How to Create a Photo Slideshow using PowerDirector

Here is the step-by-step guide to creating an engaging Slideshow on the PowerDirector. Run it from your phone and follow the below instructions.

Step 1: Create Project

For this project, we’ll choose the 16:9 aspect ratio. Tap the Overlay tab. Then we’ll import in order all the images we’ll need for this project. In this project, we’ll also be using images we created using the Sky Replacement feature in PhotoDirector. This feature is available both on PC and mobile. The images we imported will be added to Overlay track 1.

Step 2: Add Music

Then tap the Media tab to add some background music. Let’s download some music from Shutterstock and add it to the audio track. We’ll adjust the length of our images to sync the beat of the music by dragging the beginning and ends. This is great for highlighting key moments and adding that extra impact.

Step 3: Add Text

Next, let’s add some text to the images. Tap the Overlay tab. For this project, we’ll stick with using default text. But for your project, you can choose text or even motion text to match the tone and feel of your slideshow.

Step 4: Use Keyframes and add moments

Next, we’ll use keyframes to add movement to our images such as rotation, changing positions, and scaling. First, choose the clip you want to add movement to and make sure the clip is selected. Tap the Edit icon and select Transform Keyframe. Move the playhead to the beginning of the clip. Then tap the Keyframe icon to start off our keyframe.

Move the played to the end of the clip. Next, we’ll make the adjustments in the preview window. Tap and hold the bottom right corner and slightly enlarge and rotate the image.

Now let’s preview the movement from start to finish. By using the Transform Keyframe tool, you can rotate images and text like what was just demonstrated. Adding some motion can help turn a static photo into a dynamic image, making the slideshow more engaging and interesting.

Step 5: Create Transition using a color board

Next, let’s try creating a transition using a color board. Tap the Overlay icon, then in the Image tab, find the Color Board icon. Let’s add a white color board to our slideshow. It’ll be automatically placed on the overlay track. First, we’ll adjust the length of the color board to insert between two images. Drag and fill the color board in the preview window. Tap Edit and select Transform Keyframe.

Move the play head to the beginning of the clip and tap to add a keyframe. Move the color board to the bottom of the preview window until it’s entirely hidden. Move the player to the end of the first image till it fills the preview window again. Then move the played to the very end of the color board clip.

In the preview window, move the color board to the very right. With each action we do, a keyframe will automatically be added. With these steps, we’ve created a color board transition moving upwards then to the right. Play around with color boards and transform keyframes to create your own custom color board transitions. Or you can also add in some built-in transitions within the app.

Step 6: Add the sticker

Lastly, let’s give our slideshow a bit more flair with some stickers. We’ll move the play head to where we want to add the sticker. Tap the Overlay icon and tap the Sticker tab. Choose and add the sticker to the slideshow. So the above are all the techniques we used to create this video slideshow. Now it’s your turn to create! Photo slideshows are perfect for any occasion.

Resize the second clip by dragging the bottom right in the preview window. When both clips are perfectly matched, tap Edit and choose Mask.

There are 4 different types of masks to choose from. To make this split-screen effect, we’ll be using Linear.

Select Chroma Key and tap the color picker. In the preview window, tap on the green color as we want to remove it from the clip. Make adjustments with the Range and Denoise slider.

How to use Motion Tracking [Simple Method]

You’re going to learn how to use motion tracking, yes, motion tracking, in Wondershare Filmora 10. Keep reading articles.

Motion Tracking is available in Filmora! Motion Tracking is when you track the movement of something in your video: a person, a hand, or even scenery. Once the movement has been tracked, you can add text or images, or other objects that follow that same movement. We’ve seen motion tracking being used as animations, labels to follow a person, or an object like in gaming, or to hide sensitive content.

I’m going to teach you how you can use motion tracking and Filmora to make someone’s name follow them. You can use this for a character introduction, to track an athlete during a game, or use it as a label for a character in gameplay.

The first thing you need to download and install Filmora Video editor software on your computer or laptop to start motion tracking, it lets you allow a free trial version that can be helpful to understand the interface of the editor. Get it.

How to Track object with text

Now let’s see how it’s done.

First, drag the footage you want to apply motion tracking into your timeline.
Check that the subject you want to track is in the frame for the entire clip.
If they aren’t, trim or cut to make sure that they are in frame.
It’s time to apply motion tracking.
Make sure your playhead is at the beginning of the clip before you start tracking.
The tracking will start wherever your play head is, so anything before it won’t be tracked, so make sure that you have it at the beginning of the clip to have your entire clip tracked.
You can open the motion tracking tool from the icon on the timeline toolbar or by double-clicking your clip and finding motion tracking in the editing menu.
The tracking box will appear in the video preview.
Move and resize it to select the object you want to track.
Once that’s
done, click the “Render effect” button, and Filmora will analyze the footage.

How to add the Object

Now it’s time to add the object you’re going to have to follow the track.

Let’s head over to the title menu. If you don’t want any preset animations on my text, so you will just choose this default title, drag it to the track above the footage, and type in the subject’s name. Next, you need to think about where you want this label to sit in relation to the subject.

You can also drag the edge of it to the timeline so the duration is the same as the footage. Right about there. Now that that’s set up, double-click the footage we’ve applied the tracking to and go back to the motion tracking menu.

There’s a drop-down menu here that will list all the text, images, and other objects available. I’ve only set up one piece of text, so that’s all I’ll see, and I’ll choose that, which will set it to move with the clip we just tracked. I think I want it right above their head and I need to adjust the size. And it was so easy to do!

We’re so excited to see what you guys create with motion tracking. What do you guys have planned? Make sure to send us the link to your video in the comment section below.
