The prime objective of creating a slideshow is to breathe life into your static images. Opening them in an image viewer and pressing the next button to browse through them isn't exactly exciting.

Memories are meant to be preserved with a bit more love and care and that's why we turn to solutions like those provided by software like Windows Movie Maker. Now that your images are well formatted in a single video file it's time to add audio to the slideshow as background music.

For this, you will have to add the appropriate audio files into the Collections folder. Click "File I Import into Collections" and add the song[sl that you want from the dialog box. The song file will be displayed among other images in the Collection folder. Click "Show Timeline" to switch to the Timeline mode if the Storyboard view is on.

Click the newly added audio track and drag it down to the Timeline. The audio track will be added below the collage of images that form the Timeline.

ADJUSTING AUDIO TRACKS:

The duration of the audio track can be adjusted according to the length of the movie. Simply place your mouse pointer at the far end of the audio file in the Timeline till it appears as a red bidirectional arrow. Click and drag this arrow inward, till it is parallel with the end of the list of enqueued images. You can add multiple audio tracks to the Timeline which can be adjusted using this technique.
