Creating Your Own Project
To begin a new Photo Story, we will import and arrange our images in a logical order on a timeline. Then, we will edit and crop the pictures to emphasize various aspects we want to show in our movie. We will add effects, transitions, motion, and our own voice narration. We will learn how to add music from a file or create our own custom music selection for the underlying audio track. Finally, we will export our Photo Story in Windows Media File format so that others might view our finished project.
