An FAQ I get all the time about birthday video editing is this: how do I add animations + fun, personal elements to my video? One of the fun parts of sending a birthday message video to a best friend or family member is the personalized touches like animations + text. If you’re hiring a video editor like me, I can take care of this step for you. But if you’re wanting to DIY, here’s an easy tutorial for how to add animations + text to your birthday message video using the InShot app.
Adding text and animations to your birthday videos doesn’t have to be complicated, especially if you’re using an app like InShot. I’ve shared some of my favorite birthday video editing apps for iPhone before, but InShot has the best animations. You also have access to the whole Giphy archive through the app!
