Videograms for Trigger Happy People

This is so perfect for everyone who loves to share photos on any platform. Instead of sending stills as if they were a piece of art open to interpretation, put your subject matter in a video slide show with music and text.

I get no less than 10 to 20 photos a day from folks showing off their grandchildren, kids, pets, six pack, a flower, a bird, and yes, even a meal they made. I do the same to others.

Then one day on Facebook, I spotted a Videogram that Dr. Jay Gottlieb of Miramar, Florida, posted of his infant granddaughters. Just a few minutes later my friend Steve emailed me to say that Jay’s Videogram would make a perfect subject for a DigiDame post. I quickly added it to my list. Jay, a dermatologist, is the father of Amy Greenberg, married to Lonny, son of my friends Myra and Gary Greenberg. Get that? It doesn’t matter.

Instead of the usual silent presentation of a photo share, Jay jazzed it up. So can you. Go to Videogram by Shutterfly and learn more. Between the video that Shutterfly uses for a demo, above, and Jay’s, I think you’ll agree his is the better one.

It’s simple to make a Videogram:

1) Add photos/video clips
2) Select a style/theme
3) Choose a soundtrack

Videograms area available in three resolutions:

•360p – This web-quality loads quickly and is ideal for watching on your mobile devices or sharing on social media sites.

•480p – This TV-quality video is great for burning to a DVD or watching on a higher resolution monitor or flat screen TV.

•720p – This HD-quality video makes everything look crisper and better. Ideal for high-definition monitors and devices.

Have a great time snapping away.
