Creating video recordings is not only the lot of professional videographers and directors, but also ordinary computer users who would like to create memorable clips or videos with the participation of themselves and their friends, as well as video presentations, collections of photos in video format, and much more. If you do not have specific experience with video processing programs, the simple and accessible Windows Movie Maker program, which is on any computer, is for you.
Instructions
Step 1
Create a folder on your computer and place in it all the elements of the future video - photos, frames, videos, drawings, sound tracks for music. Open Movie Maker and take a look at the menu items.
Step 2
Select the "Import sound or music" item and, having specified the path to the above folder, select the sound files with which you want to sound your video. Drag the downloaded tracks to the bottom panel of the timeline.
Step 3
After downloading the music, select the "Import Images" item from the menu and load all those pictures and photos with which you are going to intersperse the video frames. The downloaded photos will appear in the main window of the program, and you must manually transfer each of them to their place in the timeline. Subsequently, the order and location of the photos can be changed.
Step 4
And finally, select the "Import Video" item from the menu - also transfer the downloaded video files to the timeline manually from the collection folder in which they were after import.
Step 5
Arrange the video files and photos on the timeline scale so that they go in the desired order, and in the settings specify the display time for each photo - for example, 5 seconds. On the bottom scale, arrange the music so that it matches the intended frames. At any time, you can stretch the display time of the picture or vice versa, compress it, and also cut out the bad frame and load a new one.
Step 6
Finally, decide on the order of the photos and videos in the video, as well as the location of the music on the voice acting scale. After that, go directly to editing - between photos and video clips, you can set various transition effects that you will find in the program settings. These effects can be as simple as fading in a frame, or complex.
Step 7
After setting beautiful transitions between all the elements of the video, click the Play button in the preview window to see how the selected effects look in the finished video. Change the effects, add the ones you like and remove the unsuccessful ones by dragging the effects from the control panel onto the scale manually.
Step 8
Keep track of the timeline - correlate the playback time of the video with the time of your music track.
Finish editing the clip by creating a title and titles in the appropriate section of the program. Save the video in wmv or avi format.
