The Three C’s: How to Tell Your Dad He’s Awesome June 15th, 2012 / Comments: 0 Don’t look now, but Father’s Day is this weekend. If you’d like to do something fun and unexpected for your dad, here are three quick and easy ideas: Contest: Head over to our Superdad sweepstakes and share a story about your father. That’s all it takes to enter. If you win, you’ll receive a Viewsonic tablet for your dad – along with free Pixorial for both you and pops. Card: Our Videocards are tailor-made for occasions like this. Use your webcam to record a Father’s Day greeting, then use one of our custom templates to create a unique message. It’ll be waiting for him in his inbox within seconds. To make a Videocard, highlight a video in your Pixorial library, then hit “Send Videocard” on the right side of the screen. Conversion: Conversion is the process of taking old media like VHS, 8mm, or film reels, and putting them in digital format. The great thing about this process is that all those memories that were trapped in those old formats will be sharable just about anywhere. Here’s a great example of conversion, courtesy of Pixorial’s very own Terry, a software expert and video freak: <a href="http://www.pixorial.com/watch/0adc33ef2ae050ce21d06e0a53c123f0" >FathersDay2012c2.mov</a> Terry digitized that old media using our conversion process, then added customized text with our easy-to-use editing tools. Digitizing old film is the best way to liberate those memories and ensure they don’t fall victim to the ravages of aging. So collect all those old movies, send ‘em in, and let dad know he’s got a nice surprise on the way. So there you have it – three simple ways that video – and the power of memories – can help you surprise and delight your dad this Father’s Day.
