VIDEO INTERVIEW

Ask friends and family to share memories about the person celebrating a birthday. Mix in the video interviews with photos and add music to make a unique video gift.

The Elements of an Amazing Birthday Video

TELL A CLEAR STORY

Before you begin, think about how you'll organize your video. Will it be chronological? Will you share images related to a hobby or theme? Choosing your angle ahead of time can make creating a video much easier.

MAKE YOUR VIDEO THE RIGHT LENGTH

Keep your video to under a minute if you're creating a birthday invitation or e-card. For a happy birthday video for a loved one, make it about 2-3 minutes. That means being choosy about your visuals. Instead of adding every video clip or picture you have, just include your very best.

SELECT FESTIVE VISUALS

Include a photo of the person whose birthday you're celebrating, along with fun, birthday-ready images. If you can't find enough photos on your own, search our collection of Getty Images stock photos and video clips for birthday stock photos.

Birthday Video Editing Tips

MATCH YOUR RECIPIENT'S STYLE

Animoto lets you personalize your video using custom fonts and colors. Customize your colors and design to match your party theme. Add bright colors and a fun text style for a child's birthday. Try a black-and-white filter and elegant text for a more sophisticated look.

CROP IMAGES AND TRIM VIDEO CLIPS

When you're adding photos or footage, you can adjust them in Animoto to better fit your video. Enlarge images, crop them to the left or right, or show multiple images at once in a photo collage. You can also cut down video clips or mute them in Animoto if you want to cut out the audio.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT BIRTHDAY MUSIC

Whether you want a rockin' birthday video or a quiet, reflective instrumental, our library of commercially licensed music has hundreds of songs to choose from. Go for a straightforward "Happy Birthday" or filter songs by genre
