Depending on how often you take photos and videos, this might be more and less frequent. To keep them all organized, there are plenty of options that can work.
As one idea, I save all my photos and videos by year and then by month. Within this folder, I have a folder for videos and a folder for photos. Naming the folders by year and then by month ensures they automatically save in chronological order, which works for me.
None of these options are free beyond a limited amount of storage, but any method hard drive, cloud, etc… will cost a minimum fee of some sort. I used to pay a small annual fee for our Dropbox space. Most often, iMovie is the default movie making software for recreational movie makers like to use.
Turns out, Windows offers a program called Windows Movie Maker. The PRO version has greater functionality but also allows you to save a video while creating it so you can close and come back to it to finish it or edit another time. On the toolbar below, you can see that you can change the video volume, modify the speed and trim the length of the clips with relative ease.
Windows Movie Maker is really intuitive and easy to use. That included some Googling and Help section searches to figure out how to use the program, searching for the right song in Soundstripe, and pulling together all the pieces in Movie Maker Pro. Sometimes the original sound from the video is relevant to maintaining the memories. Other times, a montage with a music overlay creates a fun cohesive story for the whole event.
Movie making software iMovie and Movie Maker makes it easy to choose one song to play during the whole connected family movie of videos and clips. I did this toward the end of the DIY Confetti video at the bottom of this post. When making family video montages, I generally prefer to add a music overlay to string together the disparate videos. There are many great options for finding music for your family videos.
If you want to share the videos on social media, be aware that there may be some limitations due to copyright if you use certain protected songs.
Sometimes you can use copyrighted music and the musician earns a small commission whenever someone watches your video. My favorite online music warehouse is SoundStripe. They offer tons of music options that come without any trademark or copyright limitations.
With a membership , all downloads are royalty-free. I really like it a lot. If you make lots of family movies and videos or are using the videos for a blog or other commercial purpose, definitely check it out.
When I wanted a particular song, I downloaded it from iTunes. But for purposes of fun, non-commercial family videos, go nuts. You can share on social media or via one of several cloud data storage providers OneDrive, Google Drive, etc….
You may also choose to use a wi-fi enabled photo frame to share videos. We have used a Skylight Frame , which is a great way to share photos and videos with family. Video sharing requires an annual membership but may be worth it if you are sharing lots of videos in a private setting. YouTube offers both public and private channels. I think this is the best option given the simplicity and price whopping zero dollars. In addition to my Honestly Modern YouTube channel , I have a separate private YouTube channel for personal videos that I share with friends and family.
If you prefer not to have your videos online at all, share them to a cloud storage system like OneDrive or Google Drive. Then share the link with family and friends so they can relive all your great family moments from wherever they are.
While you can record vertical videos on your phone, nearly all recreational video and movie making software and applications assume horizontal orientation aside from Instagram. I use it sometimes, though not all the time. Windows Movie Maker makes it really easy to add extra slides at the beginning and end of the video.
You can upload photos in the same way that videos are uploaded. When it makes sense, you can also add text overlays over the video to describe important parts or areas where you want to give context to the memory.
Words might help you remember locations, special circumstances, or funny comments in more detail. Fading in the music volume at the beginning of the video and fading out at the end of the video enhances the finished feel of the movie.
To me, this very small change made a really big difference. Below, you can see the Music Edit functions have a simple and straightforward toolbar to make the changes easy. With a little creativity and the Slideshow Creator in VEGAS Pro , quickly and easily turn a presentation of still images into a fun, imaginative, animated sequence which will engage family, friends, clients, and business associates.
Dazzle and delight your viewers with a video montage worth remembering! A video montage displays a succession of usually still images in a dynamic, energetic way. A video montage can be a great way of presenting stills of a birthday party, the bride and groom growing up, a family reunion -- or in a professional setting, workplace photos, workplace functions, charity events, wrap parties, or anything else where a lot of pictures are taken.
The pictures move across the screen in planned and meaningful ways, with transitions between them which can range from whimsical to very professional. Most effective montages are set to music , and really artistic and creative montages also employ visual effects beyond the animation and transitions, as well as sound effects for a totally immersive experience.
You can create video montages manually in almost any video editing software, but some software includes tools specifically for generating a montage automatically. Just choose and arrange the photos you want in your montage, set a few parameters , and the Slideshow Creator does the rest. The Slideshow Creator window opens.
The Pictures tab is open by default. The Open window appears. Navigate to the folder containing your images. Your images now appear in the Slideshow Creator window. Or click Shuffle to arrange them randomly. Click Move Selected -1 to move the image or group of images one image to the left, or ahead in the sequence.
Or, set an overall length for your slideshow, and the Slideshow Creator will automatically adjust the duration of each photo to fit within the total length you define. Select a transition style from the list. There are many different transitions to choose from. If you want to change your settings in the future, you can return to this menu via teneightymagazine.
