Troubleshooting Missing Photos in your Mixbook Movie?
There is now an easy fix that we can share with customers when photos don’t appear in their Mixbook Movie. Instead of regenerating the project multiple times, this quick setting adjustment usually resolves the issue:
Step 1: Open the Mixbook Movie
Start by accessing the project where photos are missing.
Log in to the customer's account.
Navigate to the project that contains the Mixbook Movie.
Open the Movie Editor.
Step 2: Go to Settings
Adjusting the duration setting resolves missing photo issues.
Locate the Settings option in the top-right corner of the Movie editor
Click to open the Settings panel (gear icon)
Step 3: Select "Fit to Soundtrack"
This option ensures all photos are included without needing regeneration.
In the Settings menu, find the Duration dropdown.
Select Fit to Soundtrack from the available options
Preview the Movie to confirm all photos are now included
Quick Tip:
If the customer has already tried regenerating multiple times, reassure them that this is a known behavior — not a bug — and that changing the Duration setting is the correct fix. No need to escalate unless the issue persists after switching to Fit to Soundtrack.
