In Photostory 2016 how can photos be resized to fit in movie template frames? Tops of heads don't show and the edit features are very limited. Thanks!

Some photos don't fit completely in movie template frames, even when I match the subject to frame type. (Close up, action, etc.) I've resized the photos, but they still don't fit...tops of heads are cut off, etc. In the slideshow wizard, there is an "adjust" feature but not in the movie templates. Editing features in the movie templates are extremely limited. I'm using an Intel processor PC with Windows 10. The software is Photostory 2016. Thanks!

This would suggest the aspect ratio ( ie the ratio of width to height ) of the images do not match what is required by the template.

For example the images are 4:3 or 5:4 and they are being cropped to 16:9.

If you switch to Timeline mode - see image below - and select the images you should then be able to adjust them using Effects, View / Animation, Size/position or Section
