On Computers

For a different kind of holiday greeting, we went with the video postcard. These are offered free at Movavi.com.

To make our video, we plugged a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX into our computer, clicked the record button, talked a bit, clicked stop and the video was instantly saved in our “My Videos” folder. The QuickCam sells for $40 at Amazon.com.

Then we downloaded the Movavi video message software. We chose a holiday-themed template from among 13 choices. When we clicked “add video,” our video appeared inside a colorful postcard, ready for e-mailing.
