Twelve shots, a month set huge and cropped by the edge, and a ring that fills as the year runs.

Make your own year in review video

One photo per month ending on December — the yearly recap, without a subscription to the app that usually makes it. Say a sentence like the one below and your agent writes you a different one — free, in your browser.

Not settings — each one builds something else.

  • >A year in review with a number for each month rather than a photo.

  • >The same twelve months but ending on a photo from January of the next year.

  • >A recap of a project instead of a year, with one image per milestone.

What it worked out on its own

  • The ring is the calendar: twelve segments filling as the reel runs, and the only element that persists — which is what turns twelve shots into one year.

  • The month bleeds off the bottom edge. Centred at a readable size it is a caption; at four times that, cropped, it is the design.

  • December holds four times as long and brings the year with it. A reel that ends on its twelfth identical beat has no ending.
