What you need
Steps
Open InShot and tap Video, then pick the photos of your friend from your camera roll. Choose 6 to 10 shots so the edit stays short and easy to follow.
Tap Canvas and choose 9:16 for Reels, Shorts or Stories, or 1:1 for a square post. Tap the check mark to lock the ratio.
Drag each photo clip on the timeline so it lasts about 2 to 3 seconds. Tap a clip and use the trim handles to shorten it.
Tap the small square between two clips to open the Transition menu. Pick a simple fade or zoom and apply it to the other gaps.
For the cutout look, open Sticker, choose Cutout and trace around your friend in the photo. Place the cutout over a plain or blurred background clip.
Tap Text, type Happy Birthday and pick a bold or script font. Change the colour and size, then drag the words where you want them.
Open the Animation tab on the text layer and choose a fade or typewriter effect so the words appear on the beat.
Tap Music or Audio and add a birthday song from your files. Trim the track so it ends with the last photo.
Play the whole edit once to check the timing, then tap Save and export at 1080p.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep each photo on screen for at least 2 seconds so the edit does not feel rushed.
Keep text away from the top and bottom edges, where app buttons cover it on Stories and Shorts.
Mute the original clip audio before you add music, or the two soundtracks will clash.
Export a copy before closing the app so you still have the finished video if the project is lost.
Questions
Do I need to pay for InShot to make this?
InShot is free to download and the free version covers trimming, transitions, text and music. Some extras and watermark removal need the paid upgrade.
Can I make this edit on a phone only?
Yes. InShot runs on iPhone and Android, so all the trimming, cutouts, text and music happen on your phone with no computer needed.
How long should the birthday video be?
Around 15 to 30 seconds works well for Reels, Shorts and Stories. Ten photos at 2 to 3 seconds each gets you close to that length.
