The Lounge

I was part of a group that held regular meetings to network and socialize while discussing Adobe products. There were presenters and swag and it was pretty successful until Covid hit. I'm trying to start up a new group in my area, but I could use some help from Adobe to run it successfully. I do not know who at Adobe is in charge of helping users get together. I'd like to start there.

When signing up for the student discount, I found that "animation" is spelled wrong. I just want to bring it to adove's attention. How do I do this?

Hello, I am a graphic designer for a very large global corporation and we have a few creative teams scattered across the United States focused on creative media jobs for the US branch of our company. In the past, the larger creative needs for our company were outsourced to various design agencies, but we have recently begun onboarding our own creative teams and were looking for ways to evaluate proficiency within our team. Are there any evaluation tools available that we could administer to our team in order to identify levels of proficiency or areas for growth in various areas? We have designers, videographers, and photographers, so ideally, we would have resources for each of the different disciplines. Is anyone aware of anything like this? It could be general theory/design proficiencies or program-specific (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, XD, etc.). Would love to hear from anyone with information! Matt

South Korea has cool K-Pop music shows like "M Countdown", "Music Bank", "Show! Music Core" and others. Artists - both solo and groups - perform there for a short period of time to promote their current song(s). Whoever wins in a week - which is based on criteria explained here - is getting crowned "No.1 of the Week".Now to the reason for this thread: In "M Countdown", when the winner holds their winning speech, a rather cool background music can be heard. I've been looking for these for ages now, asked subreddits dedicated to music identification, tried Shazam (or similar apps) and even contacted the company behind the show, but I just got no luck so far 😞Songs in question:- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWlwN8XDzXE- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9rLCb-aS9A&t=83sDoes anyone know the name of these?

Hallo Ihr Lieben, ich habe letzte Woche wieder mal einen tollen Werbespot von Adobe gesehen. Dieses mal hat es mir ganz besonders das Lied (etwas elektronisches) aus dem Hintergrund angetan.  Leider habe ich den Spot nicht wieder finden können, geschweige denn den Titel des Liedes herausgefunden. Könnt ihr mir hier weiterhelfen?

I have been trying to submit my remixed album cover to the creativity tour for the young thug session and am having no luck for anything loading for me.  I have screenshots of all my progress with the submission taking hours to try and submit to trak the progress so hopefully it can still be counted.  I talked with customer support who said its best to just wait and see, but i would like to email the proof of attempted submissiona long with my work to see if ill still be considered.  Does anyone have an email i can reach adobe on?  as its not readily avaible online.  Any help is very much appreciated!!!!

I've got several thousand images, in various folders, for which I want to create a formatted PDF of the file names and some metadata of each file. I have a script for creating a text file with all the info that I need, but I want to know how to convert the text file so that I can use the folder names as headlines or some sort of divide for the indivdual files. I can create an XML rather than a text file of the data, if that would work better, but which program do I import the info into: ID?   Here is an example of the info that I'm pulling from the images: File name, Description and Title (Date of origian image). So I would also get the parent folder name of 0098, which I want to use at sub titles and fomate that larger and bolder than each files' descriptions.   0098-02: Daughters of Andrew Burns Parsons: Jane (Parsons) Bonnifield, Nancy (Parsons) Hansford, Columbia "Lummie" (Parsons) Gordon Vannoy, Laura (Parsons) Sullivan Evans. - Circa 1915

Hi all,  Hoping someone can help.  I was wondering if anyone knows whether Adobe had any plans to update their dedicated LinkedIn Learning Cert Prep courses eg.1. Cert Prep: Adobe Certified Associate - Photoshop (released: 4/25/2019)2. Cert Prep: Adobe Certified Associate - InDesign (released 7/26/2019)  Or could I instead do one of the more up-to-date and relevant Adobe LinkedIn Learning 'Essential Training' courses while being careful to cover/review all the certification exam objectives? I also understand there are testing centres (who also provide training) but I only have the option of using LinkedIn Learning courses as a starting point. Many thanks in advanceRon

Hello good day, I haven't recieved my credly badge for ACE level 1. I have recieved my certificate url link a week ago or two but no credly badge. 

I watch my videos on YouTube and Vimeo and occasionally they will pause and stop again. I put up with this for years, but a friend gave us a new, big TV, 65", and suddenly those pauses are really irritating. What am I doing wrong? Anything I can do to fix old videos? What should I do for new videos to prevent this? I thought it was Comcast, but when we house-pet sit I see the same thing on my laptop and their tv. The more I see it the more frustrating it gets. Thank you, Rick
