Use a Youtube Video for Marketing - Details and Example

For this beach rental property I made a video out of the property photos by using Windows Movie Maker. I imported the photos into Movie Maker and dragged them to the timeline. Then I imported some scenic photos of the surrounding area. To add clips with just text you just click on a photo, click on Tools, choose Titles and Credits, then choose "before clip" or wherever you want to put the text. Then add your text. The result is a video to market this beach rental property. Use search terms in the description to help youtubers find it. You can also add the url link to a craigslist ad or to a website or blog.

Windows Movie Maker and Picasa - How to Make an Unusual Video - Steps Below

1- First use Picasa to make the photo collages. 

Click on pictures for a collage, click the green "Hold" button at the bottom of the screen to hold them in the "Tray."

Click the "Collage" button, in the middle of the bottom of the screen.

Click "Settings" on the left of the screen and try different types of collages.  Below the collage prevew screen click "Shuffle" to move the photos. 

Experiment with all the ways you can format the photos - picture piles, grids, borders, backgrounds.

Click "Create Collage" when you see one you like and save it to the desktop or your "Collage" album in Picasa.

2- Import the collages into Windows Movie Maker by Clicking "Import Media" and browsing

Drag the collages to the "Storyboard" or "Timeline" in the order you wish.

Write out narration notes, and record a voice-over.  If you need to get information on your topic, search the internet.

Play the video and redo the parts you feel you can improve. 

Publish the video on your computer.  Save to the desktop.

3- Go to Youtube, Click on the yellow "Upload" button and as it's uploading fill in the title and description.

The photos were taken with a Panasonic Lumix Digital Camera, 7.2 Megapixel, 6X Optical Zoom, that I bought a year and a half ago on sale.  Since Movie Maker is free, and so is Picasa, it doesn't have to cost a lot to have fun with multimedia. 

Whether you're a student, an adult paying rent or a mortgage, or a retiree trying to keep up with health care costs, it's possible to do this on an economical budget.

Narrate Windows Movie Maker Videos - by Kristi Marie Gott

Click "Tools" and "Narrate Timeline"

The Audio screen will open.  You'll see the "Start Narration" button in the upper right, with the "Stop Narration" button below it.  To the right is the volume control, "Input."

About 2/3 of the way down the screen you'll see where you can click an arrow to choose your Audio device from a drop down box.  I recommend using an external microphone because the sound quality will be so much better.  You plug it into the USB port and your computer detects it and adds it to the audio device choices.

If you are not used to ad libbing you might want to write notes or outline what you plan to say in the narrative.  You don't need to narrate the whole video in one long audio clip. 

You can start and stop and make many smaller narrative clips.  That way if you want to remove some of them and do them over later it's easier. 

Wondering what to say?  If it's a "how to" video you can give the sequence of steps.  You could also report on what is happening at an event - who, what, when, where, why. 

How to Make a Video Using Photos, Music, and Text Overlays - Windows Movie Maker

Here is how to make a 30 second video message to send to your friends and family, using photos.

When you think "video" you think of TV films but you can make a video out of photos from a digital camera.  A camcorder will  shoot moving objects. But, you can put digital photos together with music and text overlays to make a video. and upload it to youtube or any video site.  Then email your friends the URL and when they click on it your new video will play.  Sort of a video greeting card.

First, import the photos into Movie Maker, and import music or add it later from Audioswap on Youtube.  Decide on a message or quotations that you want to use a text on top of the photos.  Drag the photos down to the storyboard, click on a photo, choose "Add titles and credits," and click to choose your preferences.  For text animation in the video below I used "text appears with no motion or fade" as it's easy to read, and the font chosen is "caligraphy." I used copyright free music I bought from http://partnersinrhyme but you can add Youtube's Audioswap music after uploading the video, too.
