6.	Edit effects. 
7.	Change any of 'Logo', 'Crest', 'Audio', 'Add new image', 'Change image order', 'Remove the image', 'Edit effect', etc
8.	Upload your video to youtube

Recomendation

1.	The best results for the animation of images you get with the settings of "rotate", "rotate_ccw" and "zooming".
2.	Use images with good resolution.
3.	Some fonts can break the processing of ffmpeg. You can see this in the log files.
4.	If you are going to use FullHD (1920x1080) or a large resolution, you need a lot of memory on your host (4 GB or more). In the other case, ffmpeg may break.

Special variables

------------

You can set the next variables in image2video.php :

public static $output_width=1280;
public static $output_height=720;
public static $font_size=50; # default value for font_size
public static $font='/usr/share/fonts/truetype/roboto/hinted/Roboto-Bold.ttf'; # default value for font
