How Does the DIY Tribute Work?

Updated 2 weeks, 6 days ago

Creating a Tribute is easy — and you can get started for free.

You can build your Tribute, explore the tools, and see how everything works before committing. When you’re ready to invite people to record and upload videos, you’ll choose a DIY plan based on the total length of videos you collect.

👉 Start here: https://www.tribute.co/start/

1. Invite Your People

Bring friends and family together in just a few clicks.

We’ll help you create a personalized Tribute page with simple instructions for your invitees. From there, you can easily send email invitations to friends and family — no complicated setup required.

To make things even easier, we include automatic reminders, so you don’t have to chase people down yourself. Most Tributes are fully set up in just a few minutes.

2. Collect Videos

Sit back while the messages roll in.

Your invitees receive an email that links them directly to your public Tribute page, where they’ll find guidance on what to say and an easy way to record or upload their video.

Large files? No problem.
Need to nudge a few procrastinators? We’ve got a one-click reminder for that too 😉

3. Edit and Compile Your Tribute

No editing experience needed.

All submitted videos flow straight into your dashboard. From there, you can:

  • Drag and reorder videos
  • Add text slides, transitions, and background music
  • Preview everything before finalizing

Our editor automatically balances audio levels and formats videos so everything looks and sounds great — no technical tweaking required.

DIY Pricing (When You’re Ready to Publish)

You can create a Tribute for free, but to publish it and allow participants to record and upload videos, you’ll choose a DIY plan based on the total length of footage collected:

  • 0–30 minutes$35
  • 31–60 minutes$49
  • 61+ minutes$99

Simple, transparent pricing — you only pay based on how much video you actually receive.

Final Delivery

Once you’re finished, you’ll receive a high-quality MP4 of your completed Tribute — ready to download, share, or play at a celebration.
