Video gift ideas, tips and stories from Tribute -- how to plan, record and share group video tributes for every occasion.
The best last minute Christmas gifts arrive by email or come from a shop around the corner, but still feel planned: tickets to an experience, a monthly subscription, a dinner reservation with a handwritten card, or a group video from the whole family. Give a plan, not just a product.
The best Christmas gifts for boyfriend shopping are tickets to something he loves, an upgrade to the gear he uses every week, and one sentimental gift built from your time together, like a video book of your year. Add a good bottle of whatever he drinks or the tool he keeps borrowing.
The best Christmas gifts for women are the ones she uses every day: a group video from everyone who loves her, a video book of the family's year, a lip mask, a waffle robe and gold huggies. Here are 14 picks from $24 to $275.
The best sentimental Christmas gifts turn a memory into something they can unwrap: a photo ornament of the year's biggest moment, an old family photo recreated and framed, an advent calendar of 24 notes, or a video book of the family's year. They need a story, not a budget.
Unique Christmas gifts come from one of three places: a skill they've never tried, an object tied to their own past, or their own memories turned into something they can hold. A glassblowing class, a record from their birth year or a video book of their year all qualify.
The best Christmas gifts for uncle fit the role he plays in the family: a group video from his nieces and nephews, a video book of the family's year, a card game for the fun uncle and a multitool for the handy one.
The best Christmas gifts for grandma bring the grandkids closer: framed art they made, a video book of their year that plays when she opens it, a planned visit, or a guided journal for her own story. Add one comfort pick, like a heated throw.
The best Christmas gifts for grandpa keep him warm and keep the family close: a group video from the grandkids, a video book that plays when opened, a flannel robe and a year of story prompts. Here are 12 picks from $9 to $169.
The best Christmas gifts for your husband are the thing he already asked for, an experience you share, or something made from your life together, like a video book that plays your year when he opens the cover. Add one better version of something he carries every day.
The best Christmas gifts for men fix a small daily problem or bring back the people he misses: a group video from his friends, a video book of the family's year, a multi-tool and a meat thermometer. Here are 13 picks from $19.99 to $199.
The best Christmas gifts for parents are the ones they would never buy for themselves: a night away for the two of them, their old home movies restored, a video book of the grandkids' year, or help around the house. What they want is time and family.
The best Christmas gifts for your wife are the ones that show you've been paying attention: a weekend away you planned, jewelry tied to a date that matters, or a video book that plays your year together when she opens the cover. Add a day off and a letter in your own handwriting.
Cropping in DaVinci Resolve lives in one place: the Cropping section of the Video Inspector, with Left, Right, Top and Bottom measured in pixels. It cuts the image. It does not change the size of your video, and that difference causes most of the trouble.
There are two routes to a video caption for Facebook. Burn the words into the picture before you upload, or upload a .srt file named filename.en_US.srt beside the video. Burned-in text always shows. An SRT can be switched off.
You cannot burn text into a video once it is on YouTube. Studio's editor trims, cuts and blurs, and that is the whole list. Everything else is text that sits over the player, or a new upload.
iMovie has no compress button. The size of the file is decided in the share dialog, by three menus: Resolution, Quality and Compress. Drop the resolution one step and a project that came out at 2GB often lands under 500MB.
