What is a Video Scrapbook?

October 10, 2007 by Kim 

QAA Video Scrapbook tells a very personal story. It combines some very powerful media–video, photographs, memoriabilia, music, narration–into a priceless video that will be enjoyed by your friends and family for years to come.

A typical video scrapbook lasts from 5-15 minutes, has 1-5 pieces of music, video and photos, and a number of title pages and captions. Your video can also include narration.

Normally, the structure of the video scrapbook is as follows:

  • Title page introducing the video.
  • One to five chapters–each covering a different topic, time period, or theme. These chapters will be the “scenes” when you create a DVD.
  • End credits and/or a message.

Below is a legacy video I created about my great grandparents. It includes a title page introducing them, video captured from old 8MM film, old photographs that I scanned, music, and a Bible verse that ends the video. I created this video using iMovie.

    Create a fresh look to your soccer video by using soccer video backgrounds. Here is a site that has some http://www.studio1productions.com/Animations/sports-5.htm
    They really jazz up your videos.
