# How to Make a Slideshow With Music

Turn a collection of photos into a slideshow with a song.

[**Create your event**](https://ownpix.app/#pricing)

Guests can share from their browser, with no app to download.

Make your slideshow

- Collect photos
- Choose a story
- Add music
- Export and test

## The short answer

Choose your photos, arrange them into a short story, then add music in a video editor. Check that your music license allows the way you plan to show or share the video.

## A simple plan

### **Collect photos**

Ask friends to share their favorites in one place.

### **Choose a story**

Arrange the pictures in a meaningful order.

### **Add music**

Use a track licensed for your intended use.

### **Export and test**

Play the finished video on the actual screen.

## Plan the timing

| **Song length** | **About 5 seconds per photo** | **About 7 seconds per photo** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 2 minutes | 24 photos | 17 photos |
| 3 minutes | 36 photos | 26 photos |
| 4 minutes | 48 photos | 34 photos |

These are starting estimates; titles, clips and transitions change the final count. Pick fewer photos if you want people to linger on each moment.

## Make the finished video

Import the photos into a video editor, place them in order, add your track, adjust each image’s duration, then export. Check your music license for the venue and any online sharing. [**YouTube’s copyright guidance**](https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/2797466) explains options for music used in videos.

A live event slideshow and an edited video are different: OwnPix can display guest uploads live on eligible plans; use a separate editor to create a finished video with music.

## How OwnPix helps

OwnPix helps you collect guest photos before you make a slideshow. Eligible plans can also show guest uploads live during the event.
