SIMPLER WITH GLINDED
How Glinded makes it easier.
Glinded handles the editing decisions that usually slow the process down: organizing photos, choosing a flow, setting transitions, matching music, and rendering the final file.
No chronological sorting
Upload photos and videos in any order. Glinded can help arrange them into a story.
No editing timeline
Ask for changes in plain language instead of dragging clips around.
No template hunting
Glinded chooses pacing, text placement, and transitions based on the photos and tone.
No music-license guesswork
Finished videos include music details your funeral home can review.
No export settings
The finished video is a downloadable MP4, ready to test and share.
BEFORE YOU START
What you need before you start.
Start with what you have. Glinded can ask for the few details it needs, then help with the order, captions, music, and format.
Family photos
Start with the photos you have. They do not need to be sorted before you upload them.
Optional video clips
Use short clips when they add voice, movement, or a familiar moment. Family can help add files.
Name and dates
Add a full name and dates only if you want them shown in the video.
Optional captions
Share any messages or quotes you want included. Glinded can suggest simple captions too.
Music preferences
Tell Glinded the feeling or favorite song. It can suggest Creative Commons, Premium, or similar-feel licensed tracks.
Where it will play
Glinded asks if it will be watched on a TV, laptop, or phone, then creates the right format.
WHY GLINDED
Why Glinded is easier.
A DIY editor can work, but it puts every decision on the family. Glinded is an app in ChatGPT built for the simpler version: upload what you have, describe the person, and let the app help create the video.
Editing by hand
You control every slide, transition, caption, and music cue. That also means sorting the photos, building the timeline, checking music rights, and testing the export yourself.
- Photos usually need to be organized first
- Timing and captions are adjusted slide by slide
- Music licensing and export settings are on you

- Downloadable MP4 includes music details for review

HOW GLINDED WORKS
How Glinded makes the video step by step.
Glinded is an app in ChatGPT, so the conversation guides the upload, asks for the details it needs, creates a first cut, and gives you a finished MP4 to review.
Step 1: Open Glinded in ChatGPT
Open the Glinded app from ChatGPT and ask for a memorial video in plain language. You do not need to pick a template or learn an editing interface before you start.
A simple request is enough. Glinded will guide you to the upload flow, including a private link when you have more photos or want relatives to help. You can add the person's name, dates, tone, and any special notes now or later.

Step 2: Upload photos and videos
Add the photos and short video clips you have, even if they come from different phones, scans, folders, or family albums.
They do not need to be in chronological order. If relatives want to help, share the private upload link so they can contribute files too.
Step 3: Answer the follow-up questions
After the first request, Glinded asks only for the details it still needs. That may include the name, dates, where the video will be watched, and whether it should be landscape or portrait.
You can also add any must-include notes, such as a favorite place, family role, short quote, or story you want reflected.
Step 4: Review the first cut
Glinded composes the first version with sequencing, pacing, transitions, text placement, and music matched to the tone you described.
If you want changes, click the photo or text you want to adjust and tell ChatGPT what you want. You can edit a caption, swap a photo, or change a scene entirely.
It works from the real photos and videos you upload. It does not create new faces or invent life details.
Step 5: Change the music if needed
The first cut includes automatically selected licensed music based on the tone you described. If it does not feel right, just ask for a different direction.
For example: "Change the music to a melancholy country song with lyrics." Glinded can search Creative Commons music, the Premium catalog, or a licensed track with a similar feel to a favorite song. The licensed music for funeral videos guide explains what a funeral home can review.
Step 6: Download the MP4 video
When the final version is ready, Glinded opens the download page on Glinded.com.
If the video is under 30 seconds, you can download it free. Longer videos show the one-time plan needed for download: Standard for Creative Commons music, or Premium for the larger Epidemic Sound catalog. See pricing for current details.
Download the MP4 video and the MUSIC-LICENSE.txt. The license file gives the venue music details to review. Test the MP4 on the same TV, laptop, or projector before the service.
THE WHOLE FLOW
What it looks like inside chat.
The assistant asks for the few choices that matter, then returns a first cut you can review and revise in plain language.

What is Glinded?
Glinded is an app in ChatGPT that helps you make a memorial video from photos and short clips. You upload what you have, describe the person and tone, and Glinded composes a downloadable MP4 you can review and revise in plain language.
How many photos do I need for a memorial video?
You can make a short memorial video with 10 to 20 photos, while many funeral slideshow videos use 30 to 80 photos depending on the length. Clear, meaningful photos matter more than having a perfect archive.
How long should a memorial video be?
Many memorial videos are about 3 to 5 minutes for a service, though a shorter video can work for sharing with family. The right length depends on the number of photos, the setting, and how much time the venue has available.
What music can I use in a memorial video?
Use music you have permission to use, music supplied by a licensed catalog, or a track with clear Creative Commons terms. Funeral homes may ask how the music is licensed before playing the video at a service.
Can I make a memorial video without editing software?
Yes. Glinded is an app in ChatGPT where you can upload photos, describe the person and tone, and receive a composed MP4 without editing a timeline yourself.
What file format should I export?
Export an MP4 when possible. MP4 is widely supported by funeral homes, TVs, laptops, phones, and family sharing links, which makes it safer than relying on a project file from an editing app.
Can family members help add photos?
Yes. Families can collect photos in a shared folder or upload flow before the video is made. With Glinded, relatives can contribute photos through a shareable upload link so one person does not have to gather everything alone.
