    You can make your own background music  with "anvil studios" (a free music composer), then add spoken commentary, using "audacity", (a free music editing program). It's a learning curve but fun to do.

    Alternatively you can find free music here:
    http://freemusicarchive.org/curator/Video/#
    http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-music/2

    There are many more sites, just Google "free music for download"

        I would use the free Windows video maker on your computer rather than Powerpoint.  I have used it and it was not bad at all.

            If not you can download it for free but there are several others which are free.  If you Google free Movie Maker, Windows Essentials you should find it.

            Yes, Windows 10

                I am self taught.  Try you tube as a learning tool.  I have learnt a lot from just watching tutorials.  It is really easy and these days you can even upload a video direct onto you tube from your phone and edit it and add music from youtube.  Pretty amazing stuff!

      There's a whole bunch of sites offering royalty free music you can use in a video. Just google "royalty free music".

        Gosh you are ambitious, good luck with it!  I think I would just be more choosy with my photos and use the Gallery feature instead.

          I think it is a great idea, anything to get more views to our hubs.  One of my videos posted a few years ago has had nearly 50,000 views.  Every penny counts:)

            I think it's a great idea too, I just don't have the energy for it!

          Please don't give up Tess. Search for "Movie Maker" on your computer, If it isn't there, just download it from:

          <snipped>

          After installation, click on "add videos and photos" (your video), "add music" (a sound file, the same length as your video), and bingo.

          Good luck.

            This what you're trying to do?
            https://youtu.be/MyL9y3jDCd8
            Put pictures in a video then have music that plays in the background as the slide show proceeds?
            A very simple process, actually.

            Let me know if you haven't figured it out.
            Cheers

                The videos are good.
                Background music would enhance them, that's for sure.
                You're close - now all you have to do is figure out how to get the music track on your video, and it will be really nice.
                Good job on the photo's, by the way!
                Cheers

                    If I was going to that particular market, it would be a website I'd visit before I go.
                    It gives a lot of info, the pictures and video's add to the "expertise" of the information.
                    Didn't check out the "flow" or the spelling and grammar, but don't see any reason why it has not been moved.
                    The beauty of hubpages - a mystery of why it hasn't been chosen!
                    Might want to ask others.
                    Best of luck.
