How to Align Photos to Create a Movie
Using photos as a slideshow or short movie to show your friends and family is a quick and fun way for everyone to see your latest vacation or family gathering. The easiest way to go about this is to have video editing software. There are a few programs that often come free with your computer such as Windows Movie Maker or iMovie. These programs can definitely do the task of adding pictures to a music slideshow and are very cost effective. Although they are on different operating systems, the process is very similar to adding photos to create a slideshow.

Click and drag the individual pictures from your collections menu into the timeline on the bottom. The timeline is the area into which you can drag pictures, movies, and music. Rearrange them into the format that you wish and that will be shown in the DVD you burn from it. The timeline will automatically reshape, resize, and realign them in the correct format to fill the screen of whatever medium you decide to show them on. Once you've added all the pictures you want in the order you wish them to be seen in, click "File" and then "Export" or "Save to Disk".
