# Glinded — full product reference > Glinded is an AI-powered memorial and family video editor. Upload your photos > and videos, describe what you want in plain language, and Glinded composes > them into a finished video — with music, transitions, and text overlays — no > editing skills required. Glinded runs as a connector (an MCP server) inside AI chat apps such as ChatGPT. The ChatGPT app is live today; the Claude connector is in progress. Instead of a traditional web editor, you create and refine videos through conversation with your AI assistant, which calls Glinded's tools on your behalf. ## What Glinded is Glinded is made by Glinded, Inc. It is an AI memorial video maker: families upload their photos and home videos, describe the person being remembered, and Glinded composes the material into a finished memorial video with licensed background music, gentle transitions, and name and date overlays. You guide the result in plain language — there is no timeline, no editing software, and no skills to learn. Glinded does not invent memories; it arranges the photos and videos you provide. ## Why memorial videos A memorial video is often needed on a deadline, by someone who is grieving, and who has never edited video before. The photos are scattered across phones and old albums, the service is days away, and general-purpose editing tools assume time and practice that no one has in that moment. Glinded is built for that specific situation — not as a generic slideshow tool with a memorial template bolted on. ## Use cases - Memorial and funeral tribute videos for a service or celebration of life. - Memorial slideshows for a service, reception, online memorial page, or private family sharing. - Funeral photo slideshows for funeral home playback, memorial services, receptions, or family gatherings. - Family photo and video compilations from years of camera-roll photos. - Anniversary, birthday, and milestone montages. - Turning scattered old family photos into a single video worth keeping. - Digitizing a box of scanned old family photos into a movie you can share. - Funeral slideshow music planning when a family needs a licensed track and a MUSIC-LICENSE.txt handoff file for the venue. ## How it works 1. Add Glinded to ChatGPT and sign in (or sign up) when prompted. A free account is enough to start. 2. Tell ChatGPT what you want — for example, "Create a memorial video for my grandmother." 3. Upload photos and videos through the asset widget in the chat, or create a shareable upload link so family and friends can contribute their own. 4. Glinded composes a scene-by-scene narrative from your assets, picks licensed background music, and shows you an interactive preview. 5. Click any element in the preview — text or a photo — and tell ChatGPT what to change. Edits apply in real time. 6. Ask the assistant to render the final MP4. Rendering typically takes a few minutes; when it finishes you get a download link. ## Capabilities - **Conversational video composition**: describe the video you want and Glinded builds the scene-by-scene composition. - **Asset upload**: upload photos and videos directly, or create a shareable upload link so family and friends can contribute their own assets. - **Licensed background music**: a curated Creative Commons catalog on the free plan; every paid plan unlocks 55,000+ professional tracks via an Epidemic Sound partnership. Every plan includes a music-license file you can share with any venue. - **AI-assisted photo sequencing**: Glinded organizes scattered photos into pacing that feels intentional, not like a generic auto-slideshow. - **Interactive preview player**: review the composed video, click any element (text, photo) to select it, and ask the assistant to change it — edits apply in real time. - **Rendering**: export the finished video as a downloadable MP4. ## Pricing Pricing is one-time, in USD. No subscription. The price is set by how many photos and video clips you upload: each photo counts as one, and every 10 seconds of video counts as one. The length of the finished video never affects the price. - **Keepsake, free**: up to 5 photos, Creative Commons music. - **A Moment, $4.99**: up to 12 photos. - **A Chapter, $8.99**: up to 40 photos. - **A Story, $14.99**: up to 150 photos. - **A Lifetime, $29.99**: up to 300 photos, then $4.99 per additional 50. Every paid plan includes the 55,000+ track Epidemic Sound catalog, an MP4 download, and a music-license file you can share with any venue. Edits, music changes and re-downloads are included once you have paid; growing into a bigger plan costs only the difference. Live pricing: .
