Use media to create your PulpMotion slideshow. Photos, video and even live screen shots are usable in PulpMotion to create the perfect presentation. PulpMotion makes adding media easy with its drag-and-drop enabled templates.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Open the PulpMotion project.
Step2
Check the "Auto Update" box directly under the right corner of the slideshow working area. Look directly up from the white tool bar that runs across the bottom of the working area if you can't find it.
Step3
Open the file of the media you want to use. It's easiest to work with media files when you can see them, so make sure your computer displays the media thumbnails.
Step4
Decide on a photo or movie file to use.
Step5
Drag and drop the media file into one of the blank boxes at the very bottom of the slideshow working screen. Click on the file's thumbnail and hold the mouse button down as you drag the image onto the PulpMotion working screen. Let the mouse button go when you position the thumbnail over one of the blank boxes at the bottom of the working area.
Step6
Click "Preview" in the white tool bar running along the bottom of the slideshow working area and PulpMotion displays each of your photos in the working area one at a time.
Step7
Delete a photo. Click on it and hold the mouse button down while you drag the image out of the PulpMotion working area. The file is then removed from sight.
