Looking to try something different with your holiday greetings this year?  Unsure sure what to write?  Well, why not try sending a personalized video podcast instead?  Not only are they fairly easy to make, but you may even be able to save some money if you’d normally find yourself buying cards for a large number of family members and friends.

As briefly explained in this video there are really only a few things you’ll need: a computer, a camcorder (or webcam!), some basic video editing software, and an internet connection to upload your creation to a website like Facebook, Flickr, or Vimeo.  You don’t even need to have higher-end equipment to get the job done - flash memory camcorders are available for as little as $39.99 and many computers come with some kind of pre-installed video editing software.

Concerned that the general public will see videos intended for your Uncle Bill or Aunt Helen?  Don’t worry!  Many video-sharing websites feature privacy options, allowing users to pick and choose who has access to which files.

For more information – and additional suggestions – make sure to speak with either a computer or digital imaging specialist at your local Best Buy store.  Otherwise, come join the discussion on our Cameras & Camcorders board:
