Adobe Express vs. InShot

Basically, I truly find that Adobe Express is pretty much great for all professional scenarios because it offers many creative options and comes with an extremely robust collection of assets (stock photos, videos, music, and graphics) all of which can be edited and enhanced within Adobe Express if needed. One project that it was quite helpful with utilizing was creating a logo for one of our clients. I was able to create the prototype and then offer several iterations of said logo to help the client quickly decide on its official branding. By having all of my assets neatly stored right on my Adobe Express project folder it was very easy for me to remain organized when creating various outputs.

InShot’s aspect‑ratio presets make it easy to adapt content for different channels. Enhancing Raw Footage with Basic Audio and Text
InShot is great for polishing simple footage with voiceovers, subtitles, and music. I used InShot on my mobile phone because it super easy and quick to provide social media images and videos for social media.

• It could have a search bar which searches through other Adobe products (esp for Stock images, videos, audio) from within Adobe Express.
• It could make it so switching between Adobe products from within Adobe Express almost like a tab function is smooth.
• It could partner with other companies to allow for company specific events in exchange for valuable products or programs.

I foresee Adobe Express becoming the "go-to" platform for everyone except professional, high-level designers. It is a relatively easy-to-use tool that allows users to create a wide variety of visuals quickly. Because it is a template-driven tool, the in-house design team has the ability to make brand kit available to keep visuals on point

The user interface is pretty straightforward to use. It has easy to navigate navigations, and the canvas UX is also pretty good. One thing i would like to add it to use shortcuts to add elements on canvas. Like if I am on canvas and I press 'T' on my keyboard the text box should be added automatically

I give InShot a 10 because it excels at what it’s designed for: fast, simple, high‑quality mobile video editing. InShot improves our workflow, reduces costs, and empowers more people across the organization to create effective visual content. InShot is consistently dependable. It rarely crashes, exports quickly, and handles everyday editing tasks smoothly. InShot’s great for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and other platforms save time and ensure our content is formatted correctly the first time. I highly recommend InShot for both personal use and business

Overall, the Adobe Creative Cloud Express is worth a try and may be a good fit for many organizations and businesses. At a monthly rate, the cost is not prohibitive, but the tools are somewhat limited and not necessarily worthwhile when compared to standard applications and software that are often available free or through a package of services commonly found on workplace computers.

I think Adobe Express is a bit behind Canva, but as an Adobe Community Expert, I try to provide as much feedback as I can to help improve Adobe Express. ADobe Express does a better job than InShot and a few other apps, but isn't quite there against Canva, I'm sorry to say!

The ability to add logos, consistent text styles, color palettes, and watermarks helps us maintain brand identity without needing a full design suite. I selected InShot because our organization prioritizes speed, mobility, and hands‑on editing control. We frequently create short‑form videos from live events, field visits, and quick internal updates, and InShot allows us to record, edit, brand, and publish directly from a mobile device.

Adobe Creative Cloud Express is included with an Adobe Creative Cloud account. Our company has a corporate team membership so it is nice to have a professional and powerful tool that anyone on our team can use for free. The pricing structure of giving the tool away for free will be fundamental to users utilizing the tool. Similar tools, such as Canva, cost significantly more but do not offer the same features

The professional services for Adobe Creative Cloud Express is top notch and should be highly commended. I am thoroughly impressed with how far Adobe has come. In the past, I had several issues with how something were handled, but in the past few years things have been better than ever and they get no complaints from me
