Facebook launches 'Say Thanks' tool for personalised video creation

Facebook has launched a personalised video creation tool in a bid to push more users to share videos on the social networking website.

The "Say Thanks", tool lets users put together personalised video cards combining preset themes and their own posts and photos.

This allows Facebook users to make shareable, customised videos to post on theirs and their friend's timelines.

To create the video, users just need to visit facebook.com/thanks and select a friend for Facebook to generate a preview of the video.

"You will have the ability to select a different theme and edit photos and posts that represent your friendship," the social network explained in a blog post.

After users finish making their video, they have an option of adding a personalised message before posting it to their own timeline, and tagging their friend.

The service is available on desktop and mobile in English, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish.
