What are video invitations

Whether a person has few or many friends, many people like to throw various parties, be it birthdays, weddings, or even just friendly get-togethers. If you plan to have many guests, it can be a good idea to create a video invitation, which you can simply send to everyone at once later. Video invitations make the process more informative and personalized, as they are easier and faster to perceive than long text. In addition, you can show or mention the key points of the planned event for better understanding.

So, how to make a video invitation? Nowadays, it is very easy and you can do it right from your phone using various editing apps and video invitation makers. However, if you want better control over the process and the result, you should work on your project in an editor with a variety of functions.

Such as our video editor! It’s an online tool that will help you create an invitation for your event quickly and easily. It also comes with a lot of editing features, but the intuitive design will help you figure them out easily and make a fabulous video.

Upload files

Open Clideo’s Online Video Editor and click "Get started".

Use "+" to import all the files you need from your device. If you want to add them from your cloud storage, you can do so too.

Besides your own files, you can also use anything you find by browsing the audio and visual libraries in the menu on the left pane of the editor. For example, in the "Elements" section, there are plenty of popular GIFs that you can use in your video.

You can even record yourself or your voice to make your video invitation even more special.

In the "Canvas" tab, set the aspect ratio for your video to make sure you have enough space for everything. There you can also set the color of the background if at any point there’s an unused space. It can be either a solid color or a gradient, and in the latter case, you can set the colors for it as well.

After that, arrange the files in the correct order on the timeline. If you want to have some of them appear simultaneously, place them above or below each other in the timeline, depending on which one should be on top.

To adjust some settings, select one or a group of files on the timeline or in the player, and the options tab will appear. There you can change visuals, which includes cropping and rotating, changing colors, speed, etc.

To add the text to the invitation, simply select any preset in the "Text" tab, then write everything you need. After that, you can customize the font, alignment, and other aspects of the text.

When you finish editing, click "Export" and choose your preferred option.
Save the result

After the video is exported, you can watch the preview to see how it looks after all the editing. If you like what you see, click "Download" to save the video to your device or cloud storage. And if you want to make some changes, click "Edit" to return to the editor.
