Funeral slideshow guide
Funeral Slideshow Checklist: From Photos to Service-Ready Video
A funeral slideshow has several moving parts and usually a firm deadline. A practical checklist helps keep service requirements, photo collection, story preparation, review and final playback under control.
- Confirm the provider deadline and playback requirements.
- Collect and organise the photographs.
- Review the opening, order, music and runtime.
- Export, test and keep an offline service file.
1. Confirm service requirements
Ask when the final slideshow is required, which video format is preferred and how the file should be supplied.
2. Collect and review the photographs
Use one contribution method, remove repetition and check that important life stages and relationships are represented.
3. Build and refine the story
Use a chronological starting sequence where appropriate, review Story Assist™ suggestions and refine the opening, order, music and timing.
4. Prepare the service file
Export the approved version, watch it from beginning to end with sound and keep a current offline backup.
