How to Make a Multipage Photo Montage for YouTube
The Windows Live Movie Maker program included with your Windows 7 installation allows you to create multipage photo montages that can be directly uploaded to your YouTube account through Movie Maker. You can even customize several aspects of the montage, including the amount of time each image is displayed, as well as the transition between images. Once you are finished with the montage, you can use one of the program's default utilities to upload the video to your YouTube account.
