Adobe Spark Video for Negative User Reviews

Awesome but lacks export optionI just wish that I could export my presentation on my ipad or computer...just in case I could not have an internet access. In which case I don't see the point to use this app!.Version: 1.0

Far too limitingI understand the premise of the Spark line is to quickly create simple media assets. That being said, I think there are a lot of options that could be added that would allow more customization. Example: it would be great to allow text alignment, or the option to take the background color off of the text. I can appreciate what the Devs are going for but I still think that simplicity can be maintained with a handful of additional features..Version: 4.1.3

Incredibly limitedNo vertical video, which is a preposterous omission in 2020. No ability to edit your brands. How this ever got an Editors’ Choice selection is baffling..Version: 4.1.2

Interface is not user-friendly and it’s so hard to navigate through the menu options.I tried this to save time but instead lost more time than i spend when editing premier pro. Next time, without a second thought, i will be using premiere pro but not this app, sir, absolutely no..Version: 4.1.1

I Used to like itI’ve made 3 videos so far. Nothing fancy, just ones for my daughters 2nd birthday (Oct 2021), our dogs 10th birthday (Jan 2022) and Father’s Day (June 2022). When I made those, I had no problems! However- I’ve been trying to make one for my daughters 3rd birthday and it won’t let me upload a video. I keep getting a message that says “Uh oh. We had a problem saving your clip.” I’ve restarted the app several times, made sure it had the latest updates and still it’s not working. Was hoping to keep all my videos in the same app, but I guess I’ll have to search for a new app to get this video done. Super disappointing..Version: 4.4.6

FrustratingI feel this is for 80s so limited on features and also buggy when it comes to share files from CC.Version: 4.5.1

Ten second ruleI need adobe to understand that not everything needed to be said can be said in ten seconds. And I also need them to understand that we cannot have a million slides just to say what we could say in one slide on a boring old PowerPoint. Please fix this adobe people can’t understand me when Italklikethisbutcanyou? I need this fixed otherwise this app is out the door.Version: 3.1.4

MusicThe app is easy to use but every song you use from iTunes requires you to download it to use it in the movie, but it comes up the song is restricted every time so you’re stuck with the music provided through the app.Version: 3.2.1

Why can’t I use my own music?It won’t let me use any of my music from my playlist, it’s saying it’s restricted music..Version: 3.9.1

Decent AppI really do like this app but there is one problem with this app that makes me give it a 3 stars, it will not allow you to multiple pictures onto 1 slide.Version: 3.9.0

Given it’s Adobe, it Could be better1. While easy to use, the playback is glitchy. it will stretch the the video on playback. Have to play it back 2-3 times to fix. 2. It’s nice to have text, but give us the freedom to move the text to any desired location. We are only able to place it at the top, center and bottom. 3. Would be nice to animate a picture and not just text. 4. Given that this is aimed at mobile use, Add a Format size to fit the “story” on Instagram. 5. The Icons you can add are only one size, there’s no way (that i saw) to edit the size which limits usage..Version: 4.4.5

Ok-ish.This is a brilliant idea, almost implemented well. Unfortunately what isn’t made clear before using this app, is that it requires videos longer than 30 seconds to be split down to segments of that length. These can then be “seamlessly” joined together for longer videos. What actually happens however is a project full of glitches & digital artefacts - made even worse upon exporting to photo library or equivalent. The audio / visual drift that occurred on each project I attempted made the end result totally unusable. Once this is fixed it will be tremendous. But for the full version costing £9.99 per month I’d recommend giving it the heave ho. Cancelling my subscription immediately and will look elsewhere..Version: 4.2.3

Easy to use but lacks exportVery easy to make good quality visual and audio stories. Lots of themes, music, and images to choose from. However, you can't export to a video format, the story is stored in the cloud, public or private. Adobe essentially controls anything you create. A useful, well-made application that is at the end of the day not so useful..Version: 1.0

Must seeThis is a bad app to get it won’t let you into it so don’t get it.Version: 4.2.0

Good but it’s got issuesAt first it operated great, I put in all my videos and cut them to however long I wanted them. Then, when I tried to add the text it was very glitchy and didn’t tell me how to do it and there is a lot of steps. I got the text in then went to try to add my own music from iTunes and I got in , chose the song, and there was no way for me to cancel out the song list. I could either restart the app and lose all my progress or try to wait it out. I tried to click any song I could but nothing would happen. Even clicking the cancel button didn’t work. When I restarted the app I was happy to see my work was still there, but it wasn’t letting me add music which was what I really wanted..Version: 3.3.1

Utterly horrendousWho did the UX on this? Seriously I expect so much more from Adobe. Only 2 screen sizes: square and wide. Where’s the portrait size?? Auto adding branding which you can’t remove until you login to the adobe website. 2 mins in and I HATE this app. And this coming from someone who’s used Adobe products for 25 years. Utter rubbish..Version: 4.4.1

Great butI would say this app is amazing, however, I have encountered a problem with loading videos. I’m trying to make a gift for a depressed relative, and all the videos of us together, and her laughter won’t load. Please fix this issue. Apart from this, I would recommend..Version: 4.4.1

BadIt's yucky.Version: 4.2.3

Horrible appI have to use adobe spark for Spanish assignments and adobe spark has been horrible using so far. One of the things about it is that you have to use slides and every single slide has a time constraint of 30 seconds. That has been very hard for me because sometimes I get a good recording that I feel happy with but then 30 seconds is up and I have to do the whole thing over again. The most frustrating part is I have had to redo some recordings at least ten times. Because of that I have had to finish them at home when everyone else is done which made it late and my Spanish grade went down. I would love if every slide had 1 minute or 2 minutes at the most..Version: 3.6.1

Great, but...This is a great app. It's well made and easy to use, unfortunately it's real use is seriously limited by not being able to share to YouTube or Vimeo..Version: 1.1

It’s okayIt’s okay but I would prefer if you could make a slideshow as well.Version: 3.9.1

No export lets this downGreat app but lacks export to camera roll. Would use it with my class otherwise..Version: 1.3

Good, but lackingI really like the Spark apps. It is great to have options with video. However, with how customizable Spark for photos is I am surprised with how limited the video app is. There are alternative free video apps that offer a lot more. For example it would be nice to have transitions between clips or photos. It would also be nice to be able to turn off the slow zoom in on photos. And have animated text options where they slide, fade, or look drawn in. The music is a bit limited, and I didn't see any way to add your own music. Also, I've seen ads and annoying notifications for it being able to now make square videos for I'm assuming Instagram. Yet it's either not working on mine or not set up in an intuitive way. I want this to work more like Spark for photos. As the way you resize, and many other customizations, are much more upfront. While I often Spark is my number one choice for photos for my Insta, I wouldn't choose this video app for video or slide show projects..Version: 3.1.8

Needs improvementApp lacks some basic functionality. Very limited, I could only add 25 pictures and then had to add one at a time which was very time consuming. The app doesn’t let you customize all slides at once to adjust the length, instead you have to go slide by slide. Inserting Icons: you can only add one, you can’t adjust the size of it or move it where you want it. You can’t mix and match songs along the length of your video, you have to time it just right so that song ends, and you be Can add a song by playing it and recording on that slide.Version: 4.4.6

Couldn’t even log inI tried to make and account but I didn’t want to use my personal info so I made up my name as PB&J LoL but my email was the same but I changed my password but when I agreed and pressed ‘do not send me a via email’ because I didn’t want a email popping up to say if I could make this account but when I said ‘confirm’ it said that I couldn’t register and I could read more but all I wanted to do was get in this stupid editing app to make some memes like I do so I did want to read for 24 hours and need to still contact google so I didn’t bother but when I did my google account with all my google info but still It said that I couldn’t register and I could read more but still I didn’t want to have to contact google!! I’m very disappointed with the creators and if any anyone is reading it DO NOT DOWNLOAD or if a creator is read FREAKIN’ FIX IT Thank you.Version: 3.8.0

🤨I honestly expected more and kinda regret try thr spark video water with my 2 legs by going all in for an annual subscription. I expected this app to have the best stitches between each video(transition) when you add your first 30 seconds and add the other half(s) there are obvious breaks between the clips in the final video. I also expect more text effects for the videos and ability to do like a real time subtitle in videos especially given the premium paid. However the scary part is that a user by the name Meg complained about these things a year ago and nothing has been done, we don't expect a do all app but it should be able to do what other free basic slideshow apps do with ease and this being an Adobe product should actually be a standout video editing app. Thank you 🦿.Version: 3.9.3

Easy but wonkyI like the easy to use interactions but as with most of these type programs I had a hard time with getting the resizing right. I write poetry and use pictures as backgrounds. The resizing doesn’t review to the exact proportions of the two allowed shapes. This is a problem with others apps as well so it would seem to be a problem for a lot of people. I appreciate being able to use your music as I’ve tried others but it won’t allow downloaded music and just was user unfriendly!.Version: 4.1.1

Meh...First, for mobile video editing if you aren’t offering the ability to rotate the video it is a non-starter. Needs to be both in the preview/edit mode and the final output. I need to be able to post my landscape screen recordings in portrait mode. Second, make it easy for me to mark spots in the video for clips. Maybe as I’m watching I drop a flag and Spark Video automatically grabs the 15 seconds before and after to create the clip? Have that in another editor and it is nice. Those two things could move you to 5-stars...4 at a minimum..Version: 3.6.1

Was once goodI used Spark a lot in the past but new phone, different life events, I hadn’t downloaded it again until recently. The stupid logo is annoying and having to pay $9.99 per month to get rid of it?!?!? Really? Just like all other big companies, Adobe is finding a way to extort money from consumers. I’m done with any Adobe product. Most are riddled with vulnerabilities and perform like a sick dog anyway. Update: And then I get a response from Adobe also trying to sell me on more products such as creative cloud crap. So done with Adobe. So DONE. GO AWAY!!! So annoying. Such a desperate company. Nothing makes me angrier than a company ignoring my main point!!!!.Version: 3.1.1

Great before updateAs a business owner, I understand having free and paid versions. But in updating the app I lost the ability to even tweak existing themes, which now only come in eight not so exciting options. I made an amazing short video on this app in the prior version - I’m not liking the new version and am very disappointed. Creating my own themes would be great for a flat fee for purchase, but $9.99 per month is way too much to do that. I loved this app as an add on for my business and to use in correlation with other Adobe products, but this was a huge loss of features to force me to upgrade. It’s a great app, but not enough to pay $9.99 per month for to have even basic functionality. I don’t dare update my other Adobe apps after this. So sad - hope they change this policy..Version: 3.1.4

Glitches and not many optionsThis app is fine. It’s good if you want a basic app to string pictures together, or if you want something simple. However, for me, the app kept glitching and was very slow. The images would flash in and out, and weren’t very clear. It would also take a while for them to load. I have good WiFi, and this happened to me in a number of different places, so I don’t think that’s the problem. Not only that, but a minor thing that bugged me was the fact that there isn’t a “no transition” option. If you want to put together a few pictures, depending on the theme, it will automatically add transitions between the images. I did like that you can change the time duration of each slide, but there weren’t as many design options as I had hoped for. I got this app because it was recommended to me by a friend, so I might have had to many high expectations. It was just a bit of a disappointment..Version: 3.9.0

AnnoyingThis app is not very good four me because i cant even sign in.Version: 3.9.4

Not quite there yet.It has potential but lacks some options. You cannot trim the length of your audio takes. You can't post to Facebook business pages. You cannot post the finished video without all of Adobe's advertising. The idea is really likeable but Voice comes with either not enough options or too much baggage..Version: 1.4

Awful picture qualityIt’s the same with most resolutions wether it’s spark post clip or spark video they compress the thing EVERYTIME, usually down to 720p. Now I pay adobe a fortune an they think compressing our work is the right thing - MADNESS.Version: 4.1.3

I love this app. But the audio is unusable.Spark is a great way to share ideas. It’s so good that I tried to create something for a client with it. To do this I connected a Blue Raspberry mic and that’s where the trouble started. There are pops when the external mic is accessed and also when it’s turned off for each clip. This introduces pops in the video so I had to pull it onto Premiere on my PC. Once there, I just used my larger audio setup on the pc because the in/out noises were too rough. I think there’s also a problem that it’s not recording any room tone so you can really hear the mic go in and out. If you use the iPhone mic it’s a great app, but until the external mic issue is resolved I can’t use it..Version: 3.1.4

How does this have 4.5 Stars??The IPad has been out now for 8 years or so and this app STILL doesn’t work in Landscape mode? The IPad Pro 2018 is more powerful than many laptops and you still can’t edit in Landscape mode? Editors Choice? Who’s paying the Editor? Adobe? Then there’s the fact I can’t access anything on the ICloud Drive, I only have access to stuff directly in the Photos app only. That is DUMB since most iPads don’t have enough room for lots of video files. My ICloud Drive has close to 2GB of drone footage that I can’t store on the iPad, obviously, so now I have to make the extra step of downloading them first??? Come on ADOBE.....Version: 3.9.0

To hardHow do I cancel?.Version: 4.4.1

Less than half-bakedThe app leaves a lot more to be desired than what it actually offers. You can’t select a music track from iCloud Drive or any source other than synced songs from your phone. You cannot select a custom transition without completely changing the theme and the brand manager does not allow selection of a transition together either the colours and fonts. Also, no way to globally set slide duration, so if you have 30 slides and decide to make your overall video shorter, you gotta go one by one. I had to make a basic slideshow in Spark Video, then jump to iMovie to add a custom song and reexport. Such a waste of time..Version: 3.3.3

ToyCan import audio. Only option is from iTunes..Version: 3.3.2

EhEh, it’s ok. This app is included in my adobe subscription but won’t be worth it as a stand-alone app. Very limited to what you can do on this. Only two size options (widescreen and square), only a few designs, limited music, no transitions. Also, it searches pictures based on the date of when a picture was taken, which is very annoying. For ex: I was going to create a quick cake smash video for a throwback post. The pictures were taken last year. I downloaded them to my phone for the first time this morning. On my phone they’re in my “Recents” folder. However, when I use the “My Photos” option in the Spark app to add pictures, the app searches based on the date. This means that I literally have to scroll through a years worth of photos on my phone to get to the ones I wanted. I’ve recently updated the app and still have this problem. Again, my actual photo album on my iPhone does not do this, but for some reason it’s only an issue on the actual Spark app..Version: 4.2.0

Needs vertical optionGreat app, needs a few updates including vertical video and a loop length feature. Otherwise the future potential is there and this will be my go too..Version: 3.8.0

Great app BUTI found this app really good for my YouTube channel intro movie. Problem is now I have copyright claims against me for the music I chose. I’m having to go through all my YouTube videos and either trim out or mute the sound. Perhaps admin should have had this covered with the owners..Version: 4.4.5

Spark videoThe worst thing ever.Version: 3.7.5

Adobe could do more!Been using both Spark video and Spark post for over two years. By now, spark video should allow users to add multiple objects in one slide. Unfortunately it’s very limited and not flexible. Simplicity is good but it should also allow complex producers to use spark video for on the go promotional production or infographics videos..Version: 4.1.2

Needs transition settingsGreat app but needs transition controls Videos look too clunky.Version: 4.2.0

Cannot saveIt is frustrating when you have done all the work and it just dont allow saving it as other format everytime i tried the app quit itself. Fix it so annoying.Version: 4.3.2

Can’t Save!Overall, it’s a great app where you can create videos, but there’s one major problem with it. I cannot save my videos to my camera roll. Every time it’s almost saved, the app would crash and it’s still not in my camera roll. If you could please address this problem, it would be greatly appreciated. If it wasn’t for that, I would’ve given it 5 stars. I use an iPad, and the first time I uploaded, it worked, it was a video of 23 seconds. The times after however, did not work and I was fairly disappointed..Version: 3.9.2

Is it really free?I downloaded the free version of Adobe Spark to try it and after I published my first video I thought it was a good deal. But when I tried to publish my next 3 videos I always got an error message when it tried to upload. I tried more than 3 times. There was no explanation as to why the upload failed. It just said try again, which I did several times. Then I tried to email customer service about my problem and never got a response. I am beginning to think that they are just trying to get me to purchase a subscription. They lure you in with one free working video and then you have to pay to get more????? If that is not the case then the app should explain why the upload failed so the user knows what needs to be corrected..Version: 3.3.3

Easy to use, slick but can only upload to AdobeThe app itself is cool. Very easy to use. The voice over is tied to the slide if you move the slide, your recording moves with it which makes editing your presentation a breeze. Re-recording is just a matter of holding down a button. I liked the final result of my first attempt but it was there that I hit a snag. The only option to upload (or do anything) with your video is to use the Adobe cloud. No YouTube. No Dropbox. No saving to your device. To add insult to injury, Adobe had an outage when I tried to upload (which seems to have lasted for over 7 hours now according to Twitter) so it is impossible to share at all. A shame. Come on Adobe, you can do better than that - provide more share options!.Version: 1.1
