Free tools for planning a photo film
Two tools for the questions that come up before you make a film from photos: how many photos you need and which package covers it, and what the Hebrew date is and when the bar or bat mitzvah falls. They're free, with no sign-up, and they work it out in your browser.
Montage length and photo count calculator
How many photos a film of the length you want needs, how long a film of the photos you already have runs, and which package covers it. For a Growing film it also spreads the photos across the years.
For exampleGrowing film for a bar mitzvah, up to 5 minutes: 59 photos, 58 animations, 4 minutes 56 seconds. The 5-minute package, 60 animations, ₪279 in Israel, $84.90 outside Israel.
Hebrew date and bar or bat mitzvah date
The Hebrew date of any day, and the bar or bat mitzvah date from a date of birth, including a birth after sunset, Adar in a leap year and the 30th of a month. With a line ready for the film's title and the invitation, and a source for every rule.
For exampleA boy born on 5 May 2014 (5 Iyar 5774) becomes bar mitzvah on 5 Iyar 5787: Wednesday, 12 May 2027.
After the planning, the film
Glim turns photos of the people you love into a short, finished film, with AI animation, an opening, music and Hebrew titles. The first animation is free, and you pay only when you go on to a whole film.
