Who this helps
church media teams, funeral homes, family volunteers, and service coordinators handling venue playback.
24-hour tribute planning
Test the projector setup before the memorial slideshow plays.
Prepare a funeral service projector test checklist for aspect ratio, brightness, audio, captions, file format, backup device, and operator notes.
What to gather
- Aspect ratio
- Audio level
- Caption readability
- Backup device
Suggested workflow
- Bring the final video file.
- Test it on the projector.
- Check sound and readability.
- Confirm backup playback steps.
Privacy boundary
MemorialRushAI does not automatically upload family photos or service details. Use secure transfer only, review every name and date, and ask the editor to delete working files after delivery and approval.
Rush readiness checklist
- Test the actual projector or TV instead of only checking on a laptop.
- Confirm whether the venue needs MP4, USB, HDMI, AirPlay, or another path.
- Keep a second copy with someone who will be present at the service.
Family review notes
- Ask the family to approve the visible framing on the venue screen if time allows.
- Check that captions are readable from the back of the room.
- Confirm whether the slideshow starts before, during, or after a spoken segment.
Privacy and consent checklist
- Remove temporary files from venue computers after playback.
- Do not leave source photos on shared equipment.
- Keep the family archive copy separate from the venue playback copy.
Editor handoff review
Before checkout, make sure the brief includes the final contact email, deadline, video length, music notes, photo count, required captions, and any do-not-use instructions. A clean handoff reduces rework during a sensitive deadline.
When a paid memorial handoff is worth it
Buy the $49 starter only after the free brief has enough names, dates, photos, service timing, tone, and music notes for a careful editor handoff. Use the $99 expanded pack when the family also needs archive notes, accessibility review prompts, after-service copy, backup naming, and resharing notes. Skip payment if you need photo scanning, final video production, public posting, funeral-home contact, USB creation, file deletion, grief counseling, legal advice, music licensing advice, accessibility certification, consent advice, or guaranteed delivery, playback, approval, privacy, ranking, traffic, sales, or revenue.
Does MemorialRushAI convert video files?
No. It prepares the test checklist; format conversion should be handled separately.
What if the projector crops the video?
Flag the issue before the service and use a backup format or different playback setting if available.
