How to make photo slideshows from your footage

Introduce the subject, progress through the photographs and end on a deliberate closing image.

Start with the moments that tell the story

Bring an ordered photo selection with titles or short captions. Pick the takes that make the subject clear, including a strong opening and a complete ending. These choices give Shorty a useful starting point for the edit.

Give Shorty the creative direction

Introduce the subject, progress through the photographs and end on a deliberate closing image.

Try a 30-second 9:16 edit as a starting point. Include the exact title or closing message you want on screen. Add a reference when you want to show the pace, captions or mood.

Create a 30-second 9:16 video from my an ordered photo selection with titles or short captions. Introduce the subject, progress through the photographs and end on a deliberate closing image. Use my supplied wording for titles. Check the order and allow enough time to read each caption.

Make the next version more specific

Check the order and allow enough time to read each caption.

Play the first cut and pick the change that would help the story most. Name the moment, describe the result you want and tell Shorty what to keep. A note such as “hold the final product shot longer” gives the revision a clear direction.

Questions, answered.

What footage should I use?
