Photostage4/9/2023 ![]() Now that I have got all the material I need into that top left hand section I need to take a break (it's getting late!), so have SAVED what I have done so far by clicking on Menu (on the down-arrow). which adds everything in from that top left hand box. With everything I need in that top left hand box, I am now ready to create my Slide Show. mp3 and would expect that to appear at the end of the list. I'm very glad I put those numbers on the various photos/video clips as that will enable me to get everything into my Slide Show in the right order. Note that they are not in numerical order, but in the order I added then, so all the. Highlight them all.Ĭlick on Open and all those videos will be added to your project, and you will now see the below in that top left hand corner of the program. And it'll only show the videos (.mp4), although you know all your pictures are in that folder as well. Once there it will show all the videos in your folder. Again, you will have to find your project FOLDER so it can find the videos you want to include. And yes, they have been put into that top left area ready for you to put into your slideshow. Then click on Open and they will all be put into the project. Click on the first photo, then holding down the SHIFT key, click on the last one. You can click on each one individually and get it into the project, or do them all at once 'in a block'. Now go back to the PhotoStage Slide Show program.Ī box comes up showing your computer/laptop filing system and you have to find the FOLDER where your photos are. but I don't want to do that as it's the music I am making the video for!Ĭontinuing with my ramblings on Creating Videos. With these programs you can usually 'fade out the music' to make it fit the video. If the length of the video part isn't spot on, I can increase/decrease the time a picture shows for (or even remove a picture completely/add another one) and/or speed up/slow down a video clip. So I always make sure I have more video time than the length of the Audio. but I know that putting TRANSITIONS in sometimes slightly overlaps one photo with the next (depending on the Transition), which makes the total time of the video less. This lot would last for about 3min 25secs (assuming I have photos running for 7secs), which is longer than the music. Then all the pictures/videos in my FOLDER will be in the order I want them. Then I choose my second photo/video clip and put 02_ in front of that. ![]() So when I have decided on the first clip I want I highlight the name underneath it and add an 01_ to the front of it, leaving the rest of the file name as it appears. I find it easier to decide in advance, in my FOLDER. Next, you want to decide in what order you want these photos/videos to appear. Video clips show in a folder with 'ratchet' slots down the side (as this one has) and photos show as plain rectangles (as is the one to the right of it). For example, this video clip runs for 14 seconds. and the length appears in the drop-down box. Once you have put a video clip into your FOLDER you can check how long the video lasts by hovering your mouse over it. ![]() When choosing them you are told how long a video clip lasts, which can be anything from 7 seconds to over a minute. Video clips, I download from Pixabay ( ) and of course these vary considerably. Each photo should be displayed for about 7 seconds. When I am doing a video I always create a FOLDER on my laptop, find the pictures and music I want to use for the video and put them into it.įirst, I make a note of the length of my MP3 so I can choose enough photos/video clips to fit the music. Then finally is the bottom section, the Slideshow Timeline, where the pictures and music are actually put. There is a small rectangular 'screen' where the video shows. The top right section is where you watch the video you are creating as you go along. at which point they have automatically been put into the Media Bin as well.) ( Note: Having said that, Ken has been experimenting with this and he says he has managed to 'drag' his files straight from the Folder on his computer onto the Slideshow Timeline. things put into the slideshow have to already be in the program you are using). They have to be put into here first as you cannot put them directly from a folder on your computer into the slideshow (all programs of this type work like this ie. Top left is called the Media Bin, where you put your photos/video clips/mp3 ready to put into your slideshow. You basically have three areas of the screen.
