Make a video slide show in ubuntu

Jump to Comments

I was browing songs on youtube and noticed one of my all time favorites wasn’t posted yet.

So I started looking online on how to make a video slideshow, and  it kind of surprised me that I didn’t find any easy ways of doing this.

I looked in add/remove and the first program I tried did the trick.

The program is called “open movie editor”.

It’s no looker but it does the job and is very easy to use.

If you click on the screenshot, you’ll see that there is an “media browser” tab.

From there you can navigate to the folder on your hdd and you can drag pictures in the “video” bar in the bottom and audio files to the “audio” bar.

Then you go to “project -> render” and select a format to save as. I had some problems choosing another codec besides the quicktime codec.

I easily converted it to mp4 with pytube media converter.

I uploaded the video (with my dubious music taste) to youtube. I only used one picture out of sheer laziness to hunt down relevant pictures.

For the ones interested, you can find it here.
