Video Tip: Spice Up Your Holiday Video

Want to make a holiday video this year that the family will actually watch?  Try adding a nice title and some music. Incorporating just a few easy bits of interest is always a plus, but use restraint. Moderation is the name of the game here. Music should be subtly placed and modestly pitched without distracting lyrics or vocal melodies. Titles should be large and easy-to-read, so lay off the curly-Q font. Check out the Rockin' Holiday Video MindBites for more tips on editing your holiday videos and other how-to insights.
