affinity Designer is still significantly behind Illustrator, but eventually it'll catch up if Adobe continues like this. Look how long it took Adobe to give us decent sized canvas for signage, a feature asked for years on Adobe forums, and it's still clunky. Affinity vs Adobe - the tale of the tortoise and the hare? We'll see. In any case, competition is good. Adobe sure needs a competitor to spank them.
Very well put. There is a lot of innovation happening in the background (think of Adobe Sneaks) but the larger a tool gets and the broader the user base, the harder it is to make changes. I know many of the Illustrator developers personally and trust me, they work very hard and they are passionate about making Illustrator the best tool. Having said that I'm glad to have competition in the market. Look at ProCreate for instance. Without it I'm not sure if Adobe would have invested so heavily in iPad apps like Fresco, Ps and now Ai.
@@opusepynomus9995 normal zoom with mouse. normal drag. without Alt, Ctrl and other shit. all CG programs have it. adobe have this function like option in Ps, why they can't do it in Il?
This must be a joke, Adobe has money enough to do great updates to this software, but does nothing because its the mos vector design software. This is a good reason to move to Affinity Designer.
In my opinion the best thing is that with the „recolor” the color theme can be picked up also from a raster image. Finally :)
Oh for sure
Perfect summary, perfect features. Shout out for vertical alignment 😍 Thanks for sharing!
I hope they transfer more of InDesign paragraph formatting features in the future like paragraph rules, and bullet & numbering.
That recolor is an amazing time saver

This is the 3rd year. 3rd year in a row, that Adobe has done absolutely nothing with Illustrator.
Yes they do, they charge you monthly.

@@GiraffeArtistLove sorry and your point is?
Not enough features.. There are much more stuff to improve.
Agreed. For subscribers who pay $600 a year, this is all Illustrator gets? You gotta be kidding me.
Wait for AI 2022

Exciting new improvements! Thanks for sharing.
I’m mainly curious about how often this lame excuse of an update will crash or randomly turn off the GPU preview.
No kidding. I have a new fully specc’d MacBook Pro and I have issues with the GPU, corrupted files and strange errors/ at least one a week I have to delete my preferences and start over. It’s a bloated garbage app, I miss Freehand.

How about 'Rotate Canvas'? Still waiting for this feature. Maybe in 2040?
The font height may be usefull when you want to pair different types, and make them work better together.
Can't tell how long we've been asking and waiting for Font Height. Finally!
I appreciate that you make it short.
Thank U 4 your job! ❤️
Thank you .
Great tut! Thanks
The main feature is a constantly high CPU load
Dear Martin I came here for the illustration as the thumbnail of the video. Kindly please tell me where to find this type of illustration
Love the unlock feature
Should have added more shortcuts... 😣
Hi! Tell us what you do at 6:11 with the letter P, how you mask it, erase it
Just use the erase tool
@@LIFE2STARS I didn't know the feature with option click eraser)))
@@SSFranch Oh thank you! So it's option click, then! I was wondering that too.
Yes I'm a Designer
How did you erase a specific section at 6:09 with the Eraser Tool? I just know the way how to use the eraser as a brush... Thanks for the video!
the alt key makes it erase with a rectangle :) very useful

What type of screen recorder software are you using
thanks
What kind of monitor is that?

Is that foe 4 c only?
High cpu usage is the main feature of ai 2021!

It only took 20 years to implement vertical alignment ...
When will these new features be available to the public?
Already are?
It should be available everywhere now. Is it still not updating for you to 2021?
@@YesImaDesigner I tried using Photoshop and did not see the new features.
@@georgerobles9747 Photoshop has different new features. Insane ones, lol. Bravo to nvidia.
@@georgerobles9747 that's strange. Try to go the Updates tab in the CC desktop app.
What did he do to delete the front of the P?
eraser tool, hold alt, drag a selection over the part of the object.
@@KuttyJoe Thanks. Turn type into outlines (Type > Create Outlines) then select the eraser tool and drag over the selection you want to erase
thats all? damn, they didnt really work that hard this year lol

Adobe illustrator 2021 download link plz
MacBook screen recording software name?
It might be Quicktime.
Idk Illustrator and someother programs are kinda buggy, having serious problems with Aftereffects 2021 and Media Encoder
Right, mine starting eating my cpu even I don't open any documents. Dynamic link is stupid
I don't have the easy unlock button xd
💜💜💜
are they do "zoom with mouse"? w8ing from 2010
You can zoom with mouse scroll holding alt and move left & rt holding ctrl

Too bad the tracing function always turns out like shit
Hi friends, i am new subscriber and in the comunity, can somebody help and tell me plaese if its posible to draw with a tablet vector art?
Yes, with the new Illustrator on the iPad. Check out my other video about it released yesterday. Fresco also support vector drawing besides pixel art.
@@YesImaDesigner wow thank you, actually i saw it about Fresco (youre video), it was really Crazy :))
But its availible only on iPad?
@@DavidMadvaliev Fresco is available on all devices, Android, Windows and now also on phones.

You are Liar these features are in Adobe illustrator 2020 .
