NFT’s

[Alaska Dawn 907]

What Adobe program can one use to create NFT's? Are NFT's just short animations?

[John T Smith]

What do those initials mean?

Premiere Pro is used to edit video

@John T Smith,

NFT = Non-Fungible Token (blockchain)

@Alaska Dawn 907,

Adobe Creative Cloud has Photoshop for creating raster graphics and animated GIF.

NFT's  created artwork, can the be stills like a jpeg from photoshop or illustrator? Not a animated on?

@Alaska Dawn 907,

The digital commodity can be almost anything you want. 

• video,
• audio,
• bitmap drawing / painting,
• photograph,
• vector illustration,
• animated gif,
• or all of the above.

The NFT part comes when you pay to list it on OpenSea, etc...

Thank u! Much better explanation. 
The learning curve is high for this, a whole new language to learn ; such as: NFT, blockchain, Bitcoin, crypto currency, minting, gas ,etc.

Appreciate your knowledge.

Yeah.  It's a wild, new frontier. And it can get really expensive. So pay close attention to the FEES you're paying.  Good luck!

The problem with NFTs is that a lot of "creators" are stealing content from artists to make their tokens, and the artists who actually DID the work get nothing.

Plus, like all blockchain thingies, they eat up huge amounts of processing power and energy.
