Celebrate Classic Christmas Movies with Love Actually-Inspired Video Cards
Twinkling lights adorn the streets and carols fill the air, wrapping us once again in the warm embrace of the holiday season. This year holds a special kind of magic, as we celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of those best Christmas movies that has become synonymous with the holiday season.
As the “Love Actually” cast makes its grand re-entrance to theaters and on streaming platforms, we at Videobolt are excited to guide you through a journey of festive creativity, inspired by this timeless Christmas classic. Here is a video card we made that you can easily personalize.
With this unique blend of two Videobolt's easy-to-use motion graphics templates, you can capture the essence of your favorite movie moments and share them with loved ones. Here's how.
Step 1: Add personalized background to your Christmas card
Creating your “Love Actually”-inspired Christmas card begins with infusing our Textbeat Sync Lyrics template with a blend of festive cheer and romantic allure. Click “Make your own'' and transform our template into your dream holiday card with only a few clicks.
Once in the template editor, select “Media Background” (located under “General” on the left hand side) to swap out the default backdrop with a personalized image or video. Here you can upload videos of you and your loved ones sharing moments of joy to perfectly fit the atmosphere of the movie. Below is an example of how changing the background video can affect the look of your Christmas card.
In addition to replacing the media background, you can edit the predefined copy by selecting the “Lyrics” placeholder on the left hand side of our template editor.
Once happy with how everything looks, click “Produce & Download” to export and get a hold of the first element of your “Love Actually” video card. Please note that the video will be exported without sound as intended, and the music will be added later in Step 4.
Step 2: Further customize your Christmas greeting with a stylish outro
Now it's time to add an elegant outro that wraps up your message with the perfect holiday greeting. To do that, click the “Make your own” below the embed below. This will take you to our editor where you will be able to work on our Christmas Ribbon Reveal template.
To customize your “merry christmas” message with a greeting that resonates better with your Christmas vision, go to the “Media” pane on the left hand side, select “Logo and Tagline,” and click “Logo.” A dialogue box will open giving you an option to “Add Text.” Once you click it, you can easily type in the perfect holiday greeting. Within the same section, clicking on “Tagline” gives you an option to personalize the card with your unique signature.
When all the elements are perfectly aligned with your concept, you can go ahead and export this outro video. Keep in mind that this export will also be silent, and the audio will be added later on.
Step 3: Merge your Christmas card elements with our Simple Video Tools
With both video parts ready, it's time to unite them into a single, seamless Christmas story. The quickest route here is through Videobolt’s Merge Tool, located in the Simple Video Tools collection. Begin by submitting your previously exported videos. Simply click “Upload,” and select "Template exports'' from the dropdown menu. Choose the two videos you've just produced, and they'll swiftly appear in the editor. Check the "Timeline" section, to make sure they appear in the right order. If everything looks good, click "Merge & Download," and magically produce your Christmas card as a single video.
Step 4: Finalize your “Love Actually” card with the perfect romcom melody
The final step in your creative journey is to set your video to the atmosphere of “Love Actually.” We crafted a perfect melody inspired by a romantic Christmas vibe, you can easily download here. To add this tune to your card, return to Simple Video Tools and select the "Add Audio'' tool from the available options. Select the video you just merged using the "Template exports'' feature. Once your video is in the editor, click "Upload audio" and imbue your card with the rhythms of the holiday romance. All that’s left to do is to click “Add Audio & Download”, and that’s it!
Your personalized Christmas card, brimming with holiday magic and reminiscent of the romantic charm in "Love Actually," is ready to warm the hearts of its recipients.
