Making a visualization video is an easy way to help you enjoy using your imagination to get closer to achieving your goals. Most people learn visually, so why not use that to your advantage? Your mind uses the same activity centers when you imagine doing an activity as it does when you actually do the activity. The only difference is the intensity of the synaptic activity.
I recommend including photographs, video clips, and possibly a few of your favorite sayings. It is beneficial to limit the text that you use, as you don’t want to “read” your visualization. “Reading” your visualization video uses a different part of the brain than you use to process images or audio.
Choose music that makes you feel good when you hear it, and plan to edit the video to that musical rhythm.
Where do I get images, videos and music for my visualization video? If you only plan on using the video for your personal use, AND you do not plan on posting it on-line, then there are many websites that offer free use of images, videos and music for your project. If you plan on posting your video on YouTube or other on-line site, you must use content that you have created and for which you own the copyright. You can also purchase the “rights” to use the content in your video project. I highly recommend going out with a friend and a camera to take photographs of you in the places and situations that meet your goals. For example, take a photo of you in the car that you would like to own.
Watch this example that I created.
Law of Attraction Visualization Video
After you collect your content, I recommend using whatever video software you own to edit it into a fast-moving video that is less than 3 minutes in duration.
Step One – Lay your music on the time-line. As you listen to the music, add markers to the beat of the music. It is helpful to space the markers at approximately every 2 seconds, or less.
Step Two – Organize your images and video clips in an order that will build your story in your mind.
Step Three – Place the images and video clips on the time-line and crop them to fit the music markers. Play the time-line and rearrange the clips to suit your story.
Step Four – Export your completed video. Create your video in a format that will allow you to view it easily and OFTEN. You can create a DVD of the video, save it to a digital frame that plays video, save it to your mobile phone or IPOD, or upload the video on-line.
Step Five – The most important step! Archive your raw content and project so you can change your video every few weeks. It’s important to add new content and rearrange the images to keep the video interesting so you will continue to view it regularly.
An important point to remember is that your goals change as your life changes, so let them. Just because you made a video doesn’t mean that your goals cannot change.

What video software do you recommend? I would love to experiement with creating videos, but the software I’ve found is rather expensive.
I use the Adobe Master Collection because I create video, graphics and websites.
What I suggest that you do is to visit these 2 websites for ideas: http://www.VideoMaker.com and http://www.CreativeCow.com Both have lots of suggestions for beginners. Also, Creative Cow has a forum that you can sign up for, which will help you if you have a specific question as you learn to edit.
I know many people edit their home movies on a Mac with iMovie.
I really have think this is a brilliant idea it should be used for children and adults alike.
Thanks you!
Thanks, some really interesting infor there.
Cheers

ok I still have a hard time understanding exactly what you would use this video for? It is just something that people enjoy watching then you hope it spreads virally?? And thus you earn adsense money from people visiting to watch? I like the idea of being able to easily change out scenes from the video.
I’m sure that you have heard of using visualization to achieve your goals. By creating your own visualization video, with images that show your own goals, you can boost your ability to focus on your goals.
Most people (estimated 60% of the population) learn visually. Why not use this to help yourself? The reason you would put it on YouTube is so you can watch it wherever you happen to be.
If you are a video producer, you can offer creating this type of video to your customers.
I love this tutorial video, I like the final passage, thank you

Karla is right. I consider myself a visual learner since I rely much on books with visual aids and video tutorials to learn things than to read those black and white books and manuals which tend to make you sleep. Video clips or visualization videos draw much attention because people like colorful background and scenes.
