Adobe Tool Thethingy Exclusive
Perhaps the most unnerving feature is the bridge between After Effects, Illustrator, and Audition. If you animate a bouncing ball in After Effects, TheThingy automatically generates the squash-and-stretch handles in Illustrator and, simultaneously, the Doppler effect audio cue in Audition. It is the first Adobe tool that doesn't require you to export anything. The file simply is everywhere at once.
The design community is already split. On one side, purists argue that TheThingy removes the "craft" from design. If the tool finishes your thought before you have it, are you the artist or just a trigger puller?
On the other side, productivity evangelists claim that TheThingy eliminates boring labor. "I haven't opened the pen tool in two weeks," one tester bragged on a private Discord. "I just think about a bezier curve, and TheThingy manifests it." adobe tool thethingy exclusive
Adobe, true to form, is staying silent—likely to let the hype build. But internal memos suggest they are preparing a marketing blitz for March 2025, titled "Stop Clicking. Start Doing."
The primary method used in these releases is the modification of the operating system's hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts). Perhaps the most unnerving feature is the bridge
We managed to speak to a VFX artist (who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing access) about what makes The Thingy so special.
1. Zero-Latency Neural Filters Public Photoshop has Neural Filters. They take three seconds to process. The Thingy does them in real-time on 8K video. Want to change the lighting of a scene from noon to midnight by typing "moody blue" while the video plays? Done. Instantly. The file simply is everywhere at once
2. The "Make It Better" Slider This is the stuff of legends. In The Thingy, there is a singular, unlabeled slider. According to our source, when you drag it to the right, the AI analyzes your composition, fixes your lighting, corrects the anatomy of your character, and adjusts the color grading. It doesn't ask permission. It just fixes it.
3. Infinite Undo Not 50 steps. Not 1,000 steps. Infinite. The Thingy saves every single pixel change in a separate lossless stream. You can delete a layer, save the file, close your laptop, fly to Tokyo, open the file, and still undo that first brush stroke.
