    How to Use Facebook Timeline Movie Maker to Create Timeline Movie

    By in Facebook

    You must be well aware of the Timeline profile that Facebook announced at the f8 developers meet last year. If you aren’t, the Facebook Timeline is basically a beautiful and colorful representation of your life and time spent on Facebook. During the launch, Facebook enticed the crowd with a Facebook Timeline movie made of a certain users profile. However, not many were stoked with the idea of having their whole life, i.e, photos, status updates, friendships, wall post, videos and everything else posted on a single page and open to all your friends.

    And many are going to be furious once they will be forced to change to the new Timeline profile and let go of the old look. Yes, Facebook is doing that. Slowly, but it’s happening and there’ve been a lot of negative reaction to it. But, the social networking giant knows that people will still come to the site and gradually start liking the new profile design.

    The Facebook Timeline Movie

    Everyone wants to star in a movie, that is related to their lives, we all want to show the world how our life is. Same is the concept with the Fb Timeline movies. A movie developed using all the events, pictures and things posted on your new Timeline profile is simply called the Facebook Timeline Movie. The company announced yesterday, that in collaboration with Definition6, they’ve launched a simple app called Timeline Movie Maker that will do this for you.

    Timeline Movie Maker is an amazing app and does an equally amazing job in creating a very enthralling 1-minute video based on your Timeline profile. The music score is amazing too, which actually makes the short movie very interesting to watch.

    How to Create Facebook Timeline Movie

    You can create your very own timeline movie with the help of the Timeline Movie Maker app. It’s really very easy, though it takes some time to get it all done. Also, make sure you have a good collection of photos, status updates and info on your timeline, otherwise the app will not work for you. Let’s start shall we?

    • Go to Timeline Movie Maker. Make sure you’re logged in on Facebook, if not Login via the app and allow access to everything on your profile.
    • Click the green button that says ‘Make your Movie’.

    • Wait for the app to finish producing your movie, which might take a while if you have a lot of pictures and videos.

    • After it’s done, you’ll get to see a preview of the movie. Then, you can either share it on Facebook or start over. You will be given options to choose a music score from one of 5 given and change the images that are shown in the movie.

    Once your movie is created, you can preview it and makes changes from right there. You can change sound track and there are 5 track at this moment: Original, Nostalgic, Cinematic, Romantic, Playful. Since this app pulls any image from your timeline to create movie, you can remove images by clicking on any of the image from the bottom. This may take some time but very useful, if you are creating professional timeline movie. Once you have done removing images and selected your track, click on remake your movie to see the final output.

    That’s all you have to do to make your very own Facebook Timeline Movie. Now you can share your story with your friends. Currently, you can only share the video on Facebook. Also, it will recherish your memories once again in the form of video.

    I have a problem in this!! I’m trying to create the movie, when the progress bar starts, the pictures are seen behind it, and it changes in few seconds and when the progress bar is *almost complete* it stops there and the pictures behind it keeps changing in a loop of 4 or 5 pictures…
    but still the progress bar says : capturing good side, compiling things blah blah blah…

    I tried it several times and this happens every time! :-/

    Any idea whats causing it?
