The Guide · Chapter 1 of 13

How to read this guide

This guide is the platform's own account of itself: everything a person at the keyboard needs, whichever account they hold. Read it front to back once; afterwards it works as a reference by chapter. Where a studio or page says something itself (a note under a button, Spark's own answer), the platform's words win over this text, because the platform is updated first.

Two words used throughout: a piece is anything the account holds (a clip, a picture, a track, an upload, a finished video); a join is the point where one clip meets the next on the Editor's timeline.
