How to make a photo slideshowFive steps in Studio

The slideshow above took these five steps: eight photos, two songs, one project.

  1. 1

    Add your photos

    Open Studio and drop in your photos and any video clips. Phone photos work as they are.

  2. 2

    Put them in order

    Drag each photo along the timeline. Drag its edge to set how long it stays. A new photo starts at 2 seconds.

  3. 3

    Pick a transition and a movement

    Fade, slide, zoom or swirl from one photo to the next. Give each photo a slow zoom or a pan so it never sits still.

  4. 4

    Add a song and a title

    Upload a song, or make one in the Audio panel. Type a title in any font. Fade the music out at the end.

  5. 5

    Export the video

    Download an MP4 or WebM at 720p, 1080p or 4K, at 24, 30 or 60 frames per second.

No song yet?Make one that fits the photos

The Audio panel in Studio makes instrumentals, or songs with vocals, from a description, 15 seconds to 3 minutes long. Both songs under the slideshow came from these prompts in Eleven Music v2.5.

  • Bright folk

    15 s, 128 BPM, instrumental

    “Bright indie folk instrumental at exactly 128 BPM in 4/4, steady kick on every beat, strummed acoustic guitar, handclaps on beats two and four, glockenspiel melody, warm and sunny, a clear downbeat on every bar, starts immediately on the first beat with no intro, ends on a clean final chord.”

    0:00 / 0:15

  • Slow piano

    30 s, 64 BPM, instrumental

    “Gentle solo piano with soft strings at exactly 64 BPM in 4/4, a clear chord change on the first beat of every bar, warm and nostalgic, like looking back at summer photos, starts on the first beat with no silence, ends on a held final chord.”

    0:00 / 0:30

Some photos want more than a zoomTurn one into a short clip

Seedance 2.5 turns a still into a 5-second clip with sound. Drop it on the timeline between two photos and the slideshow comes alive for a moment.

The campfire photo as it was taken.
The photo
The campfire flares up and a burst of sparks spirals into the dusk sky while the four friends laugh, one raises her mug and the man in glasses keeps strumming.
5 seconds of video from it

“A gust off the sea makes the campfire flare up high, and a burst of sparks spirals up past the four friends into the blue dusk sky. They lean back laughing, the woman in the yellow jacket raises her mug, and the man in glasses keeps strumming his guitar. Handheld phone camera, a slow push in toward the fire. Sound: <the fire whooshes and crackles>, (a strummed acoustic guitar), <the friends laugh>, <waves behind them>. No one speaks, no narration.”

A video slideshow

Your photos and a song played as one video. For a party screen, YouTube, Reels or a message to family. You build it in Studio from your own photos, like the one at the top of this page.

Open Studio
Carousel cover slide reading Two days on the coast. What we'd pack again.Carousel slide reading 01 A wool blanket each. Nights on the beach get cold fast.Carousel slide reading 02 A tiny camping stove. Coffee on the dunes at 6 am.

A swipe slideshow

Slides with text that people swipe through on TikTok or Instagram. Carousels writes and designs a set from a topic, and posts it to TikTok as a photo post, or to Instagram or LinkedIn. The slides are made for you, not taken from your camera roll.

See carousels

A presentation deck is the third kind: slides you click through in a meeting. Sceneform doesn't make decks, so build those in a presentation app.
