February is the month of love.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s around this time of the year you can see confetti, chocolates, roses, and heart-shaped balloons all around you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The V-day buzz calls for a lot of romantic gestures, shopping, and planning surprises.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>NRF<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>over 52% of U.S. adults plan to celebrate Valentine\u2019s Day this year, spending a total of $21.8 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Valentines<\/p>\n

The day accounts for spending a lot of money on expensive gifts and experiences.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But big romantic gestures need not always be materialistic or dramatic.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, Google<\/span> revealed<\/span><\/a> in 2020 that searches happening around valentine\u2019s day are not always about tangible gifts but also about getting creative with conveying your emotions!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Valentine's<\/p>\n

Source:<\/span><\/i><\/a> Think with Google<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

On Valentine\u2019s Day, there are almost as many searches for \u201cvalentine\u2019s day\u00a0 gifs\u201d as \u201cvalentine\u2019s day gifts.\u201d The search for GIFs has a specific spike around February 13 and February 14.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not just that, searches for Valentine\u2019s Day quotes actually exceed both GIFs and gifts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Does that mean you have to create Gifs for your Valentine?<\/span><\/p>\n

Not exactly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This search trend gives us one insight: People want to treat their loved ones with creative and personalized gifts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whether it is a cute compilation of <\/span>digital memories of all the special moments that you have spent together or your favorite quotes and gifs – a cute video would be a great way to sweep ’em off their feet!<\/span><\/p>\n

With a DIY video maker like Animaker, all it takes is a few minutes to whip up a beautiful video.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, you can create a valentine\u2019s day video using Animaker in two ways:<\/span><\/p>\n

Create a valentine\u2019s day video with a template on Animaker<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

Create a valentine\u2019s day video on your own from scratch<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

We\u2019re going to share a step-by-step guide for both ways!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get started.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to make a video for valentine\u2019s day<\/b><\/h2>\n

Create a valentine\u2019s day video with a template on Animaker<\/b><\/p>\n

Animaker\u2019s <\/span>valentine\u2019s day video maker<\/span><\/a> is easy-to-use and straightforward. The asset library has loads of characters, stock images and videos, properties, music tracks, 2d backgrounds, and more that help you create stunning live-action and animated videos.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To top it off, the app is also loaded with pre-built templates that make video creation possible in minutes. You simply pick a template, swap out properties, characters, and text animations and make it yours.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let\u2019s see how to work with valentine\u2019s day templates and quickly create a video.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.If you already have an Animaker account, go ahead and <\/span>sign in<\/span><\/a>. But, if you are new, you can create an account <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

2.Once you are in the app, you can see the dashboard. Go ahead and type on the search bar for the use case you are looking for (valentine\u2019s day in our case).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Search<\/p>\n

\u00a03. <\/span>Upon clicking enter, you will be redirected to the moments page which will show you different valentine\u2019s day templates for you to choose from. You can choose your favorite one by clicking on the \u201cPreview\u201d button that appears when you hover over the template.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"valentine's<\/p>\n

4. Once you finalize your template, you can click on the \u201cUse\u201d button that\u2019s beside the \u201cPreview\u201d button. This will launch the template as a project.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Now, what you see on the left side of the screenshot (see below) is the asset library. With the assets available in the library you can customize almost anything you want on the template. You can replace every element including images, colors, texts, music tracks, properties, and more. Alternatively, you can also upload your own assets.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"animaker<\/p>\n

6. Let\u2019s start customizing scene 1 on this template. So, let\u2019s begin by editing the text. To edit the text, you can simply click on the text and then type and replace the existing text with the one you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

Click on the text on the scene and you will see the options appear on the right to format the text. You can change the font style, size, color, alignment, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Edit7. So, now if you want to swap out the background image, you can click on the scene and an item menu appears. Click on the \u201cSwap\u201d icon. This will take you to the massive collection of stock images.<\/p>\n

\"swap<\/p>\n

Scroll through the stock images and simply click on the one you like to replace the stock asset on the template and click on the \u201cApply\u201d button.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Replace<\/p>\n

Note: You can also alter the entry and exit effects of all the elements by simply clicking on the \u201cEnter effect\u201d and \u201cExit effect\u201d. For instance, if you want to change the entry\/exit effect for the text, then, click on the buttons below the text formatting options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can scroll through various transition effects and choose the one that you want for your text.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"text<\/p>\n

Once you click on the effect you can see pink and purple bars on the timeline.<\/span><\/p>\n

As you can see from the above picture, the purple bar shows how long the selected element stays in the timeline. To adjust the duration of that element, simply drag in or out black bars. The same applies to every element you wish to customize. <\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In the same way, when you click on an animated element, you can see the pink bar in the timeline. The pink bar depicts the duration of the entry and exit animation and it can be adjusted the same way as any other element.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. The next step is to replace the music track on the template. To do that, just click on the existing music track and choose the delete option (see below).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"addOnce you delete the existing music track you can replace it with the one of your choice by clicking on the music icon in the library. You can choose your favorite one by simply hovering over the music track to hear the preview.<\/p>\n

Once you know what you want simply click on the music track and it will be automatically added to the timeline. You can even upload your own music track (which will be discussed in the further section).<\/span><\/p>\n

There are also various other options available – adjust volume, duplicate track, trim, preview, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

9. Now, what if you want to add your own pictures, videos, and music tracks you can do so by uploading the assets through the upload option.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"uploadChoose the asset that you want to upload from the local folder and click on \u201copen\u201d. This will be added to the upload section on the Animaker app.<\/p>\n

\"chooseWhen you click on the added asset on the uploads it will appear on the workspace. You can set it as a background, add filters<\/a>, swap it, and do a lot more (check out the options on the item menu that appears upon clicking on the image\/video).<\/p>\n

\"photo<\/p>\n

You can also upload music tracks in the same way.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a010. <\/span>After adding all the elements, preview the video to ensure that everything looks fine. Select the <\/span>Scene Preview <\/span><\/i>option to preview a particular scene and use the <\/span>Video Preview <\/span><\/i>option to preview the entire video.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"previewOnce you are done, click on <\/span>Publish -> Download video<\/span><\/i>. You can rename it, select the preferred video quality, and then click on <\/span>Download<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"download<\/p>\n

You can download the video once the rendering is completed.\u00a0 Additionally, you will also receive the video link via mail.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Create a valentine\u2019s day video on your own from scratch<\/b><\/p>\n

Creating a valentine\u2019s day video using a template would be ideal if it is planned at the last minute. But, if you have the time and want to get creative, then, you create a valentine\u2019s day video from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n

We’re now going to look at a detailed step-by-step process of creating a video from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to make a valentine\u2019s day video from scratch<\/h2>\n

1. Create a new project<\/b><\/p>\n

To create a video from scratch, first <\/span>login<\/span><\/a> (or <\/span>sign up<\/span><\/a> if you are a new user) to the app and head over to the dashboard.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"animaker<\/p>\n

Click on Create>>Create a video.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will now be taken to the moments page where you can see three predefined blank templates in different dimensions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I am going to choose the horizontal one.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"horizontal<\/p>\n

2. Upload your own media to the project<\/b><\/p>\n

Now, you will see the project (see screenshot below). Before we start creating the video, let\u2019s first upload all the assets like images, videos, or audio that we want to include in our project.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"media<\/p>\n

To upload assets, choose the asset that you want to upload from the local folder and click on \u201copen\u201d. This will be added to the upload section on the Animaker app.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you click on the added asset on the uploads it will appear on the workspace. You can set it as a background, add filters, swap it, and do a lot more (check out the options on the item menu that appears upon clicking on the image\/video).<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Add a background image<\/b><\/p>\n

Now, if you want to add a background image to your scene you can also choose one from the Animaker asset library.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can 2d backgrounds, Stock video, or image background.<\/span><\/p>\n

In our case, we are going to be adding\u00a0 \u201croses\u201d as a background. You can however add 2d backgrounds or even a video background. To add an asset as a background, click on the BG icon\/Image icon\/video icon>> Search for the keyword>> Scroll through to find the best match>>Click on it>>Set as background.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"background<\/p>\n

\"background<\/p>\n

4. Customize the scene<\/b><\/p>\n

This is the most fun part of creating a video from scratch because you can go crazy over here with all the effects, text animations, properties, and more!<\/span><\/p>\n

So, first, let\u2019s see how we can add the uploaded asset to the scene and frame the image.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, head on to the uploads section and click on the uploaded image. This will make the image appear on the scene. You can rotate and resize to match your taste.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"customize<\/p>\n

\"property\"<\/p>\n

Next, you can choose a property by clicking on the <\/span>properties <\/i><\/b>icon. This will show you a bunch of properties that you can add to the scene to make the assets pop out! You can also make use of the search bar to type and look for what exactly you want to add.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, once you pick what property you want to add to your scene, you can click on it.\u00a0 In this case, we are going to pick the \u201cframe\u201d property. Just click on the property and it will appear on the workspace.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can move it around, rotate, and resize it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"format<\/p>\n

\"add\u00a0You can further customize by changing the color, adding effects, and adjusting the transparency.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Not just shapes, you can also look for other properties by clicking on the small \u201c+\u201d icon or by simply typing out your preference on the search bar.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"search<\/p>\n

You\u2019d definitely want to pour your heart out on the video and <\/span>texts<\/i><\/b> are the best way to do that! To add texts or<\/span> pre-built text animation<\/i><\/b>, simply click on the text icon in the asset library and either choose a plain text or scroll through hundreds of text animations.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"edit<\/p>\n

Choose the one that you like the best and it will appear on the scene.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can simply type to replace the default text. Now, you can do a bunch of formatting to the text by changing colors, size, position, and more. To do so, just click on the text and an item menu would open. You can make the edits right there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"format<\/p>\n

Screen effects<\/i><\/b> are a great way to add that quirkiness to your video and for valentine\u2019s day video you may want to make it a lot cuter, right?<\/span><\/p>\n

So, to add screen effects click on the screen effects icon and scroll through a bunch of screen effects, and click on it to add it to your scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"screen<\/p>\n

You can click on the preview button to see how the screen effects look on your video.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"add<\/p>\n

Now similar to how you built your first scene, you can construct the rest of the scenes based on your script.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you have built all your scenes, the next step would be to add transition effects. To add <\/span>transition effects<\/i><\/b> to your scenes simply click on the \u201cEnter effect\u201d and \u201cExit effect\u201d buttons. You can scroll through various transition effects and choose the one that you want for your text.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"scene<\/p>\n

5. Add background music to your video<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n

You can add a new music track by clicking on the music icon in the library and you can choose your favorite one by simply hovering over the music track to hear the preview.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"background<\/p>\n

Once you know what you want simply click on the music track and it will be automatically added to the timeline. You can even upload your own music track (which will be discussed in the further section).<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you add the music track you have the option to adjust the volume, trim it, duplicate it, delete it, and preview it).<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Export your beautiful creation\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

After adding all the elements, preview the video to ensure that everything looks fine. Select the <\/span>Scene Preview <\/span><\/i>option to preview a particular scene and use the <\/span>Video Preview <\/span><\/i>option to preview the entire video.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"export<\/p>\n
