How to create the Self Portrait Video for extra credit



First, keep all your layers when assembling the grid. Using the Move tool with the Auto Select feature active (set it in the options bar below the main menu), move all the layers to the upper left corner. This will put the all into one stack. Then, crop the image so that in only contains the image area. Then crop this image to 352x288 pixels. If your images are square or vertical, then you will have to extend the width of the image to create black bars to keep the video horizontal without cropping your image. If you are more savvy or want a higher resolution video, then you can the video as MP4 Basic using 640x480 instead. See images below.
