Bad to the bone video.

Did you get to where you got pictures imported to the moviemaker?
Next is to just click on a pic and drag it down to the "Storyboard" where the white squares along the bottom.
You do exactly the same thing with music.
Import it into moviemaker and then drag it down to the beginning of your row of pics.
Once you have a pic down in the row, right click it and you will see some options like "Fade In" and others you can play with.

Also look into where it say's "Show timeline" or "Show storyboard" just above the little squares where the pics end up.
This lets you see your music length and pictures.

Let me know how far you got.
