I think you should make it so you can upload your own animations. It's suuuuper frustrating I can't just upload my own characters. That would be useful. Right now, it's kinda gimmicky.

Hi @xavier_1490 ,

 

Do you get any error messages, does it just hang and become unresponsive?

Awesome tool, and I hear parents are using this with their kids to make stories. A must have is to be able to create/upload our own characters!!!

I love this Tool. I do all my Adobe Express Quick Tipps Tutorials with it.

BUT I know of the old Link to the Tool. THAT works pretty good, because I can use the Link with Macro-Keys and Streamdeck or Loupedeck CT to quickly navigate. That is a big Plus for Workshops and Streaming. BUT when I open the Link in this Posting here I get to the Adobe Express website and the embedded Link to the Too can not e.g opened in a new Window or new Tab so it is NOT USABLE at all for me. I definitely need a "Stand Alone Link" that also can be bookmarked in the Browser along with all the other Quicktools.
Since the Update of Adobe Express many Quick Tools lost there Links. Yes, I know that those Updates came with new structures and DevOps decisions, BUT hopefully Standalone-Links for Bookmarks and better accessibility will come soon back! Thanks.

regards,Henrik

Its very-very coll! But.. Can I upload my own character? 
The presence of such an opportunity radically changes the service. The characters from the database will quickly become recognizable and non-unique.

Hi @Contraxia35406388s9oc, Adding your own character feature is currently unavailable, but you can post a suggestion to our product team here: https://adobeexpress.uservoice.com/forums/951181-adobe-express-beta?query=character%20

 

Once this feature is available, we'll let you know.

I don't have the option tab to animate from text, I've just updated the app, but still not there. Any idea why?  I'm also having a hard time with other options not being available, like  when I'm following instructions on converting a jpg to svg. My Home Screen doesn't say "what do you want to create" like the home page that's shown.  Why is my version different?

I've unmarked your post "Correct" that an Expert marked because you are asking about an issue, not providing an answer for the post from Employee @Amitej S .
