Want to make a personal Lunar New Year video for family instead of forwarding boring messages? This guide covers 5 steps to create studio-quality slideshow without edit knowledge.
Step 1: Prepare 20-40 memory photos
Photos should tell timeline: opening (last year), middle (events: birthday, travel, wedding), closing (current Tet family gather). Use Crop tool to unify ratios.
Step 2: Pick festive music
Modern pop, traditional, folk, acoustic, or EDM remix. Source: Pixabay CC0 (search "lunar new year"), YouTube Audio Library, FreePD.com.
Step 3: Compress before upload
30 photos × 5 MB iPhone = 150 MB slow upload. Compress to 80% quality → 20-50 MB total.
Step 4: BPM-sync slideshow
TaoClip auto-syncs transitions to beat. Beats per slide 4 (slow) or 8 (very slow). Output 1080p 16:9 or 1:1 Square.
Step 5: Polish + share
Add subtitle wishes via Subtitle tool. Watermark family name with Watermark tool. Compress for messengers via Compress video.
3 mistakes to avoid
- Too many photos (80+) — limit 30-40 for 1-2 minute video.
- Mixed aspect ratios — crop all to one ratio first.
- Copyrighted music — use CC0 to avoid Facebook silence.
