Things you need to prepare:

1. Christmas Video materials: choose the photos from your storage and arrange them in order; get some Christmas songs as background music; add a few pieces of video clips to make the Christmas gift lovely; prepare Christmas PowerPoint templates.

2. Christmas Video tools: Microsoft PowerPoint (any version), Moyea PPT to Video Converter.

First Make Christmas PowerPoint Slideshow:

1. Launch PowerPoint, and apply the Christmas PowerPoint template by clicking “Design” → “Themes” group → “Browse for Themes”. By using a ready-made PowerPoint template, it will save you time and enhance the Christmas senses.

2. Insert photo to the slide by clicking “Insert” → “Picture” → select a photo from the folder. Then select the photo and click “Format” tab on the ribbon where you can set the corrections, color, artistic effects, picture style, etc. If you want to set the photo as background picture, “Send to Back” and then you can add text on it. Copy the slide and change the photo with other ones to preserve all the picture format settings you have made.

3. Add PowerPoint background music to bring out the Christmas atmospheres. Click “Insert” → “Audio” → “Audio from File” → select your prepared Christmas songs. Then set it start automatically and play across multiple slides as background music. Guides: for PowerPoint 2010, for PowerPoint 2007 & 2003.
