Modern technologies have made great strides forward in all spheres of activity. And now, thanks to them, from photos and videos, you can create a vivid dynamic clip or film that can be viewed on any player or shared with friends on social networks.
Currently, a number of programs are known that can turn photos and videos into a high-quality film with interesting transitions, special effects, and titles. For beginners, for example, a special application from the Windows manufacturer, Windows Movie Maker, is suitable. On most operating systems, this application is included in the main assembly. If there is no such component in the OS, you can download it on the official website of the corporation and install it following the prompts of the installation wizard. Everything is pretty simple and straightforward there.
When the application appears on your computer, you can safely start creating a movie from your photos and videos. To do this, run the program via the start menu. For convenience, you can create a shortcut to the application on the desktop, which greatly simplifies access to the application.
Now in the main menu in the upper toolbar, find the "View" section and in the drop-down window, check the boxes "Toolbar", "Status bar", "Taskbar". It will be much easier to work with these options enabled in the future.
Now on the left side of the working window, find the item "Video recording" and select the options "Import video" and "Import images". Click on these buttons and add video files and photos to the project. After that, drag them to the storyboard scale, drag and drop the files in the desired sequence.
If necessary, add music to the movie, which can be trimmed and adjusted to fit the duration of the clip if necessary.
After that, proceed to editing the film. This is the second section on the left side of the working window. Here you can view and add video effects, transitions between frames, titles and credits to the project, both at the beginning and at the end of the movie. If desired, the film can be diversified with several titles, superimposing them on specific files. They can be superimposed on the video at the beginning of the movie, at the end, on the selected clip, or after the clip.
In the same section - "Video editing" - options for adding animation to the project, changing the font, its size and text color will be available. There is also a function to create an auto film in one of the proposed styles: music video, movie highlighting, mirror and shift, vintage movies, sports news.
After the movie is ready, you can use the preview function. A dedicated window is located on the right side of the screen. And if you are satisfied with the result, save it to your computer using the functions of the third section of the "Operations with films" menu - "Finishing the creation of a movie". The resulting clip can be saved to a computer, burned directly to disc, or sent by e-mail. In general, try, experiment and enjoy watching your own movies.
