Example

On the Photos step you set the order: type a number, or sort them all at once, and Undo takes it back. Then open a photo and adjust its crop.

What the video shows, step by step

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

  1. 0:00

    On the Photos step, you set the order

    The "Photos" step of a Classic film, with six photos. Above them are "Sort", arrows to undo and redo, and two more ways to add photos: "Invite family" and "Bring from Google Photos".

  2. 0:01

    Type a new number to move a photo

    In the fifth photo's number box, 2 is typed, and the photo moves to second place.

  3. 0:04

    Or sort them all at once from the sort menu

    "Sort" opens a menu with "Sort by file name" and "Reverse order", and "Sort by file name" puts every photo in a new order.

  4. 0:09

    Undo brings the old order back

    The "Undo" arrow, tapped twice, brings back the order from the start.

  5. 0:12

    Open a photo to see it up close

    Tapping photo 2 opens it up close, as "Photo 2", with "Crop", "Restore" and "Remove".

  6. 0:15

    In the crop, choose what stays in the frame

    "Crop" opens "Adjust the crop": a zoom in, then the photo is dragged within the frame.

  7. 0:24

    Save, and that's it

    "Save crop" saves it and closes the window, and under the photo it now says "Your crop".

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.
