Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
Hey! I'm glad you have it! It's a bit hard to explain, but I'll try my best.
First of all, you need to save the all of pictures you'll be using to the same file. So save them all under a folder titled" Graduation" or something you'll be able to find easily.
After doing this, on the left-hand side, there's a menu type thing. Select "import pictures" and put all of your pictures in there.
Then, you drag them down to the timeline at the very bottom of the screen. Put them under "Video". You can also reorder them in the time line by simply clicking & dragging, if needed.
After you have them in the order you want them in, you'll notice that the time between each picture will be pretty long. Select a picture (Obviously, starting with the first one s your best bet) and scroll over it until 2 red arrow appear next to it. When the 2 arrow (they'll be side by side) appear, click the picture and drag it to the left to make it shorter and the right to make it longer. This is kind of time consuming, but it has to be done unless you want a really crappy movie quality.
TIP: After you "trim" all the picture times, DON'T MESS WITH THEM (like dragging them) You'll screw up the entire thing.
Next, you'll need to add the music. It needs to be a certain format, so I'd suggest finding it on Myspace and downloading it. Songs on Myspace are the only ones that have worked for me, because they're in that format.
Once you have the song, drag it down to the" Audio/Music" section of the timeline. Now you've got your song and the start of a movie!
I'm sure you'll want to add affect to the pictures, so to do this, click Tools -"Video Affects". A list will pop up with a bunch of cool affects. To use them, drag it to the left side (or beginning I guess) of the picture you want it to affect. That didn't sound good, so here's an example (I even got fancy and added a picture!)
Say I'm using the "Fade Out" affect. The picture shows where I would drag it to.

After you've got all your picture affects, you're almost done! This next step is optional, though. It's adding "Video Transitions", which are effects BETWEEN the clips. Click Tools-"Video Transitions". To use these, you do the same thing as you did for the "Video Affects".
There's really a lot to do with movie making, and you'll probably have to spend fair amount of time on this, but it'll be worth it in the end!
I really hope this helps, as I took a ton of time typing it up.
If you need more, help, on the screen in Movie Maker, there is a "Movie Making Tips" section as well, located on the left side right under the thing you clicked to import pictures.
You can also inbox me again, I'm always glad to help =]
Good Luck and I really hope your movie turns out!
