#DIGITAL PHOTOSTORY MOVIE#
There is a big distinction between a PhotoStory file and the movie file (.wmv) The last step of creating a digital story with Microsoft PhotoStory is to save the project file as a movie file. Just experiment with the settings and preview the melody before adding it to your story.
You can also create your own music within PhotoStory. You will only be able to import music files from your computer that are in the. It can set the tone and mood and even take the place of narrated words. Save any changes to each image by pushing the "Save" button. To continue adding transitions between each picture, click on the "Transition" tab.Ĭlick on each transition to see a preview of it on the middle window. Save each picture, after you have added motion. If your zooming or panning motion is too fast for your taste and does not allow for enough time to appreciate the image, you can set the timing of the length of the slide manually. To pan from left to right (top to bottom), position the starting area on the left (top)and the ending (bottom) position on the right. For a zooming in effect do the opposite.įor panning across the image, make the areas to start and end the same size just position them at opposite ends of the image. If you want to zoom out, make the starting position rectangle smaller than the ending position. Then drag the corners of the starting position to an area you want the motion to start out in. When trying to achieve the zooming in or zooming out motions, make sure you have checked off the box "Specify start and end position of customized motion". The second motion that can be added to your story are transitions between each one of your pictures. The first motion will have the effect as if a video camera is recording your image by zooming in or out, or by panning across the image. Once you are happy with all your narration, you can add "Custom Motion" to each image. If you do not like the recording just delete it. Push the "Preview" button to hear your recording. Push the round button with the red circle to start recording and the smaller button with the square to stop. Make sure that you have a microphone attached and have the image selected that you will connect the recording to. Once all the text slides that you want to incorporate into your movie are in place, click "Next" to move on to narrating and recording your story. In order to create a blank or a colored slide for a title at the beginning, chapter slides in the middle or credits at the end, you can upload a plain colored image or appropriate background to be used with text. Here you will have a chance to add the same effects as in the previous step and to add any text to any picture. Repeat this step until all your pictures are in the correct order.Īfter saving each image (by clicking on the "Save" button) that you edited, you are ready to move on to “Add a title to your pictures†by clicking "Next". Simply click on an image in the timeline and drag it to the position you want it. Then it is time to arrange the pictures in order you want them to appear in your story. You then have the choice of removing any black borders that are present due to the layout and dimensions of your pictures.
