Adding your photos
Start a new film, name it and choose your photos. Each one uploads and gets a quick check, and you can ask the family to send theirs with a link.

Start a new film and give it a name
The "New film" page has fields for the film's name, who it's for, the moment and when it's needed. "Noy's film" goes in as the name, then "Continue to add photos".

Choose the photos you want in the film
The "Photos" step opens. "Choose photos" is tapped and six photos are chosen. Under it are two more ways to add photos: "Invite family" and "Bring from Google Photos".

Each photo comes in and gets a quick check
The six photos upload, each marked "Checking…" while Glim finds its faces, crops it to the film's shape and checks it fits. Once they're all ready they stand in Life Story order, with an arrow from each photo to the next, and an orange outline marks the first.

How this video was made
This is a screen recording of the Glim app at phone size, on a demo account with Glim's example photos. The taps were made automatically in a browser: each one shows as a soft circle, and an orange outline marks what the video points at. There's no sound: the captions do the explaining, and they're written out here, with what's on screen at each moment.
