Create a Cinematic Family Slideshow with PhotoStage

Turn Family Memories into a Video with PhotoStage

 

As summer comes to an end, it’s the perfect time to look back, reconnect, and share your favorite moments. Instead of letting those memories stay on your phone, create a video that captures the highlights of your summer. Think of all those clips and photos from beach days, road trips, family gatherings, and spontaneous adventures. Your phone and camera are full of memories waiting to be brought together and shared. 

With PhotoStage Slide Show Maker, you can easily turn them into a beautiful family video that everyone will want to watch again and again.

Here is how to bring it all together:

 

1. Gather Your Favorite Photos and Videos

Start by collecting all the memorable clips, images and music from your phone, camera or computer. PhotoStage makes it easy to import everything with drag and drop and organize it in one project. 

Sort your media by photo, audio or video files, as well as by name or date, in ascending or descending order, making it easier to find exactly what you need.

 

2. Add Music, Creative Effects, Transitions and Narration

Highlight the best scenes, add text, music or a narration and create a smooth flow with transitions that tell your story just the way you remember it. 

Try organizing your video around the highlights of your summer:

• Family vacations and road trips
• Beach and pool days
• Birthdays and family celebrations
• Outdoor adventures
• Funny moments and candid clips
• Favorite places you visited

Add smooth transitions between slides to create a natural flow from one memory to the next.  

Make your video shine with filters and effects. Give it a warm summer glow or add fun touches like balloons.  

In the effect tabs Effects, Animations and Text you can find many different effects to apply to your slides. To apply an effect, select a slide in the slideshow and click one of the effects tabs. Select the effect you want to use and adjust it.

 

3. Make Your Video Personal

Don't worry about making your video perfect. Include the little moments that make your family laugh, add captions with dates or locations, and record a short narration to tell the story behind your favorite photos. These personal touches can turn a collection of photos and clips into a memory your family will treasure.

To record a narration, select a slide on the slideshow and press the Narrate button on the toolbar.

Music brings every memory to life! Choose your favorite tune or use the easy audio tools to give your video a personal touch. 

PhotoStage Slide Show Maker includes a free sound library, which offers music and sounds to use in your slideshow. Browse and preview sounds from the NCH Sound Library, then add them directly to your project. 

To add a little extra to your images, customize the background with the "Themes" feature. You can add your own images to be used as background. The "Templates" feature allows you to create customized intros and outros easily to get a real movie feeling. 

 

 

4. Export and Share Your Family Video in HD 

When your video is ready, export it in HD and share it with family and friends. Click on the Export button and chose between options like Portable Video, DVD, YouTube, Dropbox, GoogleDrive and many more.

Post it online, send it by email, or enjoy it together on the big screen. Turn your favorite summer moments into a lasting memory and keep the spirit of summer alive a little longer.
