Episode Synopsis

Begin by collecting your photos and video clips. Use good lighting and stable footage. Since the video book supports multiple orientations, mixing vertical and horizontal is acceptable, but it’s wise to preview how each clip looks. Heirloom accepts standard formats like .mp4, .mov, .jpeg, and more. Shorten longer clips and discard unusable segments. Trim transitions, balance audio levels, and segment by theme (for instance: introductions, messages, celebration). This step ensures smooth storytelling and avoids surprises when the book renders.
