# Tribute

> Tribute is the #1 group video gift maker. It makes it easy to collect heartfelt video messages and photos from friends and family anywhere in the world and compile them into a beautiful keepsake montage — the gift that makes everyone cry happy tears. Over 8 million videos have been sent on Tribute, rated 4.9 from 7,700+ reviews.

## What Tribute does

- Collects video messages and photos from invited contributors (no app required for guests).
- Compiles every clip into a polished montage that the creator can preview, reorder, trim, and share.
- Works for any occasion: birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, retirements, memorials, graduations, teacher gifts, promotions, get well, and new baby.
- Offers an optional Concierge editing service where the Tribute team reviews, edits, and polishes the clips for the creator.
- Turns the finished video into lasting physical keepsakes such as the linen-bound Video Book (7" LCD display, built-in speakers, 4GB / 3+ hours of HD video, reloadable), DVDs, and USB drives.

## How it works

1. Design your Tribute — pick an occasion, personalize with photos, themes, and a soundtrack (upload your own song or choose from the library).
2. Invite friends and family — share your Tribute link to collect heartfelt video messages and photos from anywhere. Successful Tributes invite ~30 people on average.
3. Compile and share — the video gift maker stitches every clip into a montage. Preview, reorder, and share it yourself, or let the Concierge editors finish it for you.

## Features

- Custom soundtrack: upload your own song (MP3, WAV, FLAC) or choose from Tribute's curated music library to set the soundtrack for the whole Tribute. Concierge can also add background music across the full Tribute and selectively mute it on clips where the contributor's audio is quiet.
- Invitations across every channel: email (with bulk contact import and branded invites), SMS/text, WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, QR codes for events and cards, and a custom branded URL (e.g. tribute.co/for-mom).
- Automated email reminders: the reminder tool keeps contributors on track so more people actually record — the most successful Tributes invite ~30 people on average.
- Guest/response tracker: see who's been invited, who's opened, who's recorded, and who needs a nudge.
- Story Player: preview the entire Tribute instantly in the browser on any device — no app download and no render wait, so edits show up the moment they're ready.
- Advanced theme customization: animated background effects, custom colors and fonts, and light/dark modes to match the occasion (joyful birthday, heartfelt retirement, solemn memorial).
- Full mobile and desktop editing: rearrange clips, trim videos, adjust audio volume, rotate orientation, and add simple transitions.
- Party mode: host a live, synchronized group viewing where contributors and guests watch the Tribute together in real time.
- Real gifts via Snappy: pair the video gift with curated physical gifts from premium brands (not generic gift cards), with a Gift Tracker so you know when it's delivered and opened.
- Never expires: video collection is never turned off and there's never a fee to re-open a Tribute, so people can contribute on their own time.
