Great video Angelo ! subscribed. Is it possible to add voice recordings to my magazine for kids to learn the alphabet? So they can practice pronounciation of letters. Thanks.

You can upload media to Express, yes. Go to Media > Upload from Device. The problem with that if you export it as a PDF the audio won't work. You'd have to export the page(s) as videos. You can also embed audio files to InDesign.

@@AngeloMontilla Thank you for the quick reply. What do you recommend :), a plugin or am I able to do my project with just InDesign? thank you.

Wow.. thank you for tutorial. So this express is web based software? But open from indesign or i can direct open from browser? And the purpose (the animation, resize, etc) are for social media post? Not affect the ebook file (Edited) It does affect the indesign file, just more easier to setting the animation than indesign

[@AngeloMontilla]

Yes, it's a web-based, user-friendly tool. One of the many purposes would be for social media. Another use for Express would be delivering projects to clients that are non-designers. You can lock elements that you don't want to move and set up templates so the clients can change text and images only. I really like the translate tool. It's a quick way of uploading a project from InDesign, translating to another language, and downloading another PDF for print or web.

What would you do with the animated page then? Import it back to indesign to save interactive pdf?

[@AngeloMontilla]

No the idea with this video is how to enhance projects from InDesign. Remember, Id already has animation capabilities. But the helpful thing with Express is you can export a MP4 or GIF where as Id doesn't allow that. The animation won't work for PDF.

​So in essence, one can create a project in InDesign, animate it, and then export it as a video in Adobe Express? ​@@AngeloMontilla
