How it works
A helpful estimate before you edit
Photos set the foundation
More photos need more music time or faster pacing. The calculator starts with your photo count and desired emotional speed.
Music changes the feel
Slow songs usually need longer photo holds. Faster songs can support shorter holds, especially for upbeat sections.
Captions need breathing room
Each caption adds a little time so viewers can comfortably read without missing the photo.
