I never really paid much attention to Instagram or Facebook Stories, because … well … time. I’ve reconsidered that strategy, because it seems videos get more consistent eyeballs than still photos. Instagram is the sweet spot for short vertical videos … Facebook, stick with stills.

I used Adobe’s earlier versions of graphic/image animators on iPhone, but never really paid much attention to Adobe Express until attending a live Adobe event in downtown Santa Fe. More focused on Firefly (AI), but I was still intrigued with Express.

The software is in flux right now - the mobile version is about to be updated, the desktop version is in the new software cycle (though with limited features compared to the ‘old’ mobile version). Even with the largest iPhone, my thick-ended fingers don’t get the hit-points accurately - iPad is better. But I’ve been spending most of my time learning how to use it on desktop.

Long story short - here are some of my creations. Don’t read into any of this, I’m just grabbing quotes, lyrics and leveraging available Adobe Stock media.
