  • This is the easiest way I have found to create animated slideshows of your photos. Perfect for funerals or weddings etc.
    I've had some of you ask if you could "tip" me for the help. That's very kind of you but not necessary. You can use www.buymeacoffee.com/rylandru...

    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!!

    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

    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!!!

This is amazingly simple, and I can drop the results into an After Effects template for added effect. Thanks so much!

    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.

    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?

    • @RylandRussell
      @RylandRussell  Před 6 měsíci

      The file this makes is simply a video file. Any church you are at should have a way to project videos on to a screen. Many churches use pro presenter, easyworship, proclaim or a similar software. This file will work with any of those.
