Video continues to dominate the media landscape. Social media posts with video have 48% more views than plain text or images (HubSpot) and social video generates 1200% more shares than text and image content combined (G2 Crowd). But you don’t need a study to tell you that videos are just plain eye-catching and fun too!
And now they’re easier than ever to create with Adobe Spark’s mobile apps! We’ve added fresh animations, video background support, and new moving design ingredients to Spark Post so making a bang on social and beyond is just a few taps away.
Here’s the skinny on Spark Post’s new features and how it can power your expression explosion:
Add Video Backgrounds to Your Designs – Now on iOS
Now you can add video clips to any Spark Post design for dynamic social video in seconds. Simply add a video from your camera roll, trim to the moment you want, then design on top of it for engaging videos in ANY size you can imagine. Square, rectangle, even vertical video–perfect for Instagram Stories and Snapchat.
New One-Tap Animations – Now on iOS & Android
We’ve added 12 new animation effects to Spark Post’s mobile apps. These modern effects make your text move in a single tap.
