Install VideoStudio

To install VideoStudio video editing software on your PC, download and run the installation file above. Continue following on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.
Add media to timeline

Drag and drop your photos to the timeline in the order you wish them to appear in your slideshow.
Add transitions between media

Next you want to add a transition between each photo. Open the transitions library and choose your transition. Once you find the transition you want, drag and drop it between two clips on the timeline. If you wish to add the same transition between all clips, if you want to apply the same transition between all clips in the track, right-click the transition thumbnail in the library, and choose Apply current effect to video track. If you want all transitions to be unique, you can drag individual transitions or select the transition titled “random”. This will add a different transition between each clip.
Add titles, music and effects

Now that your video slideshow is complete, you can add titles, music and any other effect you desire.
Save and share

When you are done, go to the export tab to share directly to your Facebook or YouTube channel, or export to popular formats.
