Step 2. Load Your Photos and Video Clips
Add your images and video clips. Select the beautiful ones that depict the birthday person and his or her important life events and happy moments. Don’t just throw it all onto the storyboard: mix some contents into collages to make the slideshow look solid. If you are short on photos, it’s a good idea to add a few stock happy birthday pictures from the Internet.

To make the video look bright and lively, add some animated happy birthday images. Try not to go over the top though - no one likes to watch a motley mess of pictures and music.
Step 3. Add Heartwarming Congratulations
Beautify your slides with stylized captions and texts. Add some funny quotes or gather happy birthday wishes from the person’s relatives. You can insert some slides with poetry as well.
