It's nice to share with your friends photos taken during your vacation. True, not all friends in one sitting will overcome a photo album, consisting of two hundred pictures. However, there is a way out. Choose the most interesting photos and edit videos from them. For this, Movie Maker is fine.

Instructions
Step 1
Import photos into Movie Maker. To do this, select the images that you are going to use in your video into one folder. Click on the "Import images" command in the left part of the program window. In the explorer that opens, select the photos you want and click on the "Open" button.
Step 2
Import sound. To do this, click on the "Import sound or music" command. In the window that opens, select the required file and click on the "Open" button.
Step 3
Write the title of the movie that appears at the very beginning of the video. To do this, click on the arrow to the right of the "Film Editing" item. In the list that opens, select the "Create Titles and Titles" command. Select the Add Title Before Movie command. In the window that opens, enter a name and select the type of animation and font for it. This can be done using the commands below the text entry field. Click on the "Finish, Insert Title Into Movie" command.
Step 4
Drag the sound file with the mouse to the timeline at the bottom of the program window. Start playback with the button under the player window located on the right side of the program window. Check how the appearance of the name of the future video on the screen correlates with the sound. If necessary, increase the duration of the title clip. This can be done by dragging the right edge of the clip to the right while holding down the left mouse button.
Step 5
Add photos one at a time to the timeline by dragging and dropping them. Check the result in the player window. If you want, you can change the duration of the photo clip by dragging its right edge while holding down the left mouse button.
Step 6
Add ending credits. To do this, use the Create Titles and Titles command again. In the window that opens, select the "Add titles at the end of the movie" command. In the window that opens, enter the text, select the animation type and font for it. Click Finish Add Title To Movie.
Step 7
Add transitions between clips. To do this, switch the timeline to Storyboard Display mode using the button above the timeline. In the left part of the program window, click on the "View video transitions" command. The video transition icons will appear in the central part of the window. With the transition selected, you can see how it looks in the player. Insert the transition you like between the photos by dragging its icon with the mouse on the rectangle between the two photos.

Step 10
Save the project using the "Save Project" command of the "File" menu. The result is an MSWMM file. This is not a video, this is a set of links to the files used and a list of operations performed with them. If you need to edit the video you are creating now, open the project file and make the necessary changes: remove or add effects, transitions, sound.
Step 11
Save the movie. To do this, click on the arrow to the right of the "Finish movie creation" item. In the list that opens, select "Save to computer". In the window that opens, enter a file name and select a location on your hard drive where the video file will be saved. Click "Next". Select the options for the file to be saved. Click "Next".
