Make a Funeral Slideshow to Keep the Memories of Your Loved Ones Alive

You can choose between two ways to work with Movavi Video Editor. Select Slideshow Wizard and the program will guide you through making a memorial slideshow in a few easy steps. Pick Creating a movie in manual mode to take control of the creative process and make a personalized slideshow for a funeral using the adjustable settings and options. Both modes have on-screen tips to help you bring your ideas to life.

Open the Transitions tab, review appropriate styles, and drag and drop your selections onto the working area between the slides. You can also click on the little icon in the screen image to automatically add transitions between all the frames at once.

Now it’s time to set your soundtrack. Return to the Import tab, open File import, click Add Files, choose the desired music file, or select from the examples. Your music will be transferred to the Audio Track on the timeline automatically.
