Candy. Roses. Jewelry. Stuffed Hello Kitties. There’s no shortage of ways to say “Happy Valentine’s Day.”  But when it comes down to it, nothing beats the simple act of telling someone how much you love them.

Our newly unveiled Videocards are perfect for doing just that. It’s quick and easy and super personalized. Oh and don’t worry, even if you waited until last minute, no one has to know.

Here’s how to create your own card:

1.)  Head over to the Pixorial page and log in. (If you’re not a Pixorial user yet, sign up for free access. It’s quick and easy to share video online. Promise!)

2.)  Choose the video you want to send as a Videocard. You can pick one from your library, upload something from your hard drive, or spontaneously record a new message from your webcam.

3.)  (Optional) Hit the “Trim/Add Music” button on the right side of the screen. To trim the track, slide the trimmer icons to your desired start/end point. Then click on “Add a Music Track” to select a free song from a library of more than 500 titles, using the “audio mix” slider to balance sound between the video and the song. Hit “OK” once you’re happy with your trimming and music selection.

4.)  With the video still highlighted, hit the Videocard button under the “Share” menu.

5.) Select a background from our pre-made card designs, and add your own text to the card.

6.)  Choose the recipient (or add a new contact), and hit send.

It’s that simple. Five minutes, and you’ve got a unique, personalized greeting that you can send to anyone with an email account.

A note to the dudes:

OK, these Videocards won’t take the place of a nice diamond necklace. But they will give you the power to send a personal, heartfelt message to your significant other.  This is an especially good option if you can’t be with your loved one on V-Day.
