[@duschanbenensisel407]

This is a very great tool ! Thank you very much for the video. Is there a option to let a picture fly into a foil ?

[@dwyaneyuki]

[@michellededeoph.d.648]

Is there a way to apply a random zoom/fly/etc with the photos?

[@tomadamson3478]

Thank you so much girls

[@Kapwing]

Of course! Thanks for watching

[@michaelinman3501]

can you desolve or fade...images to the next image? transition to the next image Thanks for the video

[@cheriecave9080]

This looks easy enough that even I can do it. Is this only for PC or can I also use for mobile device? Thank you...

[@bakinpeach]

The output is MP4. And I burned it to a DVD for my mom to play on her DVD player, but it doesn't work. Did I do something wrong? She's wants to use on her TV - play it during a Zoom anniversary party.

[@lyfe_travel1]

Thank you.

[@Kapwing]

You're welcome!

[@YeaYaZa]

Hi this was amazing! Thank you so much, can I mix imagines and videos to my slideshow?

[@Kapwing]

Yes you can! Kapwing supports images, videos, and GIFs, so you can upload whatever files you have

[@philw9787]

Can u download to a DVD after done?

[@TrishBell1]

You girls are awesome! But....I am having a helluva time creating though!

[@YamiFoxx]

I'm looking for something a little more complex, i'm looking to create a slideshow but transition and add effects to the beat of music, can this be done in kapwing?

[@Kapwing]

Yes -- check out the "Timeline" tab for more sophisticated iMovie-style editing tools. You can upload multiple audio files and adjust timing with higher precision

[@mujaahid72]

Thanks Again !!!! I always use this app to make content I never knew how a make s slide show until now

[@Kapwing]

Such kind words! So glad to hear that Kapwing has been valuable for you

[@BAHDK]

Hi, I used ot make these videos and didnt pay. I came back 2 years later and I don't have Studio and it doesn't work the same? Does that mean I have to pay?

[@luxiouslove5502]

Hi I would like to know why when I paste the music and play it with the picture why does it keeps skipping. can you please tell me how to fix it

[@Kapwing]

This issue should be resolved!

[@ChicagoBeaver]

Is this free? I heard other slideshow viewers advertise free but ultimately you do need to purchase items. OK, I tried it and when I pasted a KZbin video link just like you did, I'm just watching the video I pasted. I'm not seeing my pictures. This is not good, I've just wasted 48 minutes and I specifically wanted NOT to waste my precious time. Now I can't backspace to get back to the homepage. Wow. Thanks a bunch man.

[@adaramitchell7172]

Can I add multiple songs???

[@vatsalabhandarkar1587]

hi, i am trying to add music to all slides. But it is not happening. Music is only getting add to one slide. Please help me

[@KingAsian010]

the thing is when i put in music it goes on one photo and its like the whole song

[@ashanti5555]

Can I add videos as well? Can two people work on it at one time?

[@Kapwing]

Yes! We have collaboration features in Kapwing that allow you to work on any project with someone else at the same time

[@steventheslayer]

I downloaded the video I made. I get an error message when I try to play the video

[@stramial]

I can't find this anywhere in kapwing. Is this for an old version?

[@Kapwing]

Unfortunately yes, this is an old version! You can still drag your photos in to the Kapwing Studio to upload them, but you'll need to use the "Duration" dropdown menu to make them into a video. Choose, for example, 3 seconds for each image. Then, you can use the Audio sidebar to find or upload music. I hope this helps! We should remake this video soon...

[@codychavarria6088]

Can you do multiple songs?

[@bienamoranto]

does it has watermark of kapwing?

[@Kapwing]

If you login we remove the watermark for free!

[@williamkinglopez]

why is my first layer picture is not my thumbnail when I downloaded it?

[@Kapwing]

It should load! It’s possible that there was an issue with uploading. Just click “edit” to uploading again

[@sandrarthornton]

Why does my picture lineup look different than yours? Does it look different if you have paid a monthly subscription?

[@reggiet5622]

How do I get the music to play for my entire slide show? its stopping on my 2nd pic

[@Kapwing]

Music added in the main "Audio" tab should play through the whole project! If that still doesn't work, please email [e-mail] so we can look into the issue and work on fixing it :)

[@beckybowen479]

@@Kapwing I am having this same issue now. The slideshow plays fine until I add the music. After I add the music, the slide show stops after the first frame. Music keeps playing, but no pics. Any ideas?

[@nayelicampos9764]

do i have to downland the app

[@Kapwing]

No you don't! You can just long press on the video to download it to your camera roll

[@techsupplies7746]

Can video be added? and make slideshow with videos and photos?

[@Kapwing]

Yes! You can use images and videos :)

[@mariahtomacruz6202]

I did everything the only problem is I don't know why the music doesn't add.

[@fiklerbuldoom995]

Why can't I edit a video?it denies each and every time I try.

[@fiklerbuldoom995]

Adding salt to the injury When I try to download it it says that kapwing unfortunately stopped.why is it?I have tried several tim es to uninstall and install but it still denies.my phone is huawei p6-uo6

[@fiklerbuldoom995]

Pls say something.

[@manzilemmanuel1936]

Can we add text to the pics we upload

[@Kapwing]

Manzil Emmanuel yes! You can

[@throughmyeyesphoto4705]

It appears it's asking for membership and payments...

[@kristionabank6810]

i could not find video maker?

[@Kapwing]

Go to Kapwing.com

[@lidiyademydova1131]

Couldn’t download video.

[@fiklerbuldoom995]

Maybe it works only for computers

[@fiklerbuldoom995]

I'm really pressing the get started button but it just won't work.

[@clairestadtmueller2772]

I put the url and the thing spins and spins and never actually uploads it.

[@Kapwing]

Oh no, sorry that's happening :( Please email [e-mail] so we can look into the issue and work on fixing it!

[@mahamnaz5404]

how to add transitions?

[@Kapwing]

To add transitions, click your clip, go to the "Animate" tab on the right side and you can choose a transition there, then choose whether you want to apply it to the intro, outro, or both

[@mahamnaz5404]

@@Kapwing I did but it how error when first image end after transition econd imade can't merge in first one

[@niesahanipah7815]

why i cannot publish my slideshow?....it's taking too long.

[@Kapwing]

Hiya, we've made a lot of improvements on speed in the last month! Would love for you to try again

[@martincox6419]

[@Kapwing]

We've fixed this issue now, if you try again!

[@Butterfly-fe6tr]

whyb i cant share?

[@Kapwing]

You can! You can share the editor with other collaborators or Export and share the final MP4.

[@buddleiabee]

Doesn't look like that now. Much harder to work out.

[@fiklerbuldoom995]

Pls say something.

[@DrLusEnglish]

It seems your brand name might pollute American English pronunciation, since it introduces a new consonant /pw/. I understand it's a new word created for your business and it maybe cool to you guys. I'm concerned with its social responsibility when it comes to language integrity.

[@Kapwing]

Lol what about “lapwing” ? It’s a type of bird

[@kerrybaker506]

Screens don't look anything like this anymore.

[@corpsparty4707]

this does not work

[@larrylandry6160]

No longer free and very slow

[@paulinehillen8118]

This is NOT FREE!

[@Dishtech48]

Dont do it.. IT cost , and per year.. plenty of free ones out there... always a catch...

[@willguy7793]

Kapwing sucks, you have to pay 20$ a month to work on a project 2 days old. 0/10 would not recommend.

[@zoricaj3434]

Super nonsense more like! Just tried to create a simple slide show with music. I've read written and watched video tutorials, and no joy. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼

[@mvrco_polo]

bro this sucks i can’t even edit past seven minutes

[@Kapwing]

You can! But you have to be a Pro subscriber. This helps us keep our business running -- thanks for understanding

[@Bigrhythm4]

This video is a fake, Kapwing barely works. Stay away.
