How to make a first-day-of-school video from a photo of your kid or yourself

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a clear first-day photo of your child, or yourself, in Rift and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, what happens: walking through the school gate, waving, a big bright morning. Check the Draft, tap Make, and you get a video of up to 15 seconds in your Library to send to grandparents or keep as a memory.

Tips

Questions people ask

Should I share a video of my child publicly?

That is your call. A private family chat is the safest place, and ask other parents before showing their children.

Can I show the real school?

Add your own photo of the gate or building and ask Spark to keep the place as it is.

Can it be me heading to a first day at work or college?

Yes. Use your own photo and name the place and the mood.

Can I make one every year?

Yes. Save the Draft as a format and run it again with the new photo.
