A Guide To Using Video In Spark Video

Earlier today we announced an update to Adobe Spark, you can now embed video in your Spark Video stories. To help you get started, I used Spark Video to create this video which explains how to embed videos in your Spark Video videos. (Yep, I know how bad that sentence reads, but it was fun to write).

Video in Spark Video

The Adobe Spark team is on a roll! In the past two weeks we've updated Spark Page and Spark Post, and now it's Spark Video's turn.

You can now add MP4 and MOV video to Spark Video slides, you can trim, zoom, manage audio levels, and even automatically continue video on upcoming slides, and all with the clean, fun, friendly interface you've come to expect from Spark. Video in Spark Video is available now both on the web and on iOS.

Spark Post Text Cutouts

And the Spark goodness keeps coming! Spark Post now supports text cutouts. Not sure what that means? Add some text to your Post, then select the shape, and tap the shape repeatedly. Slick, huh? So, we've improved Spark Page and Spark Post ... I wonder if more Spark Video goodness is on the way. ;-)
