# Tips for Creating and Sharing Slideshows

## Creating slideshows with Pass is a powerful way to preserve memories for your clients and share your work with your community. Here are our best tips for making impactful slideshows.

### **Choosing the Right Format**

Pass offers four format options, each suited for different uses:

- **3:2 Landscape** – Great for most photography.
- **16:9 Landscape** – Provides a cinematic look.
- **4:3 Landscape** – Ideal for film-style images with a classic feel.
- **9:16 Portrait** – Perfect for mobile and social media.

**Pro Tip:** Create a **desktop (landscape) version** first, then duplicate and convert it to **9:16 Portrait** for mobile sharing.

### **Selecting Your Images**

Choose a highlight collection that tells a story. Avoid repetition unless it enhances an emotional moment—such as showing a sequence of images for a first look.

Your selections will impact other design elements, like **slideshow speed and music choice**, so be intentional with your curation.

**Pro Tip:** Use the **photo filter** to quickly add your favorite, rated, or color-labeled images from your editing software.

#### **Recommended Image Counts:**

- **Wedding (600+ images)** → Slideshow with **50-100 images**
- **Family/Lifestyle (150 images)** → Slideshow with **35-50 images**
- **Portrait Session (50 images)** → Slideshow with **15-25 images**

💡 If using slideshows with the **Simple Sales System App**, include **all** session images so clients can choose their purchase package.

### **Designing Your Slideshow**

Pass provides **preset layouts, color palettes, and font collections** to quickly create a beautiful slideshow.

Your title and end slides make the first and last impression. Consider the audience:

- **For clients sharing with friends/family**, a title like **“Our Wedding”** personalizes the slideshow.
- **For marketing purposes**, include your **website or social media handle** on the end slide to attract prospective clients.

**Pro Tip:** Duplicate the title slide to extend its duration or create an alternate layout to showcase the title image again.

### **Download and Sales Settings**

Decide whether to offer slideshows for **free or as a paid product**:

- Sell **social media versions** at an affordable rate.
- Offer a **free** slideshow to encourage organic client sharing.
- Sell a **full-length slideshow** in the shop.
- Create different slideshows for **Main Clients** vs. **gallery guests**.

### **Slideshow Length & Music**

- **Desktop slideshows:** Ideal length is **3-5 minutes**.
- **Social media slideshows:** Keep it **under 1 minute** for Instagram Reels, Stories, or TikTok.

Pass allows multiple songs per slideshow, with **fade transitions** between tracks.

💡 **Music Tip:** Pass’s **licensed music library** can be used on social media, but uploading in-app music (Instagram/TikTok) may improve visibility in their algorithms.

### **Duplicating for Mobile & Social Media**

Once your slideshow is complete:

1. **Duplicate it from the Photos tab** and change the format to **9:16 Portrait** for mobile.

2. **Adjust the layout orientation** automatically.

3. **Refine the edit**, keeping it under a minute for social media.
4. **Customize the title slide** to match the audience: 
     - **Desktop version:** “John and Sara”
     - **Social media version:** “Our lovely Wedding”

Creating and sharing slideshows with Pass is an effective way to showcase your work while giving clients a beautiful way to relive their memories.
