It’s not possible to freely place it nor is it possible to add more text boxes or overlay them. If you want to add text, it can only be placed in certain areas, such as the center, each corner, and middle of each edge. The available choice of layouts on each slide offers rigid design tools, in comparison to both Picsart and Canva. In the editor, the user can pick a color and font theme each theme offers several choices of color combinations. To create a video from scratch, CC Express uses a design model based on the now-retired Adobe Spark where the user first has to pick one of the seven templates or start with a blank one. CC Express offers several quick actions for video content such as trimming, resizing, merging with other videos, converting to GIF, reversing, and a few others, but it’s not particularly robust beyond those. Video Editing is Supported, But Not WellĬC Express’s offering for video editing is not as broad as that of Picsart and Canva. However, Adobe allows the customization of logo and tagline, such as for video outro. For example, Canva gives a library of palettes to discover which consist of six colors, although more can be added. Unlike Canva, CC Express is slightly more limited when it comes to brand colors. CC Express doesn’t have a section for subheading font choice, though. These branded attributes can be applied to projects to maintain consistency across all projects.Īt the first glance, Adobe’s branding tools appear limited, however, once you add three main attributes - logo, primary color, and font type - more options appear such as the choice of font for headings and body text and the appearance of light, medium, and dark themes. Same as Canva’s premium access, CC Express has a section for “Brands.” There, users can add a logo, primary color, and font type. A bonus for those who used Spark in the past: CC Express pulls in previous Spark projects. The navigation menu on the left of the page shows “Projects,” such as recent projects and those shared with the user. Everything you need to get started is there. It offers a choice of various templates across different formats, such as Facebook and Instagram posts, posters, flyers, collages, resumes, menus, and many more. The home page of the platform is built similarly to Picsart and Canva.
