Steps to Import Pictures

  1. Click on the Capture Video link to open the list of options. In this example we will be using still pictures, music and/or narration to create the movie.

  2. Click on Import pictures and locate the folder containing your pictures.

  3. Select the picture files you wish to import.

Tip - To select several picture files which are listed consecutively, click the first filename in the list, and then while holding the Shift key, click on the last filename in the list. This will select all the files at once to import.

Similarly, to select several files that are not in consecutive order, hold the Ctrl key rather than the Shift key and then click on the different filenames you wish to import.
