Facebook Slideshow: How to Make a Slideshow on Facebook

• Install VideoStudio video editing software on your PC, download and run the installation file and complete the setup process using the on-screen prompts.
• If you wish to use one of our Instant Project templates, go to your edit workspace and click the Instant Project button to preview the templates that are available. To see how the template will work in a video, click on the thumbnail. This will open it up in the player panel.
• Add the media you wish to use in your slideshow to the program and simply drag and drop the photos in the order in which you want them to appear.
• Select from the transitions available in the transitions library and drag and drop it between each video. You can make each transition the same between each photo by simply highlighting the transition and clicking to apply that transition to the video track.
• Add titles and music and choose from a selection of available effects.
• Once the slideshow appears as you desire, you can go to the expert tab. From there, you have the option to share the video directly to your Facebook page or to export it in a number of different formats to be added to social media at a later time.

It should be noted that there are some considerations that need to be made when it comes to posting a video to Facebook, such as:

• Ensure that the content you have used is your own or obtained permission to use photos or music created by someone else.
• Understand the pros and cons of different video lengths. Facebook allows users to post videos that are up to 240 minutes long. However, most Facebook users do not have the time or interest to watch a video that long on social media. Slideshows provided by small businesses on the social media platform are generally about 15 seconds long, while organic videos (those that are personal and don't involve an advertising spend) are most watched when they are at least 3 minutes long.
• Remember that people are scrolling. Place your best images in front of your production in order to capture their attention as they scroll.
• Remember also that most Facebook users are accessing their pages on mobile devices with the sound off. Optimize your video to present the images in a cohesive and interesting way that tells your story even without sound.
