Simply open your video book and watch your video come to life! Here are 7 creative ways to use The Motion Books video book:

Couples often have lots of photos from their wedding but no way to display them.

In today’s day and age, it can be difficult to get the whole family together for an anniversary or birthday.

If I send the link from vimeo will it be stored externally in the video book? My fear is the photographer will delete the video at some point and then it would not play on the book any longer as well…
Great question. The Motion Books is preloaded with the video physically, so it will continue playing the video no matter what the photographer does to the online link.
The best way is to “airdrop” the photo/videos onto your computer. Then connect the video book to your computer via a provided USB cable and copy/paste the files onto the video book. It’s as easy as using a USB flash drive!
Are there copyright issues if I upload a video that includes pop songs? YouTube won’t allow me to upload videos with songs in them and I was hoping that is not the case with Motion Books.
Unlike YouTube or other online platforms, The Motion Books are completely offline — your videos are stored and played directly from the video book itself. This means there are no copyright restrictions when you upload videos with licensed music or pop songs, since the video isn’t being shared publicly or online. So you can enjoy your video exactly the way it was meant to be — music and all!
Great question! We’ve designed The Motion Books to be as simple and seamless as possible — just open your video book, and your video begins playing automatically (no menus or extra steps needed!).
If you’ve uploaded multiple videos, they’ll play in the order they’re named. To control that order, just rename your files numerically (for example: 01.mp4, 02.mp4, etc.). Enjoy your effortless viewing experience!
In a viral TikTok video, a mother’s heartfelt reaction unfolds as she opens a video album, revealing a video with an AI-generated voice that echoes the warmth of her late husband who passed away from cancer.

Filmed and created by her son Phillip, this emotionally charged video, capturing a moment of love, strength, and holiday warmth, has not only gone viral but has also sparked a surge of inquiries from individuals inspired by the idea of using AI voice cloning to craft cherished memories of their loved ones. At The Motion Books, we’re passionate about delivering a unique video viewing experience. However, the true emotional depth emerges from the innovative and creative videos created and loaded onto our video albums. If you’d like to bring this extraordinary idea to life, read our step-by-step guide.
