1-Minute Birthday Slideshow

I’m putting together a short, lively surprise for a friend’s birthday: a one-minute slideshow that mixes photos and quick video clips into a single MP4 they can keep forever. The overall vibe should feel fun and playful from start to finish, with upbeat, cheerful music driving the pace—no slow moments.

Here’s what I already have:
• About 30 high-resolution photos and 6 short phone videos (all horizontal, most under 10 seconds).
• A preferred song in MP3 format, cleared for personal use.

What I need from you:
• Seamless editing that syncs media transitions to the beat so the energy stays high.
• Simple yet lively motion graphics or text callouts for the birthday person’s name, age, and a few funny captions.
• Light color correction so photos and videos match in brightness and tone.
• Final export: 60 seconds (±2 sec), 1920×1080 MP4, plus a version without the music in case we want to swap tracks later.

If you like working in Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects, that’s perfect—use whichever you prefer as long as the end result is clean and polished. One minor revision round should be included so we can tweak timing or a caption if needed.

I’ll share all media via a Google Drive link as soon as we start. Looking forward to seeing your creative spin on this birthday highlight reel!
