Birthday Video Message Free
Collaborative Group Montages
Getting 20 friends to sign a paper birthday card is hard. Getting 20 friends to email you a video file is a logistical nightmare. FlowVideo AI solves the Group Video Problem. We provide a "Contribution Link." You send this one link to Grandma, to the college roommates, to the work friends. They click it, record on their phone, and upload. Our AI automatically receives the clips, normalizes the volume, adds a "Happy Birthday" intro, and stitches it into a tear-jerking montage.

The Digital Greeting Revolution
A text message "HBD" is low effort. A Starbucks gift card is impersonal. But a video of 20 people saying "We love you" is a keepsake that lasts forever. However, the friction of creating these videos has kept them reserved for only the biggest milestones (50th anniversaries, Weddings).
FlowVideo AI removes the friction.
1. **No Login for Guests**: Grandma doesn't need a FlowVideo account. She just clicks the link.
2. **No Editing for Host**: The AI arranges the clips.
3. **No Cost**: It is free for montages under 20 minutes.
We are democratizing the high-effort emotional gift.
Why Use a Collaborative Video Maker?
The "Contribution Link" (Ingest)
The Technology: The "Smart Stitch" Engine
Sentiment Ordering
The order matters. You want the funny ones in the middle and the emotional ones at the end. The AI transcribes the messages. Funny: "Remember that time we got arrested..." (Placed in Act 2). Emotional: "I'm so proud of the woman you've become..." (Placed in Act 3). Result: A narrative arc, generated automatically.
Music Ducking
Background music makes it cinematic. But it drowns out voices. The AI uses "Auto-Ducking." Silence: Music volume 100%. Speech Detected: Music volume drops to 20% instantly. This mimics the workflow of a professional editor mixing a documentary.
Step-by-Step Guide: Hosting a Birthday Surprise
Step 1: Create the Event (The Bucket)
Action: Go to "New Group Video." Details: "Dad's 60th." Deadline: Set a date (e.g., Aug 15th). The link will expire then.
Step 2: Share the Link
Copy: `flowvideo.ai/upload/dads-60th` represents your unique portal. Send: Text it to the family group chat. "Hey everyone, click this link and record a 30s message for Dad. Deadline is Friday!"
Step 3: Monitor Contributions
Dashboard: You (the Host) see the clips rolling in. Action: You see "Aunt Linda" uploaded. You see "Brother" hasn't uploaded yet. Reminder: Click "Send Reminder" to nudge the slackers.
Step 4: The Stitch
Action: Click "Generate Movie." Style: Select "Classic Paper" (Scrapbook look) or "Modern Neon" (Party look). Music: Choose "Acoustic Folk" (Sentimental).
Step 5: The Premiere
Export: Download the 1080p file. Play: Put it on the TV at the party. Watch Dad cry.

Troubleshooting: Group Video Issues
Clip Rotated
Click the **"Rotate"** button in the dashboard to fix any upside-down clips before stitching.
Too Long
Use the **"Trim"** slider. Just keep the "Happy Birthday" part and cut the rambling story about the weather.
Low Light
Apply the **"Auto-Enhance"** filter to the whole project. It brightens frames and reduces noise for everyone.
Late Submission
No problem. Add the new clip and click **"Re-Render."** It takes minutes. You can update the video even after the party.
