can't tell that pictures have been used in the collection

[babs]

I am trying to make a graduation video for my son and have 600 pictures
scanned. I also have the songs that I want. I pulled around 20 pictures
down and tied them to a song. I works great - but I can't tell in the top
collection area which ones have been used. I don't want to use them more
than once. What am I missing???

Any tips on neat ways to do a photo/song movie and look cool and different??

Thanks,
Barb

Windows Photo Story has some nice features that sometimes give a cooler end
result than Movie Maker.

===========================
After you drag a picture to the timeline...
right click / delete that picture in the
collection screen. (they'll still be on the
timeline)

How about a StarWars style title?

Go to...Tools / Titles and Credits /
choose where you want the title..."Title
at the beginning" for example...

Now click..."Change the title animation"
and choose...Scroll Perspective...

Now click...Edit the title text...

Enter your text.

Done - Add title to movie.
