Help!?
What can we use if we don't have the 'basic editing app' or a separate music clip?
Use your phone's built-in Photos/Gallery editor or free apps like CapCut or Canva to import the saved character, add a colorful background, stickers, text and effects, and either use royalty-free clips or record a short music clip on your device.
The posed character image won't export from the Gacha app—what should we try?
If 'Save or export the posed character image' fails, take a screenshot of the posed character, crop it in your editing app, and check that the Gacha app has storage permissions and is updated before importing.
How can this activity be adapted for younger children or older kids?
For younger kids have an adult 'create or pick a character', choose the background, and let the child place stickers and simple text, while older kids can fine-tune poses, change fonts/colors, apply effects, add a music clip, and export as a video or GIF.
How can we extend or personalize the finished Gacha edit?
Turn it into a mini movie by creating multiple posed characters and backgrounds, applying different visual effects to each frame, adding a voice-over or longer music track, then export as a video and share on DIY.org with custom title text.

Facts about digital video and image editing for kids
✂️ Most basic editors use layers: the top layer shows in front, so stickers, text, and effects can be stacked for cool looks.
🎨 A "Gacha edit" is a fan-made collage-style art form that combines posed characters, stickers, filters, and text for storytelling.
📱 Export as PNG to keep images sharp and transparent; export as MP4 to add music and share your edit as a video.
🎮 Gacha Life and Gacha Club let players mix-and-match hundreds of outfits, hairstyles, and poses to build totally unique characters.
