Adobe Express Developers

We are currently working on integrating Adobe Express into one of our applications using the Adobe Express Embed SDK. As part of our evaluation process, we tested the SDK in a localhost environment prior to full-scale integration.Our primary business requirement is to enable editing of PowerPoint (PPT) files within the application. However, during testing, we observed that PPT files are not supported by the SDK. This behavior also aligns with the current documentation:https://developer.adobe.com/express/embed-sdk/docs/v4/shared/src/types/asset-types/enumerations/asset-typeRequest:Could you please confirm if there is any way to enable support for PPT file editing within the Adobe Express Embed SDK? If this is not currently supported, we would appreciate any guidance on possible workarounds or alternative approaches to achieve this functionality. 

Hi, I currently use Adobe Express to animate a character for my video content and I'm wondering if there is an API I can use to automate this. Is there a way to send audio or a script to an API and get an animated character video back as output without using the editor? Thanks

Product & version: Adobe Express Developer Console (Web)Platform: Chrome (Latest version) - Also tested in Incognito and alternative browsers.Steps to reproduce: Navigate to the Add-on Submission portal and go to the "Listing details" > "Publisher profile" section. Fill out all required text fields (Publisher Name, Website, Description). Try to upload a valid 250x250px image (tested both PNG and JPEG formats, under 1MB, with a simple filename like logo.png) into the "Publisher logo" drag-and-drop box. Observe that the file fails to upload. Open the browser's Developer Tools > Network tab and observe the failed API request returning the following JSON error: {"errorMessage": "Invalid code: DEFAULT", "errorReason": "bad_request_parameter"}. Expected result: The 250x250px image should upload successfully, attach to the Publisher profile, and allow the submission process to continue.Actual result: The upload is rejected by the backend server with a "bad_request_parameter"

My PSD file size is 1.2 GB thats why I can not convert my PSD into Adobe Express File. 

The syntax highlighting is one of the most important features for IDEs because they tell coders if there are problems with the code. I'm currently using version 1.0.701 and noticed an annoying problem whenever the “#” is found on the script. CF Builder assumes that every time it encounters a #, it is part of a variable evaluation, which is commonly used in CF tag attributes or between <cfoutput> tags. But in html, the # is used such as in css settings for colour. As a result, we get problems like these:  In this example, the # is used properly, and is part of standard html that is not parsed by the CF server. Adding a second # tricks CF Builder into thinking that the # has been escaped:But this is wrong and will cause problems because the final html code that is sent to the end user's browser will contain two #s. The only way to fix the problem is additional CF code:  But this is an inefficient way of handling things. We shouldn't need to nest html tags within <cfoutput> wh

The layer strip above the scene now only shows a singly tiny square of the image instead of the full duration of its appearance, and where the fade animation effect takes place. This makes it impossible to control my animation, as there's no indication which later has the animation effect and where it occurs within the scene. I updated my iOS version in the hopes it would resolve the problem, but it only got worse: on my iPad the layer strip doesn’t appear at all! This makes the app completely unusable on my iOS. On my Mac.Could you please restore the appearance of layers to the full duration of scene? |iPad: Mac:  

Using adobe express and find that every time I replace an image the change doesn't apply and I have to go in and do it a second time before it registers. I click image, click replace, click replace w/ upload, navigate to folder of image I’m uploading, select image, hit enter. It exits the upload screen, however the image remains the same as previous. Repeat the steps and it will then change.Definitely not express if I have to make every change twice.

The primary system für planning and writing is the Purple DS Hub. Express serve for the creation of tasks/posts.

We have been notified of an issue affecting parts of the Embed experience, where some features such as font color and border options are not visible, and the Embed Express left panel is unresponsive. While the left panel issue is fixed, our team is working to resolve the rest of the problem quickly as possible. We understand how this may impact your workflow and appreciate your patience while we work on a fix. We'll continue to keep you informed as we make progress. Thank you for your understanding.

Our Express Embed has stopped letting anyone click the sidebar to add media or elements. Users can upload media but not click any of the other buttons to use any saved in files or add stock media or text. Thanks, Ru Howe

We're looking for a solution for Adobe Express that allows us to freely design and place captions without having to use Express templates. There aren't any good solutions among the add-ons either. Can something like this be custom-programmed?

We've just heard from another customer that login to Express Embed is not working on Safari on Mac, but is working on Chrome.In Safari in Express Embed, it loops back to the login screen after logging in with a valid account. We've tested on different Macs for us here. See screen recording here that my colleague just recorded.https://www.loom.com/share/f59cf896943f41dabf19553c726bc6a8But in full page Express, it is fine with the same account.We are on SDK v3. Perhaps it's that?I'm worried that something's changed in Safari.Please could you test at your end and see if it's the same for you for your own test Express Embed instance? This may be related to the other thread that I just posted about students not being able to log in - we're asking about their browsers.Attached is the Safari console log during the failure to login. I've run this past GPT, and it says:Observed Errors from Safari Console log:Identity Authentication FailuresIMSProfileNameMissingError: User profile is missin

We have developed an Adobe Express custom add-on, but we are currently packaging and deploying it manually. It’s also deployed under a single user account, we want to move to an organization-level setup so any developer can maintain it. Could you please advise how to deploy the custom add-on via a CI/CD pipeline and how to set it up at the organization level? Also, please share the steps or any documentation to achieve this.

Hey! I just got a report that the language switch in the embed SDK is not working.If you go into the settings & update the language, the UI will update at first. Then once you close the settings menu, the whole app will refresh and the language defaults back to english again.I'm seeing the same issue using both v3 & v4, and it can also be reproduced on the demo site https://demo.expressembed.com/
