How to create a slideshow from a gallery

A slideshow is a video automatically generated from your gallery photos, with music, transitions and effects. You can share it with your clients, export it as a video file, or make it accessible directly in your gallery.

🎬 Create a new slideshow

To create a slideshow, open your gallery and click on the Slideshow tab. Then click on the + New slideshow card to launch the configuration wizard.

Setting up a new slideshow

1. Event type

Choose the event type that matches your photo session. Each preset automatically preconfigures the template, rhythm and colors adapted:

Wedding: romantic and elegant with smooth transitions and timeless ambiance.
Portrait & Fashion: graphic compositions with impactful typography.
Travel & Adventure: energy and movement, ideal for reportages.
Party & Birthday: dynamic and festive with multi-frames and upbeat rhythm.
Corporate & Event: sober and professional with strong branding and clean transitions.
Custom: configure each parameter manually according to your vision.

Selecting a preset (other than "Custom") automatically pre-fills the template, rhythm, duration and colors. You can modify everything after creation.

2. Music

Choose the background music for your slideshow. Two options are available:

Music library: access hundreds of royalty-free tracks (Bensound), filterable by genre, mood, energy, instruments, etc.
Import a file: upload your own audio file directly.

Music is optional. Without music, slide durations will be uniform.

Listening to the track preview in the library doesn't automatically select it. For it to be used in the slideshow, the title must appear as selected in orange.

3. Photo selection

Browse your folders and select the photos to include in the slideshow. Photos are displayed in the library, with the ability to filter by folder or favorites.

Without selection, some empty slides will be automatically created to pre-fill the interface. You can assign the photos afterwards.

A very long slideshow can affect readability, prefer a targeted selection.

4. Gallery display

Define how the slideshow will be presented to your clients:

Visibility:

Visible: accessible to all gallery visitors.
Buyers only: visible only after purchasing a product.
Hidden: not displayed in the gallery (editing only).

Entry mode:

Play button: a discreet button allows the visitor to start the slideshow.
Skippable intro: the slideshow launches automatically but can be skipped.
Mandatory intro: the slideshow must be watched before accessing the gallery.

Gallery position:

Featured: displayed at the top of the gallery, before the photos.
In grid: integrated as a section in the photo grid.

- Visual ambiance & rhythm (if you haven't chosen a pre-configured template)

Choose the visual template that defines the staging of your photos:

Clean: smooth transitions and sober typography, elegant and timeless.
Cinematic: Ken Burns effect with wide shots and film ambiance, ideal for storytelling.
Dynamic: sharp cuts and energetic transitions for energy and movement.
Editorial: bold graphic compositions with impactful typography.

And define the transition rhythm:

Rhythm:

Contemplative: smooth transitions and long pauses, 4-6 s per photo.
Fluid: natural rhythm with balanced transitions, 2-4 s per photo.
Energetic: sharp cuts synchronized to the musical rhythm, 1-2 s per photo.

- Colors & visual style (if you haven't chosen a pre-configured template)

Configure the colors and typography of your slideshow: background color, text color, font. You can also automatically use your gallery theme for visual consistency.

Creation and editor

Click on Create slideshow to start generation.

The slideshow is created and you're redirected to the editor where you can:

Reorder slides in the timeline
Edit each slide individually (photo, duration, colors, text, layout)
Adjust music synchronization (beat matching)
Crop the music portion used
Preview in desktop (16:9) or mobile (9:16) render

🎥 Export the video

Once your slideshow is ready, click on Export video to start rendering. You can choose one or more formats:

16:9: landscape (YouTube, desktop)
9:16: portrait (Stories, mobile)

Export only the necessary format to reduce processing time.

Once the export is complete, the videos are available in the gallery's Slideshow tab. Your clients can watch or download them according to the visibility settings you've defined.

⚙️ Slideshow settings

From the ⚙️ button in the editor, you can modify at any time:

The slideshow name
The thumbnail (capture from a slide or upload)
Display options (visibility, entry mode, position)
The watermark on the exported video
Set this slideshow as the gallery's main one (only one main slideshow per gallery, featured on the client side)
