Tips on How to Make a Birthday Video
Plan It Out
Before you begin, think about how you'll want to organize your video.
Will the videos and photos be chronological?
Will you share images related to a hobby or theme?
You can drag and drop pictures, text cards, and videos on your VidDay Event page. Think about the flow you want to create and drag and drop away!
Edit Your Video
Make sure your submissions are the right length.
Is there dead air?
Is there space left at the end?
Donât worry â you can trim off the excess in our video editor.
Or, if you want, we can take care of that for you! Just let us know. We recommend breaking up your videos with pictures.
We recommend adding three photos before or after a two-minute video. Itâs not a hard rule, just something we like, but get creative and see what you want.
Choose a Cover Photo
Select a festive photo of the birthday person for a cover photo.
This photo is included in all of your submission invites. It helps to add a personal touch for those you want to participate.
Donât forget to include pictures of the person whose birthday you're celebrating throughout the video. If you can't find enough images on your own, ask your friends and family to upload their favorite photos of the birthday person.
Donât be limited to just the submissions youâve received. Check on social media, like Facebook or Instagram, to find photos and videos of that birthday person.
