 * Select option to Create a Scrapbook, Video and/or Slideshow **
 * 1) Select the type of video you want to create. Typically if you have 15 or less slides a 30 Second short might work but there are fewer options for this type of video so you might want to choose the full video option.
 * 2) Select Upload From Your Computer and go to the folder containing your images. Select all of images used in Scavenger Hunt.
 * 3) After your images have uploaded make sure they are in the correct order. If they aren't then drag them into the correct order.
 * 4) If you want to add any text, click on the slide before your text and then click the Text option at the bottom and enter your text. If you put the text in the wrong place, you can drag it to where you want it.
 * 5) Click on Step #2 - Music and chose Select From Our Collection
 * 6) Listen to samples of music and click the Select Option next to the track you wish to use for your video. Select something that adds to the message you are trying to convey! Note: There are a few songs with PG or PG-13 lyrics. Do not use these songs in your videos.
 * 7) Click on Step #3 - Finalize. You might want to select 1/2 speed for pacing especially if you have selected a fast song - this option is only available on full length videos not 30 second shorts. Slides can go by really quickly and you want to make sure people can see & read your message!
 * 8) Select one of your images to use as your cover image.

 * 11) Embed the Scrapbook(s) into your Blog Post Titled Digital Scrapbook.
