Tips for making professional quality holiday videos
Find photos and video clips for your video
Decide what kind of images you want ahead of time. Are you reviewing the year that’s gone by? Celebrating with a merry christmas video? Or do you want to promote your sales? Take a look through your social media accounts or smartphone gallery to find photos and video clips you can use. If you have printed photos you want to include, scan and upload them to your device. Don’t have enough photos? Look through our collection of Getty Images stock photos and footage to find what you need for your holiday video.
Personalize your holiday slideshow
Make your holiday slideshow your own! Select colors and fonts to match your classic holiday theme or brand. You can go with traditional christmas colors and pick a red and green palette, make a wintery slideshow with soft blues and whites, or get ready for new year’s eve with elegant black and white. You can also add a personalized merry message, adding text over photos, collages, or video clips.
Add a holiday song to your video slideshow
Music adds holiday magic to your videos! The Animoto library has dozens of songs for the holidays. To narrow down your choices, search for holiday songs under “genre” in our music selector. Choose from famous christmas carols, hanukkah music, or seasonal instrumentals. Have a specific song in mind? You can also upload your own licensed holiday music to Animoto.
