It is a Draft you saved so you can run it again. It holds the plan Spark made, so you only add what changes.

Can I run a format with a different person each time?

Yes. Add a new photo, or pick a character you saved, and Make. The rest of the plan stays the same.

Does the format change if I tweak it?

You can tell Spark what to change before you Make. Your saved format stays as it was unless you save a new one.

Each Make shows its price on the button before you tap, so you always know. Stop anytime and a stopped Make is not charged.

Can I use a format for a product series?

Yes. Add a new product photo each time and keep the same scene and camera.

How to save a video as a format and reuse it with a new photo

Save a Draft as a format and next time you only bring a new photo, whether it is a daily outfit, a product of the week or a pet’s seasonal costume.

What you need

An iPhone with Rift.
One video you are happy with, made in Rift.
A new photo for each run: the next person, pet, product or place.

Step by step

Make the first one. Share a video into Rift, or tell Spark what you want, and Make as usual.
Check it holds up. A format is only as good as its first run. If you want a different pace or camera, ask Spark and Make again before saving.
Save the Draft as a format. From the Draft, save it. Give it a name you will remember, like “Friday fit check”.
Run it again. Next time, open the format and add the new photo.
Make. Check the price on the button and tap Make. The new video lands in your Library.

Lines to try with Spark

“Same walk-up, same light, but with my sister this time.”
“Run my Friday format with this new jacket.”
“Same slow turn, same studio, but with my white sneakers” (add a product photo).
“Same garden shot, with my dog instead of me.”
“Same kitchen scene, but swap in tonight’s dish.”

Tips for a series that holds together

Decide what stays and what changes. A format works when one thing moves (the subject) and everything else repeats (place, light, camera).
Use photos that match. If the first photo was a bright face-on shot, keep the next ones the same, or the results will drift.
Keep it short. Up to 15 seconds fits a regular post. Shorter formats repeat more cleanly.
Name formats by what they do. “Product turn” is clearer than “Test 3”.
Review the first frame. Posts in a series are recognised by their opening. Pick a format with a strong first second.

When a format goes wrong

If a run comes out differently from the first, the cause is almost always the new photo. Compare it to the one you started with: same distance, same angle, same light. Swap it for a closer match and Make again. If the format itself feels tired after a few weeks, make a fresh first video, tweak what you no longer like, and save it as a new format. Keep the old one; it costs nothing to leave it in the list.

Beyond a posting series

A format also suits families and small shops. A birthday video you reuse for each child, a menu item reveal each week, a real estate walk-through with each new listing photo. Anything you do more than twice is worth saving once.
