Gone Fishin’ – Another Adobe Spark Video

I still love Adobe Spark. It’s pretty much idiot-proof. My first two videos were created using Adobe Premier Elements and Audacity.  They came out ok, but were not as simple as Adobe Spark.

The two most difficult tasks are photo selection and narration.  The experts say that 6 minutes is maximum length for videos like this. In my experience, the story dictates length. So far my max is less than 5 minutes. I tend to select the photos first, but sometimes writing the narrative dictates which photos to use for a story. In the end, it’s just fun to do.

I LOVE Adobe Spark

  

What an easy way to create a video to tell a story!  And it is FREE! 

Adobe Spark makes it extremely simple – teachers and students are among Adobe’s target audience for this product.

Here’s my first project: 1941 Road Trip

The website leaves something to be desired in terms of tutorials, but there are several tutorials available from others.

This blog post from Amy Johnson Crow includes a tutorial

A Google search will find more.

Adobe Spark will create a link to your video so that you can share it with others. You can also download your video as am MP4 file that can then be uploaded to your YouTube channel.

In the past I’ve created a couple of videos using Adobe Premier Elements but I think I’ll stick with Adobe Spark
