What Can Be Even Better Than Pictures?? Videos!

video tips Feb 28, 2024

While PICTURES have the ability to capture moments in time like nothing else can, VIDEOS have the ability to bring those memories to life.

Hearing the voices of your loved ones and seeing their personalities shine through the screen is absolutely priceless!  

Lucky for us, long gone are the days of carrying around bulky camcorders or watching videos from our VCRs... with today's technology we can do it all from our phones! 

So while I usually stick to sharing tips about pics, today we're going to talk about videos!

 


Tip #1: FIND AND WATCH YOUR VIDEOS

This can be a time sucker, but I promise you will laugh, cry and be filled with so much emotion you'll wonder why you don't do this regularly! 

    Apple Users: 

  • Open the Apple Photos app from your phone
  • Click "Albums" from the menu at the bottom of your screen
  • Scroll down to "Media Types"
  • Click on "Videos"
  • Pick one of your gems to watch! 


      Google Users: 

  • Open the Google Photos app from your phone
  • Click "Search" from the menu at the bottom of your screen
  • Type "videos" in the search box at the top of your screen
  • Pick one of your gems to watch! 

 

Tip #2: TAKE A VIDEO OR TWO A WEEK
Take them of everyday things with your kids and grandkids, friends and family. Someday you will look back and be filled with joy as you watch all these moments you have frozen in time! 


Tip #3: ASK YOUR AGING LOVED ONES TO SHARE THEIR FAVORITE MEMORIES
Record them as they tell you about their life; You will love having their voice and stories someday when they're gone.


I hope you are able to watch a few of your own videos and are reminded of the importance of continuing to take them in the future!

Have a great week!

All the best,
