Thank you - I was so distraught trying to do a memorial slide for my cousin funeral because I could not focus and tears everywhere from all the pictures and memories. This was perfect and got me through it.

A thousand thank yous! I had almost 400 pictures to put in a slideshow. This is making my life so much more enjoyable.

Thanks man! Church Production Director here. This vid showed up in my feed this morning and it just saved my bacon for the funeral we had this afternoon. Much appreciated!

Thank you so much for this! I just made this for my grandmother's funeral and it's so much nicer than a regular slideshow and was very easy, with everything else going on, this being 5 mins made it perfect.

I just want to thank you for the easy tutorial. I created a slideshow for my grandmother's funeral, and it looks great! I absolutely love how it turned out. This was so helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. I've been stressing trying to figure out the best way to do this for my beloved aunt's service. I feel like I can exhale now. Just executed a sample using your instructions and it works great. I may add in a few custom slides with text. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This is honestly the most help I have received especially concerning a Mac! You are a blessing! I still can’t figure out how to send a zip file to my son because he was going to do this… But I have ended up creating my own slideshow and this was a great help even though I was almost at the end of what I was doing. I did not know about the vintage option and it looks really great. My dad passed away a couple weeks back and I am organizing the entire Memorial.Overwhelmed

I had NO idea that the Photos program could do that. Thanks for the very clear and helpful instructions! Helped me save MANY hours of time and give beautiful results to a celebration of life slideshow for a friend's father's service.

This video is awesome! I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out the best program to use for my Dad's celebration of life slideshow. There are so many options out there. Your way is by far the easiest and honestly exactly what my dad would have wanted......simple, but with a little style. Bravo, this is possibly one of the best videos I've ever learned from on You Tube- thank you!!

Had to make a last-minute funeral slideshow for a family member and I completely forgot I could do this on photos, so thank you so much for making this hard time a little easier

Thank you so much for creating this video. My family was getting overwhelmed with all the different services out there. You made it very easy for us to create a wonderful memory for our family.

I'm a senior graphic designer and I didn't even think of this. I was about to open Premiere. Thanks, needed a quick slideshow for a friends' mothers funeral.

This video came through in the clutch! Thanks so much for posting this!

I can’t believe how easy you made it! Many thanks!!!

You, my man, are a lifesaver! Thank you for creating this video. Funeral is Tuesday and the elders need help.

I was so worried about this process and you have made me feel competent. Thank you.

Thank you so much!!!!! This is so simple and helpful! I hope this video gets a million views!!!

Thank you! This helped me create a beautiful tribute video for my uncle.

Thank you so much, doing this for my father in law 80th birthday pictures.

Thank you so much Ryland! I was trying to put together a slideshow for a friend in Adobe Premiere Pro and it just wasn't looking professional and took A LOT of work. When I saw this video, I immediately called my friend who had a spare MacBook Air and asked if I could borrow it. Now, the hardest part of my project is complete and it looks better than it would have if I spent two months learning and editing in Premiere Pro. You're the best!!!

God Bless you!! This is the best tutorial online !! Thanks soo much!!

Really well explained, simply and effectively, many thanks

Ryland, this is golden! You're a fine and efficient teacher!

You’re a real one! This is life changing 😮

Thank you! You saved my brain and heart during a VERY hard week.

You saved me so much time. Thanks a lot for this.

This is my favourite thing to do, I just did this today for a Funeral I’m conducting tomorrow…

Worked great! Thank you so much.

subscribed because this video was a lifesaver . Freaking out cause we are doing a funeral in warp drive. Thank you so much.

Wow! Thank you!!! I think I can actually do this. Incredibly helpful.

Wow! I'm in the midst of creating my dad's slideshow for his funeral and this helps SO MUCH, seriously thank you

BRA! Thank you! This came in the clutch. I saved money plus time just by finding this video. Much love and appreciation

thank you sooooooo much ! been trying to figure out for months how to do this !

Thank you so much! I was having a hard time and this was instant!

Thank you so much! This was so very helpful! 🙌🏻

Thankyou. I’ve been anxious about doing this for my dad for next week. TFS 🙏🙏 great help.

Thanks so much. What a quick/easy solution!

Thank you so much for an excellent step by step. Making a slideshow for a funeral is difficult and you made it easy to understand.

Way to go man. This is going to help a ton of people.

GOLD!!! Thank you!

This is a fantastic video, thanks for this.

This worked beautifully >. Thanks for posting!!

You have no idea how many times i would have loved to use this! Thanks

Wow, I've tried so many other editors to create tribute videos, used to love Proshow Gold, but it's long gone, but this just isn't something I can do quickly in Premiere, AE, or Final Cut. This is amazingly simple, and I can drop the results into an After Effects template for added effect. Thanks so much!

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

This is AWESOME/COOL. I may never use FCPX for slideshows again. I so glad I watched this!

Thanks a lots. You make a very clear tutorial. This is very useful and helpful video. God bless you.

You've sure made my life easy!!!!

Awesome man! Appreciate it

Perfect!!! Thank you!!!

Thank you, this is very helpful!

Thanks man. Needed this

Thank you so much for this man!

Thank you so much for this!

Thank you! The video was very helpful.

Thank you, this makes it very easy

Thank you. This saved me soooooo much time and it was absolutely easy.

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Thanks for sharing ❤

Such a great video

You Ryland are a GodSend ❤😊🥰

Thank you. 🙏

Thank you so much!!!

Thank You!

Thank u I’m struggling putting one together for my brother lol it was so shit but now it’s alright

Thanks that saved me hours!

Crazy cool and easy

I'm still trying to find something that i might have just a little bit more control over... like it sometimes makes a slide with two photos, which i don't like at all. It would be so great if i could just delete those, or at least get the choice... also not an option to crop or move the picture a bit... but still, the best one i've found, and i usually work on Final cut pro x... To think that i've not been able to find something that works this well is just silly. Thanks for the video though :) I think i'll just have to work around the few flaws it has.

Thank you very much for this tutorial Ryland! I have a question. If between the pic I have a video that I want to play is it possible to let it play for the whole length instead that to be stopped after the 1-2 secs? Thanks

Thanks a lot!

Top tips buddy, thanks!!

Good lookin my boy!

Right on! So easy.

Hey, thank you so much is there a way you can shuffle all the photos automatically instead manually as I have 800 photos and all the same people are grouped together so I want to shuffle but doing it manually will take me hours, thank you

Hi, thanks for this. Is there anyway to add a bit of video at the end of it?

Nice Information ❤❤

Along with this great tutorial. What would be the best way to display this on three different screens? Would it be best to download & upload to KZfaq then have all screens play the slideshow from KZfaq ?

Thanks!

Thank you for this easy solution. What do you use to convert to MP4 should the family ask for the presentation on a DVD?

Thanks so much for the tutorial. My slideshow is quite long, is there a way I can get the theme music to loop till the end? Thanks again!

thank you

Appreciated

brilliant thank you

How do you use Vintage prints that show only one print at a time? And how do you slow it done?

This is wonderful beautiful and easy. One question if the video is long. Say I have so many pictures. Can I add more than one custom song? Or I can only do one?

Ryland, Thanks so much for the video. Can you please elaborate on what you mean by the presentation software that you are using? The church where we are having the Celebration of Life told me that PowerPoint does not work with their system. Can you suggest another presentation software that can accept this type of file from iPhoto and not cause compatibility issues?

thanks so much! i am actually using this for my parents 50+ wedding anniversary as I wanted to do this memorialization of their lives BEFORE they pass on. I started in imovie and got confused! so this seems simple and easy to do - but how do i get it to youtube or to the TV to show this in our party? thanks again!

AMAZING!! Thank you so much!!

This is exactly what I need. Question: If I email this to PC users, can they watch it on their computers?

Can I add video clips along with photos and if I can, will the music play during the videos, blocking out the sound on the video? I am a mess and absolutely devastated. I am trying to put this together. I lost my daughter and need to get this done in in two days. 💔

Using this for my funeral party 😅

How do I make a copy of my slideshow for a family member to play on Mac or PC?

Hi Ryland, This was mindblowing to find! Thank you! However, I was wondering - can the slideshow include video clips as well? I have video clips in the album, but when I went to preview the slideshow, it doesn't play the whole video clip in the slideshow. Do you know how to get it to play the whole video clip?

Awesome video. I got the main part of getting photos. I downloaded the slideshow into a USB drive and connect to a TV for funeral service but it does not appear?? Is this because it’s only compatible for Apple products? If so any way to get around this?? Thanks!

Thank you so much for this so helpful video. I am running into a situation with the music I’ve downloaded from Apple iTunes and when I’m trying to upload it onto my slideshow, it says it’s a DRM protected audio file and that I can’t use it. How do I navigate around this?

This is so helpful, I made my slideshow and it looks great, however I cannot get the music to add, my library shows but it’s in grey and nothing happens when I select it. I’m using a MacBook but can get iTunes on it for some reason, I did download a song on my phone with iTunes hoping it will transfer to Apple Music but nothing is working. Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you. The template you used was already installed in Mac?

Can I add different text to each slide? Wanting to put names to help people identify family members they may not recognize, Thanks.

Can we change the text style gor this?
