Ok I have a question for Buckeyefan....your travel destinations are absolutely awesome. Ive been watching them now for a few days. How do you do that with the pictures. I want to do some reviews but other than holding the pictures up or sitting in front of the computer I dont have a clue how. I do have some video footage that im going to sit next to the tv and show on some but how do you do that? They are great!
Anyone if you havent had a chance to check them out its under Buckeyefan.....
Aww, thank you very much.
I did these in Windows Movie Maker. Let me see if I can trace my steps for you- I am at work, so I don't have my Movie Maker in front of me, so I will check tonight sometime, and if there is a wrong step, I will correct it- here goes....
1.) Video the intro on my camera, and upload the video into Movie Maker- drag to the storyboard.
2.) Go to File-Import into Collections. Import all my photos that I want to use for that review.
3.) Drag the photos into the storyboard somewhat in order. You can switch to the timeline view (button located at the top of the storyboard), and click the pictures and drag them to make them visible for shorter/longer time periods.
4.) Switch back to storyboard view, and go to Tools-Video Transitions. I usually use the same transitions throughout the same review, but you have lots to choose from. Click on the transition you want (this is the shapes/designs when one picture is fading and the next is coming in)- drag the transition to the squares on the storyboard between the photos. Do this for all pictures.
5.) I usually add credits to the end of my review, and to do this, go to Tools-Titles/End Credits. I typically use the end credits for mine- click on that, and type in the text you want. You can change the background color, text color, font, and the way the font moves here too.
6.) To narrate, I switch to timeline view. I usually make the end credits really long (like 30 seconds or so) to give myself extra time to run over talking, because you can always shorten it up later.
7.) To do the narration, go to Tools-Narrate Timeline. Click the spot in your movie where you want to start, and hit the "start narration" button. Obviously, you need a microphone for this part; I use a headset with a microphone on it so I can hear myself talk.
8.) When done, hit "stop narration", and it will prompt you to save your audio file. Once you do that, you can watch your movie with sound. I do final adjustments to photo lengths and/or credits, and then save it.
There are a lot of steps, but it isn't too difficult. I already had my photos on my computer anyway, so it was easy to import them, and start.
I hope that helps- let me know if there is anything more I can answer.
