1 Import MP3 and Images to this Program

Install and run Filmora Video Editor, then choose 16:9 or 4:3 ratio and click “Import” to select the desired MP3 song and images from your computer to import. The imported files will appear as thumbnails in the item tray. You can double click the MP3 file to listen to, or image file to view in the right previewing window.

2 Combine MP3 and Images

After all the files are being imported, drag-n-drop the MP3 file and image file to the music and video track respectively. Then highlight the image and when the "I" icon appears, drag it and expand the time frame to fit the length of the MP3 file.

If you want to add more images and show them at the same time, drag-n-drop all the files to the PIP track. Then change the size, position as you like. If necessary, add intro/credit, transition and more effects to make a more special creation.
