7 Creative Ways To Use The Motion Books
Videos are incredibly important these days which is why we at The Motion Books have invested time and effort into creating quality products to showcase your most memorable events. Simply open your video book and watch your video come to life! Here are 7 creative ways to use The Motion Books video book:
1. Showcase a slideshow of images
Couples often have lots of photos from their wedding but no way to display them. In creating a slideshow of your favorite images, they can showcase their pictures in a video book for all their family and friends to see. If you need help creating a slideshow, we suggest using Animoto or Adobe Spark to easily make a video with your favorite photos. For questions about how to add videos or photos to The Motion Books, check out our LEARN page.
2. Personal message to the bride/groom
One great wedding gift idea for a bride or groom is recording a personalized message to share with your significant other to watch on the day of their wedding! Simply upload your video to The Motion Books and deliver a sweet message to your soon to be husband or wife as they get ready for the best day of their lives. This wedding gift will definitely bring out a smile or even a tear (of joy).
3. Wedding guestbook alternative
Wedding guests love to hear about the love story leading up to the happy couple’s wedding day. What better way to share this by displaying your proposal video, engagement photo slideshow, or love story video on a beautiful video book on your wedding day! Simply upload your video onto The Motion Books and place it next to your guest book for all to see! Or better yet, include a pen and pass around your video book throughout your reception for guests to view and sign! There are endless way to share your love story in The Motion Books.
4. Message from friends and family for a special occasion
In today’s day and age, it can be difficult to get the whole family together for an anniversary or birthday. One great way to remedy this is by gathering video messages from friends and family and combining them to create one sweet message in a video book. Imagine your loved one opening their video book to see all of their closest family and friends wishing them the best on their anniversary or birthday. Giving a message in The Motion Books makes for a sweet and unique gift for any special occasion.

6. Send a video book to a loved one in the military
Messages from family and loved ones mean the most for those in the military. Imagine them opening a video book that will reconnect them to life at home. A video message that they could see and hear means so much more to those serving over seas. Send your wedding video for your anniversary or simply a video message for them to hold as a keepsake wherever they go. The Motion Books is the perfect gift for your loved one in the military.

When will I get it?
The Motion Books
Most orders are shipping the same day. Typical shipping time in the USA is 3-5 days.
Jacob
How do you upload background music?
The Motion Books
Simply upload a .mp3 file to the video book and the photo slideshow will now have music playing in the background.
Stef M
Can you load a video that is on a CD?
The Motion Books
If you’re comfortable doing it yourself, you can simply copy the video file from your CD or DVD onto the video book.
If you’d prefer us to take care of it for you, we can definitely help! Just add any video book style/design to your cart and include our DVD to Digital service (https://themotionbooks.com/shop/dvd-to-digital/). That lets us know to wait for your CD/DVD and handle the transfer for you.

Does it need to recharge to keep it active?
The Motion Books
The Motion Books will eventually need to be recharged as it is an electronic device – just like an iPad for example. But it can play your videos many times before needing to be recharged.
The Motion Book only uses power when you open it to play a video. When it’s closed, it’s completely off. Over time, the battery may slowly lose charge (just like any rechargeable device), so we recommend giving it a quick recharge once in a while — especially if it hasn’t been used in a while — to keep it ready to play anytime.
Shirley
Do you have music that comes with the book r can I download a dvd I have?
The Motion Books
We can upload videos from your DVD. Simply add our DVD to Digital service https://themotionbooks.com/shop/dvd-to-digital/ and we can help make it happen for you.

What is the resolution of the screen ?

Hello,
Can I download wedding photos and a highlight video into this video book?
The Motion Books
Yes. You can load videos and photos onto the video book. Videos will always play first followed by a slideshow of the photos. We recommend adding a music track so the slideshow has background music. Let us know if you have any other question, we are here to help.
Caitlin
Hello, I am interested in gifting this to my parents for their anniversary! Once the video is uploaded, how long does it take to ship to Denver, Colorado?
The Motion Books
Most orders ship the next day. Delivery is about 4 days for Colorado, but we have expedited options for even overnight.

Do you have books that hold pictures? I would like to create a book for my grandson’s year of baseball.
The Motion Books
Hey Melinda, our video books do hold images/pictures. So you can simply copy images to the video book drive and they will play as a basic slideshow.
Mark
Does it play sound as well?
The Motion Books
Yes, of course. It does have built-in audio. So all videos on the video album will play with sound.
Christine
I’m old, and my wedding video in on VHS, can that be converted into something like this?
The Motion Books
Hey Christine, unfortunately, we do not offer a video digitizing service at this point. However, there are many services like Walmart that offer this service. You can check it out here:https://www.dvdwalmart.com/services-and-pricing/videotape-transfer.
Once your video is digital, The Motion Books would be perfect to play your videos in a convenient way – right at your fingertips.
Meta C
Love this product, what a special gift! I was wondering, if I upload a video to the book, could I erase the video later and replace it with another video?
The Motion Books
Hey Meta, Yes, You can add and remove as many times as you need. The video book is just like a flash drive. You simply plug your video book into your computer and copy/paste/delete files. Let us know if you have any other questions.
Stephanie
Hi. I love this. I have one professional wedding video and lots of other short videos taken by friends. Do I have the option of uploading multiple different videos to one book?
Natalie Khodakovskaya
Hey Stephanie, you can upload as many videos as you’d like as long as it’s under 4gb and about 2 hours of good quality video or 3 hours of decent quality video.
Amanda C
How many photos/videos can it hold?
