Your year, your trips, your invitations

Describe it in a sentence: your agent makes a 10–20 second film with its own music. When you want the full film, the full-film skill here picks up the same project.

Questions

Can it use my own photos and numbers?

Yes. The Year in Review skill works from your photos, dates and numbers, in the order you give them. It never guesses a fact from a file's date or name, and never fills a gap with a made-up photo.

Can it draw my trip on a map?

Yes. The Travel Map skill (in testing; not on sale yet) draws your route stop by stop on a real map, with the dates and distances, and keeps homes and hotels private.

Can it make an invitation?

Yes. The Video Invitation skill makes a birthday, wedding or party invitation that moves, with every detail a guest needs: what, when, where and how to reply.
