How to make a Secret Santa reveal video

Updated · Reviewed by The Rift team

Short answer

Add a photo of the giver in Rift and tell Spark, Rift's video agent, the reveal: a wrapped gift sits on a table, a hand pushes it forward, the giver steps into view. Check the Draft and tap Make for a video of up to 15 seconds, saved to your Library, ready to post in the group chat.

Add a photo of the giver and describe the reveal, and Spark holds the pause and then shows who it was.

Tips

Questions people ask

Can I use a photo of a coworker or friend?

Only with their OK. Ask before you add them.

Can I hide who it is until the end?

Yes. Say "the giver is hidden until the last moment".

Can I add a name on a gift tag?

Text over video is not in the app yet. Say it in the group chat when you share.

Can I reveal more than one giver?

Make one video per giver, each up to 15 seconds, and post them in the group chat.
