Make a Photo Montage in Sony Vegas
A photo montage is an excellent way to keep your most precious memories while reliving them alongside the soundtrack of your life. You can use a photo montage for special occasions like weddings, graduations or birthdays--or even just to view in the privacy of your own home. With the software programs that are available today, it's become easier than ever to create a photo montage, and Sony Vegas is an excellent program for doing just that.
Instructions
1. Open Sony Vegas on your computer. Select "Options" at the top of the window. Select Preferences from the drop-down menu, and in the separate window that opens up click the "Editing" tab.
2. Change the length of time that each photo will appear in your montage by adjusting the "New Still Image Length (seconds)" and typing the number of seconds you want your photo to stay on the screen. Hit "OK" when finished to confirm.
3. Open your pictures by clicking on the appropriate file in the window located in the lower left-hand side of the screen. Click the "My Pictures" file first if you're not sure where you've stored your pictures. Click and drag the photos into the timeline situated at the top of the window. Rearrange your photos by clicking and dragging them around on the timeline.
4. Add music by clicking "Insert" button at the top of the window and selecting "Audio Track" from the drop-down menu. Click the "Import Media" icon and then look in your music files to find the song you want to add to the montage. Click and drag it from the bottom of the screen onto the timeline where you've inserted the audio track and you now have a music photo montage.
