[Equilibrium]

Alright guys I am turning to you my trusted friends, yet again, for some help. Now I have been a part of this community long enough to get some serious help.

I am making a slideshow, using windows movie maker, I've got a bunch of videos, music, pictures, and other things that I am combining to make a complete show of my freshman year of college.

Here's where you guys come in, I know how to edit things together and I know how to use windows movie maker to its fullest extent. But, I need some help in terms of ideas. What are some good sites with some cool things to put into the show..such as pictures funny, or videos. Also I just need cool tools or something to spice up the video.

So tell me what ya got peoples!

ok firstly it depends on the version you have

if your screen looks like this one then there are lots of features you can use to edit your work. If you have a different looking screen then ill be of no use to ya.

it is the default standard that comes with windows..so yes its the same as the one you're talking about.

K for starters you need your movie in the right order you want it...got it? Good

Secondly you might want to think about the music or narration you plan on having on it

Thirdly open up your movie file and right click on one of the clips, click on video effects. Here you will find a whole list of effects to change your selected clip. Play around with them, mix 2 together and see what you find. Once you've found one you like see how it will look when used in your movie and maybe how the effect will look on other clips too.

Number 1 rule you must remember, try not to use effects just because you can. Overloading a movie is a big mistake because if done incorrectly it make just make your film look rubbish. Use an effect because it looks good and compliments your movie not just because it's there.
