Slideshow is a video sequence consisting of static images that replace each other at a certain frequency. In order to make this video sequence more interesting for the viewer, you can add soundtrack to it. There are programs designed specifically for creating slideshows, but if you do not want to install them on your computer, you can do the same using the Movie Maker editor.
It is necessary
- - Movie Maker program;
- - files with images;
- - a file with music.
Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the pictures selected for the slideshow for work. To do this, create a new folder and copy all the images you need there. Place the music file in the same folder.
Step 2
Select all the objects copied to the folder by pressing Ctrl + A and drag them into the Movie Maker editor window using the mouse.
Step 3
Use the mouse to drag the audio file onto the pasteboard. In Movie Maker, the timeline can be represented as a timeline and storyboard. You can switch between these modes using the Ctrl + T shortcut. Select the timeline mode.
Step 4
Using the "Titles and Titles" command, which can be found in the "Tools" menu, open the title settings window. Write the title of your slideshow using the option to add a title before the movie. The font of the inscription, its color and how it will move around the screen can be customized using the "Additional features" list. After finishing setting the name, click on the inscription "Finish".
Step 5
Start adding pictures to the timeline one at a time. To do this, select the image in the program window by clicking on it with the mouse and press Ctrl + D. By default, the duration of a still image added to the Timeline in Movie Maker is determined by the settings. To change or view these settings, use the Options option from the Tools menu. Click on the "Advanced Options" tab. Change the duration of the image and transition if necessary.
Step 6
The duration of an individual picture from the future slideshow can be changed manually. To do this, drag the mouse over the edge of the image on the timeline.
Step 7
Add a few more images to the slideshow and, turning on playback with the button located under the player window, view the result. If necessary, change the duration of the stay of the pictures in the frame.
Step 8
To make your slideshow even more dynamic, insert transitions between pictures. To do this, switch to storyboard mode and select the "Video Transitions" option from the "Tools" menu. To select a suitable transition, select it in the program window and see the preview in the player. Drag the transition you like to the rectangle located between the frames.
Step 9
View the resulting slideshow. Make sure that the individual images follow each other in time to the selected music. Replace transitions if necessary. To do this, in storyboard mode, select the editable transition between frames and press the Delete button. Insert a more suitable one in the place of the remote transition.
Step 10
Save the resulting slideshow using the Save Movie File option from the File menu. If you have an account on one of the social networks or video hosting, you can upload the resulting video to one of your albums or channels.
