Template Movie Help

Hello,
I want to make a movie that will have the look of a scrapbook or album and you can see pictures/clips/slideshows as the album turns.
Is there a template for this?
If not, how do I get new templates/themes besides the two that are pre-loaded on...
Thanks so much!

It sounds as though you are talking about the Movie Wizard Templates.
For something as complex as that which you describe you will need to use the VideoStudio Editor and it will require a lot of work.

Don't be put off though because the end results can be quite astonishing.
Take a look at what this user has created in this sample video. It is an inspiration to us all.

Do you have any idea where I could get the actual book graphics?

I think you are probably looking for clip art.
There might be some here:
links to FREE stuff, alternatively you can do a google search. Worst case scenario is that you can purchase clipart - they even have some in my local supermarket.

Depending on how complex you wanted your slideshow to be, you could -- relatively simply, insert the various Album transitions between the photos. That way it looks as though you are turning pages and the the photos either zoom out of fade in etc.

Be warned, though, that the Album transitions are themselves complex and usually add considerably to the rendering time. Also, many users have difficulty even getting them to work.
