How to Build a Cinematic Slideshow in Lightroom (Without It Looking Like a Slideshow)

There’s a specific kind of frustration that comes from having great footage and great photos but no clean way to combine them. For a long time, my answer was to drag everything into a timeline editor and spend three hours doing something that should have taken thirty minutes. What I didn’t fully appreciate was that Lightroom’s Slideshow module can do this job surprisingly well, especially when you want a clean cuts-only sequence that feels more like a short film than a wedding photo gallery.
