2: Upload your photos
You can import your photos from your computer or your mobile device, and directly from sites like Google Drive, Dropbox, Facebook, Instagram and more. If you’re on a mobile device, upload your photos using the WeVideo app for iPhone or Android, then continue editing with our full-featured web app on your laptop or desktop.
3: Add motion with animation
Our video editor offers tons of customization options for your Halloween slideshow. One way to easily add motion to your photos is to use the Ken Burns Effect, where panning and zooming create the effect of a camera recording video footage. Just drag and drop your photos to the timeline. You’ll have the option to add Ken Burns Effect animation to all of your photos or individually.
4: Add text with motion titles
Choose from Halloween titles (ghosts, zombies, bats, oh my!) or from a wide range of others that let you add single and multiple lines of text.
5. Set it all to music
Every WeVideo account includes a library of premium music for you to use. If you have a Professional or Business subscription, you can search and use over 1 million pieces of commercial stock media, including licensed music.
6: Export and share
Congrats, ghouls and gals… your Halloween slideshow is complete! Choose your final resolution and export directly to Google Drive, YouTube and more. You’ll also be able to share your video page link, embed your video directly into your website, download the file, or share to social media.
