To create a video from pictures, connect your photos to the Motion node in the slideshow maker<\/a>, describe the pace and the mood, and add a track.<\/strong> It renders the finished video in Picsart Flow, with no timeline or keyframes to manage.<\/p>\n

Have clips as well as photos? Flow joins them into the same video, adds music written for it, and captions it for viewers who watch with the sound off.<\/p>\n

Two ways to turn pictures into a video in Picsart Flow<\/span><\/h2>\n

Both run on one Picsart Flow<\/a> canvas, and edits never overwrite your original photos.<\/p>\n

How the slideshow maker works<\/span><\/h2>\n

The slideshow maker is built on the Motion node, which is made for exactly this job. There is no timeline to drag photos along and no keyframes to set: you connect content, describe the video, and the node renders it.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • What goes in:<\/strong> the photos you connect on the canvas, plus a prompt describing the pace, the mood and the titles. It can also start from a prompt alone, or from a product URL for an ad or an announcement.<\/li>\n
  • What comes out:<\/strong> a finished video up to 10 minutes long, rendered in under 20 minutes. The video lands on its own node, ready to connect to music, clips or a share button.<\/li>\n
  • How you edit it:<\/strong> a chat sits inside the node. Ask it to change any slide, slow the opening or reword a title, and keep going until the story feels right.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How to create a video from pictures with the slideshow maker<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Step 1. Upload your photos<\/h3>\n

    Start a new canvas in Picsart Flow and bring in the pictures you want in the video, along with any short clips. AI-generated images can join the set too.<\/p>\n

    Step 2. Fix any photo with AI first<\/h3>\n

    Use the photos as they are, or clean them up on the same canvas:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Inpaint<\/strong> erases distractions, like a passerby behind your subject.<\/li>\n
    • Outpaint<\/strong> widens or lengthens a square picture so it fits a new frame without cropping.<\/li>\n
    • Relight<\/strong> changes the time of day on a clip so it matches the other shots.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Step 3. Let the Motion node build the slideshow<\/h3>\n

      Connect your photos to the Motion node and describe what you want: the order, the pace, the mood, a title for the opening slide or a caption per photo. The more specific the prompt, the closer the first render lands.<\/p>\n

      Step 4. Refine it in the chat<\/h3>\n

      Watch the result and ask the chat inside the node for changes until every slide works. Undo steps back through any edit.<\/p>\n

      Step 5. Add music<\/h3>\n

      This is how to make a video with pictures and music. Tell ElevenLabs Music what the song should feel like, for example soft and romantic for an anniversary, and it composes an original track to match:<\/p>\n
