How do I do a reveal video? Please help!

[CAROLINE4]

Hi all I would love to do a reveal video for my kids using all our photos and some parade music as I have seen some really great emotional ones posted on here. The trouble is I have no idea how to make one?

If anyone can direct me in the correct direction as in do I use PowerPoint, photostory etc I would be soooo grateful!

Hope all you lovely dissers can help this computer illiterate lady! Xx

Hi Caroline.

We used Windows Live Movie Maker. i found that to be the easiest. We did use Power Point to do one or 2 things to add to our reveal DVD. (We reveal this weekend!!!)

You can download some clips or music from youtube, add written text etc. Any help you need, just ask

Hi,

I used Windows Movie Maker for my video. It really is very easy to use.

First make sure your Florida photo's are saved to your computer.

When you go into Movie maker you need to look at headings under IMPORT. You will need to choose pictures and you can then select which photo's you want in your video.

Underneath you will see a timeline. Once you have imported your pictures you can drag them onto the timeline. Under edit you will see transitions and effects you can click on these and see what they do. If you like the effect you can insert it between photo's.

The same for headings and titles to. You will see the option to choose on the left and write what you want.

You can do exactly the same with music. You can import it as you did photo's but you need to have everything you want to import saved to your computer.

Honestly its not hard. I am no expert at all at this. If I can do it you can do it.

I cant wait to see what you come up with
