These facts are to illustrate how important video content has become in recent years. 

So whether you’re a business owner trying to scale your operations online, an individual looking to improve your status as an influencer, or a major corporation that wants to expand its audience reach, video content is a must-have in today’s digital landscape.

Below, we’re taking a look at how you can use Flixier’s free slideshow video maker to create videos using nothing more than the photos saved on your smartphone. 

Photomotion And Slideshows

When we talk about creating videos using pictures, we mean videos similar to stop-motion videos, which are also referred to as photomotion videos or slideshows. 

Either way, slideshows are a great way to display many photos or images in a short period. 

Plus, when you add other video elements and effects, such as titles, filters, motion graphics, and more, you can create photomotion videos and slideshows that people will have a hard time taking their eyes off.

How To Create A Photomotion Video Or Slideshow

Unlike a traditional video, to create a photomotion video or slideshow, you’ll need a large number of photos or images. 

Photomotion videos are great when explaining how to use a new product or service, covering the events from a recent conference or business event, or even simply displaying all of your pictures from a recent vacation or getaway. 

You can still create a photomotion video or slideshow with a smaller number of images. 

However, you’ll only be displaying your images for a few seconds at most. Therefore, the more photos you use, the longer you’ll be able to make your video. 

Now, let’s take a look at the steps you’ll need to follow to create a photomotion video using Flixier’s online video maker with photos. 

1. Create An Outline

If the goal is to tell a story or explain a concept from start to finish, it’s a good idea to write down and create a basic outline of how you want to structure your video. 

For instance, suppose you’re photos are all from a recent backpacking vacation through Europe. 

In this case, you may want to structure your video with photos from the beginning of your trip first and then follow your travels chronologically until your return flight home. 

Regardless, think of your outline as the chronological structure you’ll want to use for your video. 

It’s not essential to create an outline or plan. But it can help make things easier when putting your video together. 

2. Collate Your Photo Content 

The next step will be to upload your photos and images directly into a music and picture video maker application, such as Flixier. 

Once uploaded, you’ll be able to drag and drop your images to your timeline and arrange them in any chronological order you desire. This is where having an outline comes into play. 

3. Edit And Enhance
