Create. Share. Learn... LIVE! 11th Feb 2021

Hello friends!

So I think my first ever solo livestream went well - no technical difficulties, no hiccups... and was only 16 and a bit minutes long (if you include the intro and outro)!

My ever supportive partner in crime watched it and said that I explained things really clearly, and he feels confident that he could jump in and use the app based solely on my video, so ACHIEVEMENT = UNLOCKED!

I am pondering what I should do for my next livestream... am thinking of doing a demo, compare, contrast and follow-me of how I created my show intro and outro in two different apps (for all skill levels):

• Adobe Spark Video (for entry-level) and
• Adobe Premiere Rush (for intermediate-level).

Thinking a good theme for the next show would be a positive word/image association project.
Task:

1. Choose three words that speak to you (can be for work or personal - Work = a safety share, Personal = a family member's birthday)
2. Decide on three videos that reflect those words (videos can be literal or abstract and made yourself or royalty-free from Pixabay/another service)
3. Use those videos to create a project in Spark, and/or Rush, using the each video as a background for the chosen word
4. Choose music from inside the app (there is a great built-in selection for both)
5. Tweak the timing of the video to match it up to the music and make it 'punchy'.
6. Export the finished product and share!

What would really interest me is to see what people's experience is with using Adobe Spark vs Adobe Rush. Rush is available to try for free and export a couple of videos to see how you like it before you commit, and I would be really, really interested to see what people think... and how easy they find each product to use!

What do you think? Is this a good idea for my next livestream? Should I do them once a month? Once a fortnight? Leave a comment below, or 'at' me on Twitter @ErinRaethke.
