Magisto (Online)
Another online service that you can use to create videos with photos and music is Magisto. This service, which is also available via mobile app (which I will talk about in the following paragraphs), requires the payment of a subscription to be used (starts at $ 4,99 / month). However, you can use a free trial version to test all features for 7 days.

Movie Maker (Windows)
Among the many options available on Windows operating systems, I want to advise you to use the very famous program Movie Maker. This software has as its strong point the extreme ease of use but I remind you that it is no longer available for download in an official way: you will therefore have to download it through other sources.
To download Movie Maker you will have to go for example to the MajorGeeks site, which however only allows you to download the program with the user interface in English. After downloading and following the on-screen installation procedures (you will need to install the feature Photo Collection and Movie Maker), you can start creating your video with photos and music.
From the main Movie Maker screen click the button Add videos and photos which is located at the top left, so as to import your images. You can now add all the elements you want using the buttons in the toolbar: you can then add transitions between images and background music. If you want to generate a movie automatically, you can choose a theme from those available in the section Automatic movie themes. This button will allow you to create an automatic sequence with transitions, to which you can add a backing track.
When you are finished, you can export the video in one of the many formats available which are dedicated to saving a movie on physical media or aimed at sharing on online platforms.
Photo (macOS)
In case you have a computer with macOS operating system, then you will be pleased to know that you can create video slideshows with music and photos in a way free using the application Gallery.
Then start the app, using its icon in the Launchpad. From the top bar, click Fillet and then Crea > Presentazione. Then type a title for your presentation and click the button Ok. Then select the photos you want to add to the video and then click the button Add.
On the next screen, you can use the symbols on the right side to change the theme of the video slideshow, to add background music, and to change the transition time between photos.
When you've customized your video, click Export and select one of the available formats. Then choose the destination folder and click on the button Save.
Magisto (Android / iOS / iPadOS)
On mobile devices, there are several applications that can help you make a video with photos and music. In this regard, I recommend the application free Magisto.
If you are interested in this app, you can download it on both Android and iOS / iPadOS devices. The version free however, it is limited: you can add a maximum of 10 images to your presentation for a maximum of 1:15 minutes. In addition, video downloads are paid, requiring $ 1 for each video downloaded. To remove these limitations, you can take out a subscription.
Once you have downloaded and installed on your device via the links I have provided, click on its icon to launch it.
To start creating a video, you will first need to create an account free. After logging in, select the photos to import to the project from your gallery. As a requirement it is required that at least 5 images be imported. When you are done, tap the button NEXT.
Then choose a style to use among those in charge and then select a backing track from the list. When you're done, click the button Create my movie and wait for the movie to be ready for preview. The video will be automatically uploaded to Magisto's online platform (also accessible from the Web); you can then download it and share it on social networks.
WeVideo (Android / iOS / iPadOS)
Another interesting application for creating videos with photos and music is video Editor di WeVideo: this app is available for free both on devices with Android operating system and on those with iOS / iPadOS.
Note that the free However, this app applies a watermark to the exported video. To remove this limitation you will need to make an annual flat rate payment or take out a subscription. There is therefore the possibility of subscribing to a subscription plan to unlock more features, such as the possibility of making videos in HD 720p quality.
After downloading and installing the app on your mobile device, open the app and tap on button [+] to create a new project. On the new screen, tap the button [+] to add your own photos to import into the project. You will now be able to add a theme to your presentation, with the ability to add music tracks as well.
When you have finished customizing your project, you can export it, with the possibility of sharing it on Youtube or on your social networks. You can also use this service via the web interface from its official website.
