Example

In a Life Story, Glim suggests a move for every two photos. Open one, watch each option play, choose, and create the animations when you're ready.

Each step: the words in the captions, and what's on screen meanwhile.

    In a Life Story, a move carries each photo into the next

    When you're ready, create them from the bar below

    An orange outline marks the button in the bar at the bottom that creates the animations, with how many it will make.

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. The animations you see were made with AI from those photos, as every animation in Glim is. There's no sound: the captions do the explaining, and they're written out here, with what's on screen at each moment.
