You Don’t Need A Movie Camera To Make Movies
One of the great things about adding video to your eBay listings is the amount of flexibility you have. You can use anything from a full motion video to a slideshow of still photos. One of the very easiest ways to add video, if you don’t own a video camera, is with Microsoft’s Photo Story 3.
You can become an instant Ken Burns as you pan and zoom around your photos.
Photo Story allows you to add music and narration to your production, and when it is finished, the movie is rendered as a WMV file (that’s a Windows Media Player video) which can be uploaded to You Tube.
If you aren’t familiar with Photo Story – look at this example created by Microsoft:

That’s all done with just a single photo – and yet you feel like you just took a tour of the Grand Canal! Imagine what you could do if you were selling real estate – or cars – or just about anything – on eBay!
You can download Photo Story for Windows XP for free (that’s right – it’s free) here:
