A simple way I turn family photos into short videos (helps when I’m overwhelmed)

Hi everyone — caregiving can be a lot, and sometimes I don’t have the energy to “do something big,” but I still want to capture memories or send a quick update to family.

Recently I’ve been using VidMix.ai to turn a few photos into a short clip with a simple prompt. It’s been surprisingly helpful for making little “check-in” videos, tribute/memory reels, or a calm recap after a hard week.

If you’re curious, here are the two features I use most:

https://vidmix.ai/image-to-video
(animate photos into a short video)

https://vidmix.ai/text-to-video
(generate a clip from a prompt)

Full disclosure: I’m affiliated with VidMix.ai — sharing it here because it genuinely saved me time when I was stretched thin. If anyone tries it, I’d love to hear what kind of videos have been meaningful for you (memory reels, updates, encouragement clips, etc.).
