Question

Is it permissible to create a presentation during Chol Hamoed (e.g., from holiday photos) and show it during Chol Hamoed itself? It should be noted that I am not a professional in this field and have never studied it; I edit nicely but as a personal hobby, not as work.

Answer

Hello 

Work done by a non-professional  is permitted for the needs of the festival.

In other words, non-professional work is allowed for enjoyment during the festival itself. 

I do not know if the creation of this presentation is considered 'professional work' or 'non-professional work' - because it is not determined by the time of study or an official certificate, but by the task itself, whether it requires expertise or is something simple that anyone can do.
