Website review

Published December 5, 2015

WINTER is here and this is when we like to warm up the chilly evenings with hot coffee or milk at an eatery or relatives’ house. And then we take quite a few pictures and make videos while having fun.

Most of us also try edit or bring in more effects to our pictures and videos by ourselves — but it often gets too frustrating and is not always successful. It is time to learn how to make memories remarkable and amazing with Magisto, — a wonderful website which will make or turn your everyday videos and photos into exciting and memorable movies you’ll want to watch again and again.

You don’t have to be a video editor or know anything about video editing at all for using this site; Magisto will do it for you as your own private movie maker. Unlike other movie editors, Magisto will analyse your videos and photos and stitch it together for you, creating a professional looking movie — an edit that you’ll be proud to share with your friends. It simply selects the best parts of your videos and photos, adds your chosen music, themes and effects and splices them into beautiful little movies.

Magisto is a free service but to make a video you have to register and follow the four simple steps; select the video or images from your PC or Google drive; then choose theme from sports, pets, selfie, storyteller to calm, caring moments and dance; the third step is adding audio to your movie choosing from the lists then add a perfect title for your perfect movie; click ‘Make my movie,’ this will take a couple of minutes….

Voila! Your beautiful movie is ready and saved in “My movies” from where you can share it with your friends and family.

Magisto’s free version allows you to create clips that are 15 minutes or less with up to 10 brief videos and five photos. But with the paid membership of course, you will have more options such as you can download the video, can upload up to 25 video clips and 20 photos to create videos that are 25 minutes or less in length.

So what are you waiting for? Let your friends and family see, hear and feel what it was like to ‘be there’ in the beautiful clips they will ever see at http://www.magisto.com/
