Step 2: Adding Pictures To The Storyboard

Your pictures will appear in the Collections pane of the Movie Maker window. These are actually copies of your pictures, so there's no risk of damaging your original images. Experiment with them as much as you like and have fun.

You now need to drag-and-drop your chosen pictures from the Collections Pane to the Storyboard at the bottom of the window. See below.
