How To Make Happy Birthday Video Messages?

In the past, birthday parties were reserved for family and close friends, but now with social media, everyone can be a part of it! But what about those people who live far away or are unable to attend your birthday party? This is where video messages come in handy.

Video messages allow you to communicate birthday wishes to anyone in any location even if they're not physically there with you on that special day. Creating birthday videos has never been easier. A group video of friends and family together is an amazing way to surprise anyone on their birthdays.

Here are Tips on How to Create a Birthday Video Compilation


Step 1: Create a Celebration

First, you need to set up your account and create an event page for that special birthday person. You need to create an invitation link that will be sent out to anyone you want to contribute to the video.

You need to enter the name of the birthday person and select "Birthday" for the occasion. Enter a due date for when they would like to have the birthday video message submitted to the gift link. Once you're done, it's time to invite friends and family to record birthday videos!

Step 2: Send Invite

Invite a group of friends and family to record and upload their video clips for the birthday celebrant.

You can invite as many people as possible to participate in the video, the more, the merrier! There are two ways to invite people sending a link via email or you can copy the invitation link and send it via text message, Messenger, WhatsApp, or whichever way works best for you. You can even ask people to forward the link to others, in case you don’t know all the friends of your gift recipient.

When your friends tap your birthday gift link on any device, they’ll be able to record a Happy Birthday video as well as upload pictures without having to create an account.

You will be notified via email whenever anyone responds.


Do contributors need an account to record a birthday video message?

No, only the person who's initiating the surprise birthday video needs an account.


Step 3: Collect videos and organize

All the submitted video messages, wishes and photos will be collected in your account clipboard. You can drag and drop them to your timeline where you can preview and arrange the birthday videos in any order. The final video will only include clips in your timeline.


Step 4: Add your touch

Now it's time for your creative input!

To compile birthday messages into one surprise birthday gift, start by organizing the video clips in your preferred order. You can then just press a button to combine everyone’s birthday wish messages into one heartwarming video!

You can also optionally include some personal touches to your birthday video gifts like adding beautiful photos, GIFs, stickers, background music, and cards. It would give the birthday video montage more meaning for the recipient.

This birthday video maker makes it easy - no video editing skills are required - and you can edit as much or as little as you want.‍

Can you add customized text and music to the video?

Yes, you can add customized text on top of pictures and videos. Along with text, you have the option to add background music from any of the selections in the song library or upload a favorite tune.

If you want to add your own text, just tap the photo and select the "T" button and then tap on “Add Text Clip”. You can then edit and customize your text as you please.

You can also be creative in the editing process, adding stickers and GIFs giving an added special touch.‍

Step 5: Process and Share with Family and Friends

Tap the PROCESS MY VIDEO button to merge all clips in your Timeline into a single HD video.

If you'd like to make changes or additions later, you can reprocess at no extra cost.

Processing usually takes 3-5 minutes for every minute of video.

You can download the video to your hard drive after it's been processed.

This will create a video slideshow that is playable across all devices. You can also post it directly on your Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.

You also have the option of sharing a link to the video with family and friends. The choice is yours. We do not automatically share it with anyone.‍

Step 6: Celebrate the Moment Together

Don't forget to watch the birthday video gift together with your birthday recipient and all of your friends. Your friends and family can celebrate the happy birthday video together with joy even if they are not physically present.

This is a meaningful way to celebrate the big day because you've made it extra special for that person — one they'll remember forever!

Share with contributors

Contributors who have specifically requested to see the final video will provide their email addresses when they upload their contribution. But the choice is still yours. You’ll see a list in your app. You can then add or subtract people by checking or unchecking each box.

Once your birthday group party videos have been compiled together, the birthday celebrant will receive a birthday video montage. You can either watch it together, or, if you can’t be with them, send them a link with an invitation to watch.

The video can be shared with people by copying the link and sending it via any messaging app, email or through social media like your Facebook page and you may also download it as a keepsake.
