After Effects? Separate them in the app that creates your source (character) design, or with masks. To animate, check Adobe HELPx for tutorials to get you started. For more advanced work, check DUIK (rxlaboratory.org) and RUBBERHOSE (battleaxe.co) or Character Animator? (See forum here) ... View more

There are many reasons for this (which version are you using? OS?), but usually always "directory" related. The simplest reason is that the files were moved relative to where they were when the file was saved (this includes if the folders were renamed) Sometimes it is a file directory (structure) error.  Sometimes it is a duplicate path error or super-nested directory error.     ...

Does your magnification need to animate with some kind of rotation? Isn't the lens just a value that can be called when a new magnification is chosen? Doesn't using the lens value as a size/scale multiplier work for this? (plus crop) ... View more

Right. Unfortunately, I only deleted a single asset (happened to be a photo grid) inside the project.   Fortunately, I didn't delete the entire project.   Just another workflow rule to adhere to: USE THE DUPLICATE PROJECT BUTTON before making those big editorial decisions.  🙂 ... View more

Hey Dave! I wish they were referenced from LR or something on Assets...   I had just uploaded them to Spark Page (now part of the Express family).  And all was going well, until I thought I was removing one image, but turned out I was removing all of the images.  Careless.  But there is no undo.   I figured there must be a server somewhere with those images on it.  Once I uploaded those to my Spark Page, they no longer get linked to my local school computer. They're hosted somewhere else, and I think count against Adobe storage, but they don't show up in my Assets.Adobe.com - - or at least not anywhere that I was able to find.     ... View more

Your brand doesn't preclude you from changing the styles of your pages/posts/videos. Once you pick a style, the H1/H2 styles are built into the template - -  Actually MAKING CUSTOM TEMPLATES has been on my wishlist since the beginning of Spark.   Here's what you can do with your brand - but for body formatting, maybe selecting a few templates that you work from is your best answer?? Poking around with templates are the easiest way to find out how to make the branding style that you want.  This is probably on your reading list already: https://www.adobe.com/express/learn/blog/how-to-create-branded-stories-in-adobe-spark   ...

1. More or less, it's you. You can't package it up and send it to a client. If they have a CC account, they can collaborate (via invite), but it still lives in your account.   2. The BRANDING setup is intended to make it easy for you to stay on a single library of color and have a logo tag out all of your projects (that use that Brand). I find it easier to just edit projects to the values I want - rather than switching brand/on/off.   3. You can use anchors in Page. (create page via browser)   4. Yes. jpgs. pngs. (animations are links to YouTube/Vimeo). No GIF yet!!! but hoping for that soon. No interactive triggers yet. No interactive value boxes yet (afaik) ... View more

The work that you've created automatically saves to your creative cloud account. You can check by going back to the home pages of express (spark) and viewing the projects. It's a good idea to sync to the cloud to store your projects/data. You can access them from other devices as well. When publishing a project, make sure to stay on the page while it's creating the published work.   Depending on the size yof your video and speed of your connection, it can take some time to upload.   I recommend doing a really short test to make sure it is linking to the correct YouTube account and can publish something (even 1-2 seconds) long.   Even if your published output fails, your project should still show up on your home page under the "Projects" tab (button). ...

OMG - this is like a letter from Oregon Trail.  I'd be reading it by the crackling light of the wagon train campfire! ... then victory! (sheds a tear) you've made it through the gauntlet.  I hope the next project is (gotta be) easier. whew!   I'm wondering if meta data is increasing file size or creating problems for the edit.

I totally agree with you.   There are several of us here who have asked for "Alpha Numeric" sorting, and Boolean Searches.

As long as you have it sync'd to your CreativeCloud account, you should be able to access it from other computers with your same account. You can log into your CreativeCloud account on any computer, just make sure that it's the same account that you used to create the project in the first place. Or invite another CC user to share elements from your library. ... View more

This is a great response for FAQs regarding mobile crashes! Also helpful to Premiere Rush team for trying to figure out where the problem is occurring. AND a great workaround - although you shouldnt need one 😉 great problem solution.   If you have time, I'd be curious to see whether you can finish the title effects on the desktop version without pre-rendering the video. I'm on similar iPhone. I wonder if it has to do with HEVC or HEIF files on mobile and phone resources, or if it's the app. ... View more

Yeah, it's a tough one for that.  The "remove background" might be Adobe Sensei powered with the aid of Adobe Photoshop. Could be a good start, but you might be better off starting in Photoshop then, making your asset with some appropriate tools.   Alternatively, you could create your cutout with one of the Adobe free mobile apps, probably even Fresco or Photoshop Fix or Mix(is that still a thing, Kev?)   Then create a transparent PNG to put into express.   If you want to stay "express only", you could (really difficult) go into the EDIT mode and paint out the remaining greenscreen pixels that remain in your image.   ...

Have you tried updating the desktop creativecloud app on the machine that you're having a problem with? Apps will "phone home" to make sure that you have a subscription, but not every day. So it's possible that the Desktop CreativeCloud app updated recently, but your "frequently used" apps don't care. When you opened an app that hasn't checked in at Adobe for subscription, it didn't figure out how to do it through the old CC Desktop App. Update CC, log in again.  Usually that works for me when this kinda stuff happens to me.   Hope it works. ...

Yes it is (one big mess), but you can search by name. Not the best (search an entire genre or a specific name) but switch from "Character Tab" to "Animations", then Search. It gets you closer to the "jump", "Snake dance" or "Thriller" move that you may be looking for.   I just hope you're not (like me) looking for "Walk Down Stairs" heheheh. 😞   ... View more

Play around with the tools -  Have Fun -  I'm sure you'll figure it out in no time.   Why accredited? I don't think there's an ACE test for the Express apps (yet) - but maybe @Kevin-Monahan is working on one secretly (heheheh).🤓😆   I don't know if there are any accredited tutorials specifically geared to the new Express.adobe.com tools/interfaces, but you might find a lot of tutorials that feature Adobe Spark.    Many of the features in the new Adobe Express are similar or the same as what we had in the Adobe Spark tools.  If you're looking for something to use as a syllabus for class guidance, stay tuned - or craft your own from the MANY, MANY project templates on the site!     Side note: If you are planning to create a lesson plan for a school, check Adobe Education forums for tips on ensuring that all of your students have managed CC accounts and hardware that will make the learning process run smoothly. ...
