1) First things first! If this is the first time that you are using Photostory, then you

are going to check off the dot labeled, “Begin a New Story” and click NEXT

If you are continuing a project from a previous date, select “Edit a Project” and

click NEXT.

Make sure you know WHERE you saved the Photstory project from the previous

time. You SHOULD have saved it under your STUDENT DRIVE (i.e. james-

gorcesky on bmfsasdlkjsdflkj, click on that and then look under the

“Administrator’s Videos” folder.

2) You are

going to

IMPORT

pictures that

you have

saved under

the MY PIC-

TURES

folder under

your name.

3) Find your

pictures that

you have saved.

You can just

CLICK AND

DRAG to high-

light a bunch of

pictures or

press CTRL + A

to Select All.

4) You can

click on a pic-

ture in a your

timeline and

drag it to the

order you

want.

You can also

click on a pic

to delete it

5) You can also

EDIT the pic-

tures to remove

the red eye

level, rotate a

picture or hit

“EDIT” and you

will be able to

add a digital

effect.

6) Click on “ADD EFFECT”

This will open up a new

drop down menu with a

variety of filters on it

Once you find a filter you

like, click “SAVE.” You can

also go onto another pic

and repeat. CLICK

CLOSE

7) Whatever you type in here, it will

appear on the picture.

If you click on the “A” button, you

can change the Font Size, Style and

Color. Since these will appear on the

TV, I recommend a size 24 font.

Hit these buttons to move your font

to the Left, Right, Centered, Top,

Middle or Bottom. CLICK NEXT

8) Click on “Customize Mo-

tion” to make transitions.

Then, click on the TRAN-

SITION tab up top.

A series of transitions will

open up. Pick one to go

from one pic to the next.

Then hit NEXT and CLOSE

9) If you would like to record a Nar-

ration per picture in your timeline,

just click on the red recording dot.

I would also recommend that you

click on the microphone icon and

make sure your recording levels are

up. You can also type some notes in

this box so that you know WHAT

exactly you recorded. NEXT

10) The last production step is adding music, and

we have a few options to do it.

MAKE SURE YOU SELECT THE 1st pic in your

timeline then one of these options:

If you hit “SELECT MUSIC” locate a MP3 file on

your computer (it CAN NOT have any words in it)

If you hit “CREATE MUSIC” then you will….

11) Under CREATE

MUSIC, Photostory

has some pre-made

music files that you

can manipulate.

Select your Genre, Style,

Band and Mood based

on your performance.

You can also adjust the

Tempo and the Intensity.

Press the “Play” button for a

quick preview; if you like

what you have made, click

on “OK” and then NEXT

You can click on another picture on

a timeline and do the same process

to have more than one song. (Notice

the two different color lines for the

music files above the timeline)

12) And now, for one of the most important part is

turning this project into a movie. First, make sure

that you click on the first option for “PLAYBACK on

a Computer. Then click on BROWSE and save it to

my folder on the T; drive under Mr. G’s projects and

then NEXT. FINALLY, after it completes rendering,

hit “VIEW YOUR PROJECT” and you will see what

your completed project looks like in a Windows Me-

dia Player file.
