Task #3- Sequencing Your Movie

Now that you have located and imported your media to the Movie Maker program its time to arrange the sequence of your movie. You should see all 5 of your images in the collection pane. In this task we will learn how to create a storyboard and adjust the length of time each frame in your movie.

    -Note:  Pictures are automatically given 5 seconds of screen time when added to the storyboard but can be adjusted to any length of time you want. Videos can not be adjusted.

Arranging your Media on the Timeline:

Choose the Egyptian images you would like to begin your movie with
Clink and hold the clip in the collections window and drag it down to the storyboard
You should now see your media in the timeline/storyboard pane at the bottom of the screen
repeat the process for the 4 remaining images

Adjusting the Screen Time for your Media:

To adjust the length of screen time for each image you need to toggle to the timeline view. This will allow you to adjust the speed at which each image apears on the screen

In the left corner of the storyboard pane click on "storyboard" and then click on "timeline"
Now you can agjust each clips length by clicking and dragging to the left or right (to shorten of enlongate)
Click on the first clip and drag it to the right until it reaches the 10 second mark
Repeat these steps until all of your media is ordered and adjusted in the timeline
Your movie should now be 50 seconds long

    -note: you can view the current status of your movie any time in the display pane in the upper right corner of the screen
