You can also import it by dragging and dropping the photos or media into the Filmora. So I'll just simply move it and I'll open the files here. Images. Now, I can simply pull the images in.

So what can be done, you can just left click on an empty area and pull it to select all the images and click on open. So if I hit open, all the pictures will be opened here so I'm not clicking on open or else you can use a shortcut as well you can use Ctrl A to select all the images. Now imagine you don't want all the images you just need it from here till here. Now what can be done is you can just click on a picture from where you need the selection to start.

So I'll just click it here press hold Shift button from your keyboard and click on the end picture till where you need it so you can see all the pictures in between have been selected. Let's change the situation I need this picture and this picture So how can I select both of them at once because if I select one picture another picture gets deselected. So just press Hold CTRL and click on all the pictures that you need. So I'll just click on this, this and this now you can see the alternate images have been selected. Now let's imagine a situation where I need all the pictures except one so what can I do is I can just hit Ctrl A and hold CTRL and click on the picture that I don't need. So by holding the control you can even select and by holding the control you can even be select the selected photo in my case I'm just importing few pictures here like this I have selected these all and clicked on open now you can see all the pictures have opened here.

You can even create a folder and organize these pictures. So to create a folder you need to just click on this option Create Folder and now you can see my album one appearing here you can just change the name in case for example I'll put it animals. Now, if you want to import from this my album where we have imported all the pictures earlier into this animal section. You can simply drag and drop it there. I know eagle is a board. And I have dragged it just for instance to show you an example into this animals folder.

So let's close it further. Now if I want to delete this folder, I'll just select this folder and hit on this delete section and click on Yes, now you can see that folder has been gone. You can even rename it. So if you right click, you can hit rename, and you can change that name. Now let's import some videos as well. So I'll just right click and import to import the media the processes same media means all the images, videos, audios, etc.

So I'll just go into this video section and import few videos here. And I'll click on open. Now how to identify whether this clip is a video or a photo. So you can see the symbol here through which we can differentiate whether it is a photo or a video. You also have some filter options in search box on the top where you can just search for it if there are too many media clips here. So for example, I'll just type cat here and you can see all the images that has named cat in it when filter here there is also a view option here so you can just go Click on this view option view and there is a list view where you can see them in a detailed manner or else you can select other options as well group by short by, or view large thumbnail views or small thumbnail views.

So I'll just select last thumbnail view can also filter the videos or photos from your Imagine you have imported all the photos and videos at once. But you're working on a photo slideshow and you only need photos to be visible at the moment. So you can just click on the symbol and select images so only the pictures will be available here. You can even select video in the same manner so only videos will be available here. If you want to view all the images and videos you can simply click on this end click on all again. Now let's see how to get them into the timeline to work on it.

So you can do it in couple of ways. First method is you can simply click on the plus option available there. As soon as you click on the plus option, it enters into the timeline. You can even drag and drop into the timeline. Now let's see how to play pause or stop it so you can move the cursor So from here, like this, or is from here on the timeline, like this, so I'll just place it at the beginning to play here is the play button, I can play it. And once I hit pause it, it's paused now, but you can also use the shortcut to do that.

So if you don't know the shortcut, or if you don't remember it, there is a method, you can just simply leave the cursor on to that option, and it will show you the shortcut, which is paste means the spacebar just hit the spacebar from your keyboard, it plays now. And for the pause, also, it's the spacebar and to stop it. So what is the difference between the pause and the stop when you hit the pause, wherever the pointer is, it stops there itself, but when you hit the stop button from here, it goes to the starting point and stops. Let me click the Stop button from here. And now you see, it's on to the beginning point. I'll play it again.

I'll just hit the stop. And you can see it has stopped but the point is back to the initial position, whereas when I hit play And when I hit pause, it stops at the point where I have paused it. So I hope you know the difference. Now to stop it, the shortcut is Ctrl N forward slash. So if I hit Ctrl N forward slash, it stops it. And also you can navigate it frame by frame by using the arrow keys, you can hit the right arrow key to move it towards the right, you can observe it here, it's moving frame by frame.

And to move it towards the left, you can use the left arrow key, it's moving backwards frame by frame. Now if you want to view them clearly and see the timings in between, as of now it's going from zero to 10 seconds directly. And if I want to zoom in and see clearly so I can hit the plus button from here to zoom in, and now you can see it has zoomed in a bit and I can see the timeline More precisely, and you can use the shortcuts as well. So to zoom in, you can hit Ctrl N equal to symbol from the keyboard, right. And to zoom out you can use Ctrl minus and you can do it other way as well. Hold this pointer means when I put this cursor onto this pointer, I can move the pointer.

But if I don't put the cursor onto the pointer and directly click it, and now if I drag it, it zooms in and out. If I move it towards right, it zooms in. If I move towards left, it zooms out. Now if I want to fit this whole thing into this timeline, I need to simply click on this zoom to fit timeline, or else I can also use shift is that so now you can see it has automatically zoomed in to fit the timeline. And also sometimes we like to view this preview window larger than it is, or sometimes we would like to adjust the timeline space. So you can do that by just simply going towards these sections.

And when you see this symbol, you can pull it like this. You can adjust as per your requirements. Now coming to the tracks, you can see one video and one audio track available. If I need to add a track, I can just simply right click on it and click on add video track or add audio track respectively. Click on Add video tracks and now you can see track to appear. You can also add tracks by simply dragging the media and leaving it on to this empty space and a new track appears.

You can do it same with the audio tracks as well and there is another way you can just add the tracks in bulk just simply right click on the tracks and click on this open track manager where you can directly mention how many tracks you need. And simply you can select the placement placeable track to or below track to etc And in the same way you can do it with the audio tracks as well and you can hit OK and now you can see all the tracks appear here now let's see how to delete these tracks. So if I select this track and right click now you can see option called delete selected track I'll hit delete selected track and click on yes here so that selected track will be deleted. And imagine there are too many empty tracks which I have imported and I don't want as of now, so what I can do is I can simply right click on this track and click on Delete empty tracks all the empty tracks will be deleted.

You can also adjust the track height in case if you want to view the audio waveforms clearly etc. So you can simply right click on this track and click on adjust track height and click on because small as per your requirement. So I'll just simply click on this big and you can see that track getting bigger. You can also adjust the track height manually by simply holding here and you can just move it up or down. So that's it for this section. In the next section we'll see how to create a photo slideshow learning the related options simultaneously.
