As a retired teacher in my mid-eighties, may I complement you in your presentation from beginning to end. I was glued to the screen for the full length. Magnificent!

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Thank you 🙏🏾

Awesome introduction tutorial to getting started with Adobe Express. Always love your teaching style. Thank you so much Terry, we appreciate you!

[@leighreynolds8761]

Terry, you are hands down the best teacher I have seen. I have learned a lot from you over the past through years. So when I wanted to learn about Adobe Express I found this post and I am so glad I did. Keep up the good work. You are so helpful, thank you. 😀

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Thank you!

[@ionesawao4097]

So helpful, I need to make fast graphics for social media, so this is perfect! I was trying to do this on my iPad and couldn’t find any of the panels/layers, so will use laptop or pc. Thanks!!

[@fotojaap]

I think this is an awesome way to create content, with your help I can get started soon!

Nailed it Terry

[@marciazeigler3161]

excellent...I have watched 5 other Get Started Express videos and they all assume I know how to use so many things. You went step by step with a novice in mind and I feel comfortable to begin my own project....a small label for a hostess candy gift. Thank you!!!

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Yay!!

[@mikelitecky1549]

[@marvinanderson1863]

I appreciate you sharing this information; it helped me get a better understanding of Adobe Express features!!

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Glad it was helpful!

[@corinnecowper1339]

Wow! Great tutorial.

[@DiDis_dream]

Youre my hero! Thnx so much!

[@Softskills-hiddenPersonalPower]

You and Tina Turner. Inspiration and enjoyment that is "Simply the Best"! Somehow you seem capable of knowing all the Dumbass kind of questions in my mind as I struggle with how to make creative and practical use of the Adobe software and there you are with all the answers presented in such an empathetic way. Party On!

[@jessiegibson9023]

Good video thanks

[@drben3224]

This was a very informative video. Thank you for taking the time to create good content with explanations. Awesome job! Question: I am new to Adobe Express. Can I create an e-book with this tool? If so, do you have a tutorial? Thank you.

[@miketurner3065]

This is a great video, thanks. Definitely going to give it a try. One question though. Does the programme have a "Rulers" or "Guidelines" feature? Or, even better, a "crop and bleed" option when exporting? I design for my art group and need to give the printer a PDF with crop marks shown. Thanks.

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Thanks, not yet.

[@christopherwebstersauti825]

Thanks Terry! Awesome tutorial indeed! I have the free vision, but it never gives me the option to create anything from scratch. It only allows me to create from template. Is this normal?

[@zechef06]

You should have a big + sign top left of the home screen, which lets you create from scratch...

[@adventure9606]

Thanks for this video, I have never tried making a video from my phone or camera but I will now. My questions would be are there transitions available between video clips or I may have missed that section, and are they going to offer templates for making a magazine cover or a poster? Thanks for all the effort you put into your videos, much appreciated !!!!!!!!

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Hi, I show adding transitions between scenes. More templates are always coming.

[@adventure9606]

Hey Terry! Question - I upload my own video to Express, removed its background, then uploaded a pic from my desktop I want to use as my new background for that video. The problem is, when I upload my own background pic, it automatically overrides and covers up the entire original video so the video I removed the background from doesn't appear anymore - even though I still have its audio. I only see the background pic I just uploaded. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

When are they going to add folders to the iPhone and iPad version???

[@TerryLeeWhite]

New mobile versions are in the works.

[@RachelleKS]

Thank you! I recently did my résumé but I found the font sizing was very sporadic. In Adobe Express it would say 62 pt font size I don’t want 62 font size of anything and then the body of my résumé was this teeny tiny .8 point font size I feel like it wasn’t realistic at all. then when I export it is a PDF trying to fix it it took me forever! Finishing my résumé was very very trying, what am I missing??

[@TerryLeeWhite]

The cause could be related to sizing the text frame as a graphic.

[@JimJimJimJim99]

Thanks Terry. Very informative video. I'm currently using the free version and I cannot work out how to create A4 (201x297mm) size documents. This is the usual paper size where I live. I can't find any predefined documents of that size and custom sizes seems to be a premium feature. Can you help?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

More sizes are coming very soon. Stay tuned.

[@JimJimJimJim99]

@@TerryLeeWhite Will do. Thanks.

[@charleslsmith2012]

Can I edit photos in Photoshop Express? If so, how about a video about that, please?

[@TerryLeeWhite]

Not currently.

Are there any plans to add hyperlinks at least for premium users

Is there another way to share a hyperlink file besides PDF. I also share files through hyperlink PDF is this possible

[@kelvinhutt7974]

why dont I see the 'Create from Scratch' option within Adobe Express

[@TerryLeeWhite]

If you click on any size it now starts with a blank page and templates to choose on the left if you want/need them. Basically all icons start with from scratch now.
