Video Editing Question

Question

In a video I saw on you tube it wasn't actually a video but just a static picture throughout the entire thing with the audio playing on...I have my mp3 file....how do I do that?

Answer 1

It is very easy what you want to do:

>> Open Windows Movie Maker. (Start>>All Programs or search in My Computer)

>> After you have opened it, go to File>Import into collections.

>> Import the picutre

>> Then, make sure the Timeline at the bottom is visible. Press Ctrl+T if not.

>> Drag the Picture onto the timeline in the VIDEO section of the timeline. VIDEO section, remember.

>> Zoom in with the small button in the Timeline. When you can see the small pic thumbnail, extend it towards right for a good bit. Keep your mouse on the rear of that thumbnail to extend.

>> Next, import the mp3 file.

>> Drag, it to the AUDIO section of the timeline.

>> Make sure you place it right at the start. You can left click on it and drag left or right.

>> Now, select the pic thumbnail and extend it more than the song is. It would be better if you extend the picture exactly till the audio ends.

>> Next, click on File>Save Movie File or Publish Movie (Vista).

>> Select the next options as per your wish. Leave them at default if you don't understand one.

>> In the end you will have your static image movie with a song in the background movie.

Hope this helped.
