    FAQs

    What's the ideal length for a funeral slideshow?+

    A typical funeral slideshow ranges from 5 to 10 minutes, allowing enough time to share cherished memories without being too long for viewing during a reception or wake.

    Can I incorporate old, physical photos into a digital slideshow?+

    Yes, simply scan old photos at a high resolution or take clear, well-lit digital photos of them. You can then upload these digital files to naturally blend with newer digital media.

    How can I share the finished funeral slideshow with family and friends?+

    Once your slideshow is complete and exported, you can easily share it via a private link, upload it to a cloud service like Google Drive, or burn it to a DVD for those who prefer physical copies. It's also simple to display on a loop at a memorial service or a gathering at a venue like The Magnolia Ballroom in Atlanta.

    Can I add video clips or voice recordings to the slideshow?+

    Absolutely. Our platform supports both video clips and voice narrations, allowing you to include heartfelt messages, short home videos, or recordings of the loved one's voice, adding a deeply personal touch to the tribute.

    What kind of music is appropriate for a funeral slideshow?+

    Choose music that held special meaning for the departed or reflects the desired tone—whether it's comforting hymns like 'Hallelujah', reflective instrumentals, or a favorite song that brings back positive memories. Our music ducking feature ensures any added narration remains clear.

    Do I need to download or install anything?+

    No. The entire easy funeral slideshow ideas runs in your browser — Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge on desktop and mobile. Nothing to install, nothing to update, nothing to uninstall later.

    How long does it take to put one together?+

    Under ten minutes for a polished result. Drop in your photos, choose a song, and the AI assembles a first draft you can tweak in the timeline. Most people finish in a single sitting.

    Will my finished video have a watermark?+

    Free exports include a Cinematic watermark. Cinematic Pro removes the watermark and supports 1080p and 4K exports up to 60 fps.

    Can I add voice narration or a personal message?+

    Yes. Record yourself directly in the browser, upload an existing voice memo, or generate studio-quality narration with built-in AI voices. Music ducks automatically so the narration stays crisp.

    What resolution can I export at?+

    Free accounts export in 720p at 30 fps, with up to 3 watermarked exports per month and no slideshow length cap. Cinematic Pro adds 1080p and 4K up to 60 fps, unlimited exports, and removes the watermark.
