Making a video

[Shirley Crabtree]

I need to make a short video for a project at uni but am really struggling with the technical side of things. Its basically going to be a selection of photographs running through as a sort of slideshow with a music track playing in the background - the same kind of thing as the video to Heroes in Blue and White.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me how to do this, or recommend any free software that I should download.

Thanks

You can do it with Windows Movie Maker which comes with Windows XP, Vista and presumably 7.

I had read that somewhere but could only find Windows DVD Maker. However, I've now found Movie maker. Thank you for your quick help.

Thanks for telling me about windows movie maker, it was just what I needed. I had to produce a 3 minute campaign video for my media studies class, Anyway, I made my film and thought I'd put a link on here as it is related to LCFC (kind of). I know its not the greatest video, but it was the idea behind the campaign rather than the technical quality of the film that counted!! Well at least I think so.

Haha, to be fair to Dale he did in fact drive to Blackpool in the end, but only for the match.
