Create interactive video and photo timelines

Posted on October 31, 2008 at 5:45 am

Have you ever traveled to a destination and wanted to share its beauty with everyone? You could take tons of photos and then plaster them all over the Internet. However, doing this won’t make it stand out among the other billion photos already posted onto the web.

In order to share your enthusiasm about the special destinations you’ve visited throughout your life, you’ll need to make these places stand out. Adding a bit of pizzazz will almost guarantee that others will notice your photos and videos.

Capzles is a web based service that turns your favorite photos and videos into an interactive timeline. Instead of just flipping through these files the regular way, you can quickly move through the collection and click the ones you want for more details. Add photos and videos into the same timeline and have them create a special presentation of your favorite people, hobbies, and destinations.

Earlier I wrote about TimeRime, a service where you can create timelines for free online. The timelines are flash-based and overall nice since you can add pictures and interact by clicking, but Capzles lets you create time lines that really stand out and look cool.

There’s no cost to start creating your very own Capzles. The makers of the service describe it as “social story-telling.” It only takes a few short minutes to register and create your account. After you’ve finished the registration steps, log into your Capzles account to start browsing around.

If you’d rather take a look at the masterpieces of other users, click the “Explore” button located at the top of the page. This section is broken down into several available categories for you to choose from.

A few interesting Capzles that you may want to view are David Bowie, Senegal 2007, or a History of 007. Within a few minutes, you’ll notice that there are a large amount of Capzles worth viewing. Not only can you share your own personal memories, but you can also view the memories of others. After you’ve had your fill of browsing through the existing collection of Capzles, start the process of making your own.

To get started, just select the “Create” button at the top of the page. You’ll be instantly guided through the process of adding your own personal content. Give your Capzles a special touch by creating distinctive designs, your favorite background music, and an interesting title.

If you only want a selective group of people to visit your newly created Capzles, set up special settings to keep it private. It can be automatically set to allow only you, friends, or anyone to view new Capzles.

The next time you want to share vacation photos, special events, or favorite hobbies, consider creating a few Capzles instead. Your friends and family members will be totally impressed with your creativity and style. The user-friendly interface is very straightforward and easy to work with. When you get a chance, visit the Capzles homepage to let your creative side show.
