What is the Facebook Timeline Movie Maker?
Most of you by now know what the fuss is all about
regarding Facebook Timeline view. The Timeline view is a different,
more organized representation of your life and time spent on Facebook.
But not everybody appreciates it though, especially since Facebook has
been just short of enforcing it. Like it or not, Facebook pages have already been converted
to the Timeline view by default, thank you very much. And with a
growing number of Timeline users, it will only be a matter of time
before Facebook profiles are enforced too. So whether you like it or
not, you might need to get used to t, if you aren’t already.
Facebook has introduced many new systems
that are intelligent and provide efficiency to the user. An example is
the auto tagging feature, where Facebook will tag pictures with your
friends automatically. Well now, the Timeline Movie Maker is another.
Simply put, it is a video feature based on your Facebook timeline.
With that being said, let’s talk a little
more about the Timeline view itself. It is a chronological
representation of your entire life as known by Facebook. Of course, it
might be a little unnerving that all your posts, pictures, videos, and
life events etc are more easily accessible to your friends and other
people. But hey! Facebook is all about sharing. And you can always set
custom privacy. So with sharing in mind, Facebook introduced the
Timeline Movie maker for Facebook users.
What is the Facebook Timeline Movie Maker?
Facebook Timeline movie is basically a
story of your life on Facebook as it is on your Timeline. It is
developed using pictures, videos, and other posts on your Timeline.
Facebook Timeline Movie Maker is an app that creates one such movie for
you.
Facebook developed this project in
collaboration with Definition6. And I must say, it is a very innovative
idea. This app creates an interesting 1 minute movie for your Timeline,
and adds special effects to the movie such as background music,
transitions etc.
How to create Timeline Movie?
This is a really simple process. It’s
much like installing the Timeline view itself, though with some things
changed. Now for a decent Timeline movie, you need to have a decent
collection of images, status updates / posts, and other life events’
information. Once you have the necessary things, you are set to go. Just
follow the steps below.
- Go to the Timeline Movie Maker app
- Log in to Facebook beforehand, or log in through the app
- Click on the button that says “Make Your Movie”. This is where the app might ask you to log in. You will need to grant access permissions to this app for accessing your data.
- Sit back and wait for the movie to be processed.
Once the movie is done rendering, you can
preview it. If you like it, then you can directly share / post to your
Timeline. Else, you can start over. You will have the option of
selecting the images that you want to be featured. Remove unwanted
images from the thumbnails given below the movie panel. Additionally,
you can choose from among five music scores to go with your video.
There you have it. You now have an
awesome movie to share with your friends. You can also use it to
preserve your best memories. And if you have a separate Facebook profile
for your blog or business, you can give it a professional look, which
you can then use to promote your business!
If you get around to make a movie, tell s
about your experience. Also, don’t forget to share this post on
Facebook, so that others can learn about how they can create a movie for
themselves.
