This was my first attempt at making a book trailer (marketing tool) for my literary historical novel-in-progress, The Sisters of Compostela (now titled: The Road Scholar).
How I made this video:
I used a Mac to make a Powerpoint presentation. After saving the PPT project, save the project "as pictures", so that each slide is saved as a jpg. Open iMovie, and insert each jpg into the story board. Once the slides are in place, choose a movie theme and adjust the length of each slide. Choose a song from iTunes and lay it on the story board (this makes the background light up green). Finally, click on the Share tab to post it on YouTube. If you have a PC, I believe you can use MovieMaker.

My trailer w/ different theme: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yt-5Mwip7rM
