Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    The first thing is making sure you have the software. For this article I used Windows Movie Maker but you can also use Microsoft Plus!Photo Story 2 Le.

  2. Step 2

    Next gather all your picture files and put them in one place so it's easy to for you to find them when you are ready to add them to your slideshow.

  3. Step 3

    When you open the application on the left hand side you will see three numbered headings with bullets underneath. On the right side you will see the pictures as you put them in and a small video window which you play, pause,stop, rew,and ff.On the bottom you will see a timeline where all the pictures and audio/music files are shown.

  4. Step 4

    The first step (Capture video) tells you what you want to import. In this case is pictures and music.

  5. Step 5

    Once you import the pictures and music, drag down to the timeline so they are displayed in the bottom. Make sure the music is right underneath the pictures so that they both come on together.

  6. Step 6

    The second step (Edit video) tells what video effects if any you want to add for example you can make the pictures dissolve into nothing or have it fade in and out. You can also add a title.

  7. Step 7

    The last step (Finish Movie)tells you how you want to save it whether you want it on your computer, by email, CD, to the web or to a dv camera.
