Video Snapshot

Record a series of short scenes. Then, play back your video snapshot scenes set to your favorite music (069) to create your own fun music video. You will be surprised how by changing the background music, you can give your scenes an entirely new feel.

The default length of a video snapshot scene is 4 seconds but you can change it to 2 or 8 seconds, or to the length recommended for the selected story scene (category) in Story Creator, with the 88 [Video Snapshot Length] setting.
