#Microsoft photostory 3.0 how to#

You can bring your pictures into iMovie two ways. If you want your project to be a standard video format, I suggest you select a Standard (4:3) aspect ratio. The idea is to zoom in on certain parts of the picture and only reveal the entire photograph at the end. The other is a photo of Millard Fillmore that I plan to use several times. One is a blank slide that I will use a background for my titles. Before starting this project I collected two pictures and placed them in a folder. Since today is Presidents’ Day, I’m choosing to create a digital riddle about one of our Presidents, Millard Fillmore.

I’ve demonstrated PhotoStory at several workshops and conferences and every time I do someone always asks, “Isn’t this available for Mac?” I understand the shock that Mac users experience when I tell them, “No, it’s only for Windows.” We Mac users are used to having the best, and easiest to use software. Microsoft PhotoStory 3 is a great, simple way for students and teachers to create their own digital stories. For a PDF (printable) version of this blog click here.
