Can I expand a "movie" template in Photostory 2015?

I really like the look and feel of a pre-made movie template in Photostory 2015 for a slideshow I am preparing (I think it's called "Good Old Times"), the problem is I don't seem able to add more photos to it other than the 6 or 7 included in the template. I would also ask to manipulate the photos within the template (by zooming in and stuff) but, again, those functions seem to be unavailable within these templates, basically it seems you are only able to add photos to it and change the text on the pre-made titles. Is there a way to manipulate these templates, or to move/export them to a regular slideshow for additional photos and effects?


Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I don't have PhotoStory 2015, only 2013. It's possible that Magix did the same thing in PhotoStory as it did with Movie Edit Pro 2015 - block access to the timeline for editing movie templates.

Make your way through this discussion. There is a workaround shortcut that might also work in PhotoStory.

Thank you John, I'll give it a shot and report back. Yep, unfortunately there is no timeline tab in Photostory 2015 when you open a movie template.

I have tried twice to install the title templates. The templates do not show up only Manual.
