How to create a Happy Halloween video card

Every year on October 31, vampires, werewolves, ghosts, witches, and other creatures roam the streets of cities. But there’s nothing to be afraid of — people are just celebrating Halloween! During this time, many content creators make imaginative or spooky videos to show the spirit of this holiday. Whether it’s creative pumpkin carving, fun makeup ideas, or even full-on story shorts, the spirit of Halloween makes you want to try your hand at creating something.

    Besides your own files, the ones from built-in libraries are also available. As such, in the “Audio” tab, you can find free Halloween music by writing “Halloween”, “scary” or any other synonyms in the search bar. Similarly, you can find Halloween-related clips in the “Videos” tab. The "Elements" tab contains stickers and GIFs for almost any occasion as well.

  2. Create a video

    In the “Canvas” tab, choose the aspect ratio that is suitable for the platform where you will post the video — for example, you can select a preset for YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram Story.

    Then, arrange the photos and clips in the correct order in the timeline, add music or sounds, and make them match in length. If you need to increase the duration of an image, simply click it in the timeline and drag the yellow handles on its sides.

    Adjust the settings for each of the assets — resize, flip, slow down the speed of videos, and make other edits to make your Halloween card even more scarier.

    Combine Halloween clips

    In case you want the video to have an interesting overlay and you have a suitable image, GIF, or sticker to do so, just put them above the clip in the timeline, then manually adjust their position and size in the preview area.

    In the “Text” tab, you can add captions by clicking + on any preset or dragging it to the preview or timeline. After that, write the text and edit it according to your needs. For a more scary effect try using the Halloween fonts, for example, try out Creepster, Eater, Butcherman, or Nosifer.
