To adjust the order of the photos, directly drag the media you want to change and drop it to the place you want. This won't cover the original media so you don't have to add the file from media box again.

Edit Your Video

After adding media to the timeline, you can now edit your video in VideMake. On the left bar, you can add elements, sound effects, background music, text (caption), filters, transitions and animations to your video. On the upper right panel, you can edit the effects or music you've added to the timeline.
