Software Advice offers objective insights based on verified user reviews and independent product and market research. When our advisors match you to a software provider, we may earn a referral fee.

How Software Advice ensures transparency

Software Advice lists all providers across its website—not just those that pay us—so that users can make informed purchase decisions. Users can talk to our advisors for free to receive software recommendations matching their needs. Software providers pay us for sponsored profiles to reach users interested in their products.

How Software Advice verifies reviews

Software Advice carefully verified over 2 million reviews to bring you authentic software experiences from real users. Our human moderators verify that reviewers are real people and that reviews are authentic. They use leading tech to analyze text quality and to detect plagiarism and generative AI.

Independent research methodology

Researchers at Software Advice use a mix of verified reviews, independent research, and objective methodologies to bring you selection and ranking information you can trust. While we may earn a referral fee when you visit a provider through our links or talk to an advisor, this has no influence on our research or methodology.

About New Spark

A simplified and cost-effective digital workflow solution to easily gather, enrich, store, collaborate and publish media assets.

Upload - Why file share and ship hard drives? Upload media assets directly to our platform, or share the secure upload tool to your freelancers, agencies and globally distributed teams. Select assets, project, and send.

Enrich - Once content makes its way to the platform, it's geo-tagged, auto-tagged and transcribed to help find what you need. Use our captioning tool to create searchable dialogue. Perfect for when you're asked "where's the b-roll from that project we did a long time ago?"

Review - Send video for review to stakeholders to comment, like/reply to other comments and attach files - all organized by timecode instead of going back and forth with lengthy email threads to compile your edit list.

Transform - Use our intuitive trim and clip tool to remove unnecessary portions of your video and create short, downloadable clips.

Publish & Sync - Who has time to upload videos and do data entry to various downstream systems like DAMs, OVPs and YouTube? Set up dynamic publishing rules and enforce meta-data / taxonomy governance in the process.

Pros:

So easy to use. Saves us a ton of time. Auto-tagging is great and you can also add your own custom meta-data tags. Setting up project taxonomy was a breeze.

Cons:

Would be good if reporting was centralized within NewSpark as well, so we wouldn't have to use a few different sources for this. Other than that request, we have no issues with this software.

Excellent flexibility and custom development

New Spark provided a solution for receiving media files from users outside our firewall and for reviewing, then direct publishing those assets from New Spark to other tools. Our team worked with New Spark to develop customized API connections, video review/sharing tools, central metadata entry, and direct publishing to YouTube, Brightcove, and Widen. This relationship has been very positive and we have investigated and successfully developed solutions to many different video creation/management needs.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

New Spark developed custom API connections to our existing tools for direct publishing (transfer) of assets (videos, scripts, captions, images, zip files) including custom metadata fields, importing metadata from other tools, editing and updating that data, publishing on demand and on specified dates. These custom features are regularly maintained and support is very fast and thorough. Developers do an excellent job of troubleshooting and finding solutions to meet needs, project management and communication is thorough and reliable. Any glitches or issues are quickly investigated and corrected.

Cons:

The original user interface is overly complex and requires a lot of navigation to find features, a new UI has been released but our customized account will require time/effort to move to the new UI. This is not necessarily a negative since new users will be set up on the new UI. Our extremely large files can cause some issues with upload depending on the user's connection speeds.

A powerful tool for managing user generated content

Overall, New Spark has been a great tool for us and their customer support is exceptional. They are committed to making improvements based on our feedback and the price point is perfect for our non-profit organization.

Functionality

Pros:

Canadian Geographic’s Photo Club is the largest online community of amateur and semi-pro photographers in Canada, so we needed a powerful solution for asset management that makes it easy for users to share images with us and for our team to find publication-worthy submissions. New Spark has been an amazing tool in that regard, with the added bonus of allowing us to run competitions and other promotions to recognize the top photographic talent in our community.

Cons:

Some aspects of the platform could be improved. The search functionality is finicky and requires a lot of fine-tuning of keywords and filters to surface the desired results. It is not easy to make changes to the public-facing site. And the WYSIWYG contest builder, while vastly improved in the new platform, could be better/more intuitive.

the truth is that it is very well developed, but perhaps only small details of improvement are missing, which can be solved as soon as possible and it will be 10/10, for the moment we are 90/10.
