I have PhotoStory 2014 deluxe. I want to make a video with moving backgrounds and photos on top of it along with text. Is there someone who can tell me how to do that?

I would like to make a book trailer and use moving backgrounds. The question is how to insert photos into the moving background along with text? I have managed to get the photo inserted into the moving background but when it plays, the moving background fades, the photo appears and the background doesn't return.

Hi

To do this you need to be in Timeline mode.

Put the background video on the top track - the pictures go on any other track(s), depending on how you want to arrange them.

Unfortunately you are limited in the number of tracks you have available so some complex picture in picture designs are not possible.

If you want more tracks and complex picture in picture then consider moving up to Movie Edit Pro.

You will also find more information in the installed pdf manual available under Help.

John,

I see that they have movie templates and have the background moving and photos inside them. How is that done because it is exactly what I want do to.

 

Thanks.
