Hello, friends! In this article, we will figure out how to make a slideshow of photos with music. I read a comment a week ago.

Hello Anton. Help is needed. My grandson is in 4th grade - graduation. Make a photo slideshow with music. Class order. I rummaged through the Internet - there are programs but either paid (PhotoSHOW) or in English (ProShow Producer.) Or they are not suitable for my W-7 (Windows Movie Maker). As you know, I (retired) is not so strong in this matter. Can you please tell me how to accomplish this. Thanks in advance. Gennady.

Since I swim in this topic myself, we will figure it out together. Hope we get to graduation.

In the Movie Maker program, which, if not bundled with Windows 7, can be installed for free, you can not only edit videos, but also create slide shows.

For example, you need the music to start playing from 2 seconds of the slide show, set the desired time in the “Start Time” section.

There is no need to worry about the end time of the music file. The music will end when the last slide ends.

You can select the desired save format from the drop-down list. If you will show this slide show on a computer or on a projector, you can choose Recommended for this project or Monitor with high resolution — which is basically the same thing. If you want to get more compact slideshow sizes, you can select "Computer". When you hover over the type of save, a pop-up window will show the size of the slideshow.

Waiting for your movie to be saved and watching.

If you like everything, you can close the Film Studio. If necessary, save the project file

Project file is a tiny file that records what files are being used and what effects have been applied to them. If you later want to change something in your slide show (for example, you made a draft version and want to show it to the teacher, and then correct and finalize it), it makes sense to save the project.

It's been a long journey of creating slideshows. If you need faster, you can already use ready theme. Add your photos and music, on the "Home" tab in the "Autofilm Themes" section, choose one of the suggested

You can change anything, or you can leave everything as it is. As a result, you will have a ready slideshow in 2 minutes.

Slide show -

Picasa is a free program in Russian from Google with which you can also, if not easier, create a slideshow. To download it, write to Google "Picasa" and follow the first link

Click

The picasa39-setup.exe file will load. Let's launch it. In the Security Warnings window, click Run

We accept the license agreement

Click Install

I don’t need a shortcut on the desktop and in the quick launch panel, so I uncheck these boxes and click Ready

Picasa launches and prompts you to find all the photos on your computer. Select the desired item and click Continue

We are then prompted to associate Picasa to view various default formats. That is, when you launch a file, for example JPG, the latter will open in Picasa. I've never used Picasa - I'll give it a try. Moreover, at any time you can set your associations

We are waiting for the photo search to end. We find photos for the slideshow and select them as in Explorer (Windows Ctrl + A - select everything or what you need with Ctrl and Shift)

Click Create a presentation film

Go directly to the tab Slide and customize the first page of the slideshow. Here you can choose the type and size of the font, style, background color, the template you like and change the inscription itself.

All changes can be viewed immediately by launching the slide show with the key

Back to tab Movie and using the button add an audio track to the slideshow

In the section that appears Options you can choose from the following options:

  • - so that the music plays only while the slides are shown
  • Customize photo display according to audio track- in this case, the duration of the display of each photo will increase so that they are displayed evenly throughout the entire sound of the audio
  • Create a musical film- the duration of the photo display will remain the same and they will be repeated in a circle until the sound track ends

I need to trim the audio for a slideshow.

Set the remaining parameters of the slide show: transition style (choose one from the drop-down list), slide duration, overlay and resolution.

Select the transition style Float. Reduce the overlay to 10%. I set the maximum resolution - 1920 × 1080

Slides can be moved by holding the left mouse button and releasing anywhere. By calling the context menu on a slide, you can delete it or insert a text slide

When all settings are done, click Create a movie

When making a movie, my distributed computing is paused, so the load on the processor is decent.

When finished, the slide show will automatically play.

At this stage, we can trim the resulting film from the beginning and / or from the end by moving the corresponding limiters with the mouse.

When we like everything we press Export clip. The finished slide show is saved by default in the directory

C:\Users\Anton\Pictures\Picasa\Exported video

Slide show online

When setting up a slide show, we immediately get into a simple editor. For more advanced customization features of our video, click Advanced Editor and in the pop-up window click Leave this page

There are more settings in the advanced editor. I will try to show some of the nicknames in the video below.

The only negative in YouTube is that it was not possible to set your own melody. If anyone knows how to do this, please write in the comments.

Conclusion

In this article, we figured out how to quickly and easily create a photo slideshow with music in three ways. In various cases, it is more convenient to use different ways. If you need to have a certain melody, then it is better to use Movie Maker or Picasa. If the music is any, then you can make a slide show online using YouTube.

I would like to note that all three methods allow you to quickly create a decent slide show with minimal effort.

To do this, you need to collect all the photos in one folder, and in PowerPoint select in tab Insert command Photo album .

After that, in a new window, click the button File or disk , find your pictures on the computer, and select them using the keys Shift or ctrl. Then press the button Insert .

A list of pictures appears in the field Drawings in the album . By highlighting one of the names of the pictures, you can move it down, up or delete it. Right, in the window View, You can see how it all will look.

Below is a drop down list Drawing layout . In this list you can choose various options placement of pictures on slides. The default option is Fit to slide , but there are other possibilities. If you choose other options, on the left, under the button Create an inscription , the drawing parameters become active:

  • Captions for all drawings .
  • All drawings are black and white .

We are more interested in the first parameter. If we check the box in front of it, then captions will appear under all the pictures in the slide show. By default, these will be the file names of the drawings without extensions. They can be renamed already in the presentation itself, or you can initially name the files as we want to see the signatures. Then you won't need to rename anything. After selecting all the options, press the button Create, and the slide show will be created.

In the future, you can edit it as you need, add , adjust the background.

Now let's look at another possibility. Did you know that in PowerPoint 2007 using the command Create you can create not only an empty presentation, but also choose a ready-made template if you go to the item Background slides .

For example, you choose some space design, and now you want to apply the command to the presentation Insert - Photo Album . Unfortunately, in this case, the selected design is lost.

What to do? There is a way around this injustice. First, create two presentations: one empty but with a design, the second with a photo album, but without a design. Select all the slides in the left column of the second presentation, and copy with the right mouse button. Then put the cursor in the left column of the first presentation, right-click, and select the command Insert. The photo album slides will now take on the design of the first presentation. The second presentation can now be deleted and the first one can be saved.

Now let's deal with inserting sound into our slide show. In order for pleasant music to play while viewing the slide show, select the first slide, select in the tab Insert command Sound, then find your sound file on the computer, and press the button in the window that appears Automatically .

A speaker icon appears on the slide.

Select this icon and go to the tab Options that appears when selected. In this tab, check the box next to the command Hide on show so that the icon is not visible when viewing.

In drop down list Sound playback select an option For all slides . Also check the box next to continuously so that the music plays without interruption. If this checkbox is not checked, the music will start over every time you change the slide.

That's all, the sound design for the slide show has been created. To change the slides not on click, but at certain intervals, go to the tab Animation, and check the box next to the command Automatic after . After that, select the time during which each slide will be shown, and press the button Apply to all .

On the tab Animation there is also the possibility of inserting sound: you can insert pre-prepared sound patterns that will be emitted when changing slides, for example, a click or drumroll. You can choose an option Another sound, and find the sound on the computer, but here you can only insert sound in the format wav .

One more thing - the time of showing each slide can be different, and you can set it yourself, depending on what you will say. To set the time, go to the tab Screen Sharing and press the button Setting up the demo . Then press OK and, speaking the presentation, manually change the slides. The delay time of each slide will be saved, and then, with automatic replacement, the slides will change in accordance with exactly the time that you set.

Now all that's left is to save the presentation. You can save it like a regular PowerPoint 2007 file in the format .pptx, or you can choose by clicking on the button Office - Save As - PowerPoint Demo . In this case, the file will be saved in . ppsx, and will be for display purposes only. You cannot edit such files.
