Multimedia is all around us. All of us, the creatively inclined and the not so creative, love to put together YouTube videos and photo slideshows. The obstacle is often the complexity of some tools (and of course the cost) like Adobe Premiere, Camtasia and Wondershare etc. Windows Movie Maker has long been a tool for newbies. The remastered Windows Live Movie Maker, available with a free Windows Live download, is a tool that beginners can consider.
But if you are looking for an alternative free video maker and slideshow maker for Windows, look no further than Ezvid.

Use Ezvid to show videos
One of the easier ways to get started using Ezvid is to create video slideshows from images. Ezvid doesn’t have screen capture features (promised in next version), so try Ezvid with stills. One of the ways you can use Ezvid is to create a video slideshow of your holiday, wedding photos, or turn a PowerPoint presentation into a video that anyone on YouTube can conveniently watch.
Key features of Ezvid are explained through seven videos on the landing page itself. But here is the process in a nutshell:
1. Drag the photo (still image and also video) you want to use for the video slideshow from a folder to the timeline. You can also use Add photos or videos to browse to directories and include them in Ezvid. Ezvid accepts a variety of image formats (PNG, JPEG, and BMP) and video, such as gameplay videos from software like fraps, Camtasia, and Hypercam.
2. You can drag a picture on the timeline to change the duration of each slide.
3. You can add text to your slideshow – choose your design font, text format and background color from the drop-down list. Text can be inserted in the center of your media anywhere on the slide.
4. User can record his voice through computer microphone and play it back along with video. For background sound effects, Ezvid gives you a library of over 40 YouTube-legal tracks from the Aalborg Soundtrack and 009 Sound System. You can preview the music by hovering over it before inserting it into the timeline.
5. Title, description, keywords and categories are some of the finishing touches to getting your Ezvid slideshow ready on YouTube.
All that’s left to do is click upload to YouTube button.
pack it up
Ezvid syncs well with YouTube. You can’t upload videos longer than ten minutes because the same limit exists for most users on YouTube. There are some limitations like you cannot include your own tracks due to copyright concerns. You also cannot save the video slideshow locally or export it in another format.
Ezvid is meant to be a quick and easy YouTube video slideshow packer. Does it work for you? Download Ezvid (version 0.7.5.1) and let us know.
