How to use an outline

Open the downloaded file in any text editor or Markdown app. Start with a sentence about the story, then list photo filenames beneath the chapter headings. Add a few caption notes while the details are fresh. The suggested photo counts are editing prompts, not technical limits.

These are story-planning templates, not editable visual layouts or a hosted album. Use the contact sheet maker to preview your selection together. You can take the finished outline into whichever album or video editor you choose.
