How to make it
- 1
Pick an energetic song
A track with a strong beat. Hard cuts land best on music that drives forward.
- 2
Add the year's best moments
Sort by date taken for a January-to-December story, or order them for impact.
- 3
Check the year and the sign-off
The title shows the current year and the ending looks ahead to the next. Edit either and export.
Tips
Shorter is stronger
Thirty to 45 seconds with 25 to 40 shots feels fast without blurring together.
Use clips for peaks
A two-second clip of the best moment of each month lifts the whole video.
Square for the feed
Switch to 1:1 or 4:5 for a feed post and export again.
Music and length
30 to 60 seconds for social. A full song works for a family screening.
