Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Coinciding with the Sundance Film Festival, Adobe has released major Creative Cloud updates, introducing AI-powered object masking, enhanced masks, and improved Firefly and Frame.io integration in Premiere Pro, while delivering more substantial workflow improvements to After Effects. After Effects now adds native SVG support, parametric 3D meshes with Substance materials, improved lighting and shadows, advanced variable font animation across multiple axes, and a new Unmult effect, marking one of its most significant upgrades in years for vector animation, 3D work, and motion typography.
