Like everything else, Adobe MAX looks a little different this year, but that won’t stop us from watching the incredible lineup of A-list speakers from the comfort of our own homes.

It means that Adobe has embraced technology like AI and the very latest in image processing to speed up processes that used to take days into minutes. Speaking of which…

Read on, register for Adobe MAX (for free!) and mark your calendars to check out some of the  speakers we’ll be tuning into for a glimpse into the future of filmmaking and video production.
