How to use Minitool MovieMaker to create custom videos
Minitool MovieMaker is a free program in English that allows you to collect your favorite images and music in a single movie, customizing it with transitions, effects, and phrases of your choice. The English language may not always help but it is all quite intuitive and once the first difficulties are overcome, with some unsuccessful attempts, you can create interesting videos to share with friends and relatives.
The first thing to do, after starting the program, is to select all the media, then images, music, and any other videos, to be used to create our final movie.
We can select the images and drag them all to the bottom of the screen, or hovering over them with the mouse activates a + in the right corner that allows us to add them one at a time.

If the sequence of images does not suit us we can select one at a time and move it to the most suitable position. At the top right instead, we can adjust the duration of the single image, the contrast, the saturation, and the brightness.
how to use Transitions
There are numerous transitions that can be applied to images, you can choose a different one for each image or apply the same to all of them. Here too we can drag them or always choose them with the +.
