Create a slideshow on your computer to show your friends and family pictures and video.

If you've uploaded a video to YouTube that you'd like to use in a slideshow, you can easily obtain it to do so. However, when downloading a video to use in your video or presentation, make sure that you own that video. Sometimes, after uploading a video onto YouTube, you may delete it to save space on your hard drive. If this is the case, you can download it to put it in your slideshow.

      Play around with your creation until you are satisfied. You can add music by opening "Music" under "Import" and dragging your songs to the bottom, the same way you did with your videos and pictures.
