RIFTWhen you cannot be in the same room, a photo of a restaurant table with two empty chairs is not enough. A short video of the two of you at that table is a gift your partner can watch again.
What you need
- An iPhone with Rift.
- One clear photo of each person, face to camera, similar light if you can.
- A place you both love or want to visit.
- A mood: cosy, adventurous or funny.
Step by step
- Tell Spark the date. Say the place, the time and what you are doing.
- Add both photos. Pick yourself and your partner from the camera roll.
- Check the Draft. Spark shows how you meet in the scene. Reply to adjust.
- Make. Tap Make. You can leave the app, and Spark tells you when it is ready.
- Send it. Find the video in your Library and message it to your partner.
Lines to try with Spark
- “Me and my partner at a candlelit table by a window in Paris, rain outside, laughing.”
- “The two of us walking hand in hand on a quiet beach at sunset.”
- “My boyfriend and me on a rooftop with string lights, dancing slowly.”
- “Me and my wife sharing a huge ice cream in a tiny cafe, snow outside.”
- “The two of us in matching pyjamas on the sofa, watching a movie, a blanket over us.”
Tips for a couple video that feels like you
- Pick one place. A single setting feels more intimate.
- Match the photos. Similar light and angles help the two faces sit together.
- Choose the mood word. Cosy, playful or romantic changes the whole scene.
- Use a real in-joke. A shared pizza or a silly hat is more personal than roses.
- Keep it short. One moment is enough for 15 seconds.
Other couple videos
For couples who are together, the same steps work for an anniversary or a proposal-style surprise. For more on bringing separate photos into one scene, see how to make a family scene video from photos.
