3. Choose your favorite scenes.

After transferring photos to your device, select ~10 of your favorite clips — ideally spread over morning, afternoon, and evening.

4. Combine the scenes into a short film.

Use a simple video or social media app like CapCut (free), TikTok, Instagram, or iMovie (Mac). Add text, transitions, or music for extra pizzazz.
