that you want to use
Click on Import
Step 2: Place/Arrange Photos
Photos can be placed in any order
and can be added, deleted or
rearranged at any time
Step 3: Add transitions

To change a video effect, you must
first delete it (unless you want your
layered video effects)

the star in the

Effects
Step 5: Import Music
This will bring
up your files
Find and highlight
the music file(s)
you want to use
Click on Import
The Music file will show up in your
collection of photos (usually at the
beginning)
Drag the file
down to
where you
would like it
to start
For example:
If you would
like it to
start at the
beginning, you
would drag it
to in front of
your first
photo.
This will automatically convert your
storyboard to a timeline
Storyboard vs.
Timeline
A timeline enables you to set the duration of your slides, put
the music exactly where you want it, as well as see all parts
of your video and where they overlay all at the same time
Step 6: Editing Music
A particular song can be shortened or a particular part
selected by clicking on either the end of the beginning of a
file (whichever part you’d like to cut out) and dragging in
towards your desired spot in the song
By right clicking on the highlighted
music file, you have the ability to
change the volume of this
particular song, fade it in or fade
it out…all very useful editing tools
in making your music “blend” with
your photos.
Two or more songs…
Whether it be at the end of a song or after a song has
been clipped, another song can be dragged down next to
a previous song
By clicking on the second song and dragging it towards
the first song, you will cause the first song to fade out as
the second fades in.
Step 7: Adding Titles, Credits, and Captions
After you click “Make Titles
and Credits”, this list will
appear.
To make a Title
page
To make a caption on a
selected photo (make sure
the photo you want this
caption on is highlighted in
the timeline)
To make Credits
for the end
After you select one of the
previous options, this screen will
appear.
Type in the top box whatever you would like your
main title to be, and in the lower box an optional
subtitle. You can then edit your title page/captions
(in the circled area)
Change the
text
animation

font style
