![]() ![]() It’s got to be a perfect take, or nothing. You can’t trim it, or cut out portions you didn’t need. It’s good that the slide’s duration will automatically lengthen should you overrun on its originally set length, but you have no editing control over your recording. Should you choose to, you can add a voice over to your project, although your narration is confined within a slide. You can also add photos and the import process is the same as for the Graphics or Web Page sections above, but as with videos, you have no image enhancing options, and although you can zoom in or out, you can’t set it to pan and zoom across your photo.īy default, a musical score is added to your project, which you can change in the Music section - you have just under three dozen tracks to choose from, but if none of these appeal, it’s possible for you to upload your own. You can’t colour correct your videos, and the most you can do aside from trimming them, is zooming into them. The inclusion of image enhancing tools and filters is most welcome.Ī few themes let you choose the project’s overall look (Image credit: Adobe)Īs with Webpages, your creative options are much more limited than for Graphics: you can’t select your font, and you don’t even have access to a full colour palette - just the ones offered by whichever Theme you’ve chosen. You also have access to Adobe Stock for images as well. Spark’s search field is quite powerful, scouring sites for any images tagged as ‘Creative Commons-licensed’. Connecting to your Dropbox, Google Photos or Google Drive accounts is also supported. If you need to add photos, you have access to any stored on your hard drive or your Lightroom libraries of course. However, it would’ve been good to perhaps have a way to tag styles you like as you see them, or at the very least go back to your original selection without hitting Undo until you eventually get back to it manually. Thankfully there’s a multiple undo feature which you access through your computer’s usual keyboard shortcut. As long as you keep clicking on that button, Spark will keep offering you new options.Īlthough this is fun to start with, there’s no option to go back in reverse should a previous random design you liked was the one you wanted to use. It allows you to go through a huge number of different styles for your text box, changing font, colour, shape, you name it. Perhaps the most imaginative - but also quite frustrating - feature is the ‘Find a new style’ button. There’s a handy representation of all the layers that make up your creation, making it easy to see what’s on each and to alter their order, and as there’s also an Opacity slider, you have the ability to make selected objects semi-transparent. You can obviously select any text box and alter the wording - that’s a given - but you also have access to dozens of fonts, alter the spacing, and have resize and rotate options. Once you’ve made your selection, this is where the fun begins. However, there are still a good number of free templates to work with should you wish to remain in the free section. What’s annoying is that this yellow tag isn’t immediately obvious when scrolling through brightly coloured templates, and they’re sprinkled throughout the list - they’re not sorted between free, and paid for. Any with a little yellow tag top right of the thumbnail can only be accessed if you have a Creative Cloud subscription. ![]() This is where you may encounter a bit of a pickle: not all templates are available for free. Select any graphic option and you’re greeted with a good number of templates to choose from. ![]() Graphics offer you the most options and creativity (Image credit: Adobe) Graphics ![]()
