Click on the Media button in the control panel to insert photos, videos or audio into your video. 

In the Photos tab you will have the option to insert photos either from the Adobe stock image collection, by using their text-to-image AI generator or by uploading your own images. 

Under Videos you can choose from Adobe's stock footage collection or uploading your own content. 

Audio gives you the option of choosing background music from Adobe's collection of stock music, uploading your own music or recording a voiceover directly into your video.

To add a text box to your scene, click on the Text tab on the control panel. 

You will be presented with the option to either Add your text, use a template, or use Text effects to generate a stylized text with AI. 

Modifying your text

Once you have added your text to your scene, you can click on the text box to modify the text. Here you can change the size, font and look of your text, its layout, and add text effects like shapes, animation. 

Templates are a great way to find some inspiration for your design. Some templates are static while other templates have have animations or stock footage. It will be up to you to decide how much of a template you want to bring into your video. You can use the whole template as part of your video, or pick and draw only certain elements from the template you bring in. 

Working with Pages in Adobe Express Video

Adobe Express uses pages to help users organize multiple artworks at the same time.

When you bring in a template into you video you will be prompted with the choice of adding it as a page or Starting a new project. 

Generally, you would want to add it as a page into your existing project and then draw from it by copying from the new page and pasting the elements you want to use into your existing page. Use the stacked icon located near the sharing section to access your pages. 

You can add shapes, icons, backgrounds and other design assets by navigating to the Elements tab in the control panel. 

Modifying your design asset

Once you add the asset to your scene, you can tap the asset to modify its appearance, colour or to add an animation. 

Do note you most likely will need to grant Adobe Express permission to access your microphone. 

First ensure the correct microphone is selected and then, when you are ready to record, press the Start recording button. 

Tip: It is a good idea to leave a one second pause at the start and end of your recording. This extra space will be helpful when repositioning your narration.
