AI-Assisted, Life Story Memorial Videos
From a folder of digital photos to a polished, age-sorted memorial tribute video — in just 24 hours. After losing a loved one, there is life to grieve, an event to plan, and dozens of estate and closure tasks; let us liberate some time for you by helping create a cherished video keepsake. At SortByAge, we offer families a complete memorial slideshow-to-video service, delivering a meaningful, event-ready tribute with speed, care, and compassion. For many families, this offers the best of both worlds: automation of time consuming and technical tasks like photo-sorting & music layering, while allowing families the full ability to customize in familiar PowerPoint or G:Slides tools.

What’s Included in Our Slideshow-to-Video Creation Package
Right-Sized Video Length
We’ll match your desired video duration, up to 20 minutes. Our team allocates time for intros, closings, and captioned slides, and makes sure to hit your time target +/20 seconds (i.e. make the video 10 minutes +/- 20 seconds). Select a video length based on either (1) a set duration (2) a view time per slide or (3) based upon the duration of selected songs.
Photo and Slide Movement
We’ll apply gentle entrance/exit animations, so photos appear and fade with care and visual variety — no jarring or repetitive transitions. Photos enter, zoom, exit with professional style. Build your own in your slideshow or choose from one of five curated movement bundles.
Add Music
Include up to six favorite songs — choose from our "Editor's picks" royalty-free or feel free to upload any music that suits your loved one's tribute. For inspiration you use our interactive memorial music selector select a song. You designate order and, if you'd like, the sections of the video for each song (for example, “Amazing Grace” from slide 30 to 72). Note: Managing song rights is a customer responsibility. We loop and gently truncate and crossfade to right size your songs within your memorial video.
One Edit Round Included
After we send your draft video, you’ll have the opportunity to request one round of changes. Work with our videographers to get the final version to feel just right.
HD Digital Delivery
You’ll receive a 1080p HD download link — easy to email or text to funeral homes, friends, and family. 4K UHD is available for an added processing fee for display on very large display screens.
Select from 24 Backgrounds or Add Your Own
Fast Turnaround - Done For You. Your first-draft tribute video will be delivered within 24 hours of your approved slideshow submission.
