Adobe Spark Video is a free, fully-online tool that makes video creation as easy as creating a slide show. Start from scratch or use a template, then add video, text, and images within 4 simple but effective layouts.  Seamlessly record narration and upload a soundtrack or choose from free stock audio options.  You can even start working on a computer, then continue the same project on any Apple mobile device with the Spark Video iOS app.  Spark would be a great choice if you need to create something quickly, but don’t need a lot of flexibility in your method.  Its easy and intuitive interface also make it a great tool for students to use to create their own projects.  Some of its drawbacks are a video clip duration limit (30 seconds max), virtually no audio, video, or photo editing features, and highly limited flexibility.

Spark is pretty easy and intuitive to use, but if you would like a basic walk-through on how to make a video, check out this tutorial from Tom Kartelias, or search for your own online.
