3. Add Photos

Drag and drop your photos and videos into the photo section along the bottom. You can re-order the photos within this section by dragging them along the line to drop them into position. Continue adding further images until you are satisfied.

4. Add Music

To add music, drag one or more sound files to the music section along the bottom. Alternatively you can click the clef button in the bottom left corner of the audio bin to create a music soundtrack in ScoreFitter. As media are added, the total running time of the source material is displayed in the top-left corner of the bin. This is not necessarily the length of the resulting movie.

Add Media

5. Make Adjustments

Along the right hand side, you can change the Clip Length (duration) of each clip and select whether you want to add a Pan & Zoom to your media to give your slideshow some motion.

6. Preview, edit and export

Once you're happy with the setup of your slideshow, select Preview on the footer bar below the tool. The project is created and presented in a preview window. If necessary, you can return to the settings to modify your media selections. When you click the Preview button, the media you have chosen are automatically saved in a Collection named Latest Smart Creation. If you expect to make further use of this grouping of assets, rename the Collection to prevent it being overwritten the next time you look at a SmartMovie preview.
