The Power of Video Montage with a Custom Song
Step 1: Begin Your Creative Journey
Start by visiting the Songfinch website. Here, you'll have the opportunity to personalize a song that resonates with your specific occasion, whether it's a birthday, anniversary, farewell, or simply a meaningful moment. The aim is to capture the sentiment and essence of your experience.
Step 2: Share Your Story
Songfinch invites you to share your story through a series of thoughtful questions. These prompts help you articulate your emotions, experiences, and the essence of your memories. By delving into the details, you provide the songwriters with the raw materials they need to craft lyrics that truly reflect your narrative.
Step 3: The Art of Musical Composition
Once you've shared your story, Songfinch's team of skilled songwriters and musicians get to work, with a turnaround of four to seven days, depending on the selected delivery option.
They'll create a melody that complements your narrative, drawing from a wide range of musical styles. This melodic composition aims to capture the emotions you've expressed, transforming them into a unique and heartfelt song.
Step 4: Bringing it All Together
Once your custom song is ready, Songfinch presents you with a professionally recorded version. This is where VidDay comes into play. As you assemble your collaborative video using VidDay's platform — whether it's a group video gift, a slideshow, or a montage — you have the opportunity to add your custom Songfinch song to your VidDay.
Two Ways to Incorporate Your Songfinch Song into Your VidDay Video
Method 1: Add Song as Background Music
Begin by adding a song to your VidDay playlist.
Opt for "upload your own" to introduce your unique Songfinch song.
For maximum impact, consider positioning it as the opening track in your VidDay video.
Align your photos with the song's duration. You can tweak the display time for each photo, ranging from 4 to 60 seconds.
If there's a video clip in the mix, muting its audio can give your custom song's lyrics the spotlight they deserve.
Method 2: Add Song as Media
As you gather your media, upload your Songfinch song as an audio file to your media gallery.
This approach pairs your song with a static image throughout its duration, ensuring listeners focus on the song and its lyrics.
Note: An upcoming feature will automatically add lyric subtitles, enhancing the experience.
Both methods offer unique ways to weave your Songfinch song into your VidDay video, giving you the freedom to choose the style that best complements your storytelling vision.
