Photo-booth ads lock the enclosure wrap; never invent the party
Lock the booth wrap. Slideshow of consented strips. A generated wedding party is a policy problem.
Lock the booth wrap. Slideshow of consented strips. A generated wedding party is a policy problem.
A photo-booth rental that books is the enclosure you actually deliver — the wrap, the lighting, the screen bezel — plus strips people agreed you could show. It is not a generated dance floor of guests who were never in the booth. Inventing a wedding party is a likeness problem and a trust problem. The wrap is the SKU. The strips are evidence. Keep both real.
The wrap is the product; the party is not yours to generate
Photograph the booth you roll: enclosure graphics, logo, the exact vinyl, the tablet bezel, the stool if the stool ships. That still is the catalog. Text-to-video will invent a cousin kiosk at a cousin reception. Image-to-video from a scraped venue photo will animate people who did not sit in your box.
Photographers is portraits. Wedding planners is the event stack. This page is photo-booth rentals: the enclosure as SKU, the strip as proof. Do not rewrite those pages as a generated first dance, and do not borrow a planner's guest list as prompt fuel.
If the wrap is the ad, lock the wrap. A slow push on the photographed enclosure is allowed. A prompt that "fills the booth with a joyful wedding party" is a generate of private people. A deepfake of a private person is not a style. Guests are not public figures. Labelling the clip AI does not create a grant. "We changed the faces 15 percent" is not a defence.
Children in a generated strip are worse. Do not.
Slideshow the strips you have consent to show
You already have the files: wrap stills, empty-booth stills, strips from events that signed content-use. Arrange those. Do not ask a model to invent a better party.
Turn photos into a slideshow is the named capability. create_slideshow_from_uploaded_images takes the image URLs you already have. The order you give them becomes the slide order. It does not generate new art. There is no image-generation charge for the stills. Optional overlay captions are a lightweight text pass, not a new picture of a guest.
The studio door is the AI slideshow maker. The other slideshow — generate a board from a prompt — is the wrong noun here. A prompt-planned carousel of "wedding photo booth vibes" will sample faces. You came to arrange files you own.
Output is a slideshow object, not a finished reel. Convert later if you need a video with transitions. Editing one slide later is a delta on the board you already have. Neither of those is a reason to regenerate the guests.
Consent is the gate, not the prompt. A couple who signed a booth waiver is a strip you may show. A cousin in the background who did not is a crop, not a generate-out. Do not inpaint a stranger into a prettier version of the same night.
Contact-sheet the tape before you post the strips
If the proof is a clip — a booth loop, a wrap turntable, a night you already filmed — review the frames before you cut a carousel out of them.
/free-tools/video-contact-sheet never spends a credit. It seeks to N timestamps, draws a labelled grid, and runs in the browser on Canvas and the File API. Nothing uploads. No account. No watermark. HDR will look washed out on purpose; the grid is shot review, not a grade.
Use it to see whether a guest's face is in a frame you were about to post, whether the wrap reads, whether the hook is actually frame one. Sampling a keeper is not generating a storyboard. Prompting a video model to "make a contact sheet of this booth night" is a generate you will still be billed for, and it will not be review of this file.
Do not generate twelve stills "as a storyboard" of a night you already exported. Sample the night. If the sheet shows a face you cannot show, that is information. Generating a cleaner 0:04 does not review the file. It replaces the people.
What this ad is allowed to be
Allowed:
- The photographed enclosure, wrap locked.
- A slideshow of consented strips, in an order you chose.
- A contact sheet of tape you already have, for free, in the browser.
- Overlay of hours, a package name, a CTA you wrote — type, not generated guests.
Not allowed:
- A generated wedding party inside or around the booth.
- A lookalike of last Saturday's couple "for the portfolio."
- Children invented as proof of a kid-friendly package.
- A prompt-slideshow that was supposed to be your camera roll.
The test: pause on every still. Is that your wrap, and is every face a person who sat in your booth and agreed? Yes: this job. No, a prettier reception appeared: you generated the party. Go back to the enclosure photo. Arrange the strips you have.
FAQ
Can I prompt a crowd around the booth if the wrap still is locked?
No. The wrap can hold and the faces can still be invented people. Locking the enclosure does not license a generated party. Use consented strips, or show the empty booth.
Do my booth photos get regenerated in the slideshow?
No. The upload job uses the files you provided. Order is the creative act. Optional overlay captions are text on those files, not new generations of the guests.
Does the contact sheet cost credits if I am logged in?
No. The tool never spends a credit. Login does not change the meter. Generation is the thing that bills. Sampling frames is not generation.
Why not generate "stock" guests so I never need a waiver?
Because those guests still read as people at a private event, and the policy problem is the likeness, not the paperwork you skipped. Empty booth, real wrap, consented strips. That is the rental ad.
