Affinity Publisher - Overview?

[Steve100]

Hello,

I received an email from Serif about Affinity Publisher, I would just like to get an overview of what it can do.

I followed the links to some video tutorials:
https://affinityspotlight.com/article/learn-how-to-use-affinity-publisher-fast/?utm_source=SpotlightEmail&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Newsletter

But the first video goes straight into the UI. Is there a video somewhere that introduces Publisher and its capabilities?
I've googled it as well obviously, didn't see anything that was any good.

Best Regards,

Steve

There is a Publisher promo video here: h##ps://vimeo.com/343219826
The forum automatically embedded it when I pasted the link.

Have not found any overview/evaluation/management summary/press preview videos.

Hello LibreTraining,

Thank you for your reply and the video link.
I was really looking for something more in-depth overview but it seems that none exists.

If you will look in the TUTORIALS part of these forums you will find a Live Stream starting at 2 pm today (June 29) CEST regarding Publisher.  It should help.  Undoubtedly you can also play it back at a later date.

OK thank you will take a look.

Well, the Live Stream was a disappointment as far as Publisher is concerned.   If you will look in the Tutorials section of the Forums, you will find the Official Publisher Tutorials.   They are excellent.

It isn't a video but have you opened https://affinity.serif.com/publisher/ & scrolled down the page?

Affinity Revolution is a good source for tutorials about Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer.

They recently posted a 6 minute video review of Affinity Publisher asking if it can replace InDesign. You might find it useful as a partial overview.

Affinity has not released a comprehensive set of tutorials about Publisher. They still haven't caught up issuing tutorials for AFPhoto 1.7, with only 52 AFPhoto tutorials on YouTube and 69 on their own website. Previously they had more than 225 AFPhoto tutorials for AFPhoto 1.6. They can still be found on Vimeo, but not from the official Affinity site. The company has been pretty lax lately when compared to what I found 1-1/2 years ago when I started using AFPhoto. We can hope they will soon have many more tutorials available again. And we can hope that more individuals will be issuing video tutorials. Several people have created hundreds of tutorials for AFPhoto.
