Adobe Spark Video. Easily make video capsules for the class

Last updated on 24 December 2022

Adobe Spark Video is a very simple to use free tool that will allow you to make animated presentations and video capsules for your classes. An excellent tool forAdobe Education  It is also safe to confide in your students.

A great tool that is part of the Adobe Education suite that I have been presenting here for a few weeks. Spark Video is one of the three main functions ofAdobe Spark which makes it possible to work on visual storytelling in all its forms.

Spark Video is a completely free online application that works on your browser, but also on tablets and smartphones if they run on iOS (Android version under development). Handling is particularly intuitive. I will even say playful and you will quickly enjoy juggling images, videos, words, music and special effects.

Spark allows you to create standalone multimedia presentations, or video capsules if you prefer, on which you will be able to record your voice. As usual in this type of Adobe tools, everything is done by simply dragging and dropping. You can use a series of templates that you can adapt to your needs or start from a blank sheet.

Visual storytelling thanks to a real multimedia studio.

Spark Video allows you to build your slide presentation by slide. Each can contain and mix text, photos and even video. All you have to do is upload them to the Adobe platform. For imported videos, you can use a small built-in editing tool to take only one clip instead of the full video. Practical. Spark Video offers a range of themes that will enrich your creation with dramatic transitions and special effects.

The platform also allows you to add music to punctuate your video capsule. You can choose from the music themes offered by Spark or upload your own music in Mp3 format. The other main function proposed is to be able to record your own voice via the microphone on your computer. Ideal for commenting on documents or images presented. 

You can constantly preview the result of your final video capsule. You can reorder the slides by dragging them to the editing table.

A good tool to create video capsules for your classes and give peps to your presentations.

Spark Video is a tool that lends itself wonderfully to the realization of small video capsules for distance learning or for inverted classroom experiences. In a short time you will be able to create presentations in video format to explain the different concepts of a course. Ideal to energize or punctuate your presentations.

Spark can also be entrusted to your students. It will allow them to find additional motivation to carry out and make a group work or a presentation via one or more video capsules.

The capsules made by Spark Video can be downloaded in MP4 format. They can also be easily shared by email or on social networks via a single link.

As with most creative tools adobe, you will find countless tutorials, step by step, in text or video, accessible on the web offered by the publisher to help teachers and students to take charge of software.

As for example this pedagogical sheet to allow your students to make a presentation with Spark Video.
