PoolFilm

Collect friends' photos via one link and auto-cut a shareable film

Problem

Making a recap video for a trip or party means chasing everyone for photos, then manually editing and syncing music, which takes ages. Someone on r/AppIdeas built a tool because they had to do it again next year, showing a clear recurring pain point.

Solution

Create a private film roll and share a link; friends upload photos and videos from their phones; the system auto-selects, orders, and generates a music-backed short film that participants can preview, tweak, and share.

Users

Event organizers, travel groups, families, and friend circles

MVP

Create a private film roll and generate a share link; allow multi-person photo and video upload; auto-order by time and scene; generate a music-backed short film; support sharing and download

Revenue

Free tier limited by participant count and video length; premium unlocks HD export and more templates; pay-per-event option

Why now

Mobile sharing and editing capabilities are mature, LLM and auto-soundtrack costs are dropping, and most existing tools focus on solo editing rather than collaborative collection
