Windows Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker is a basic video creating/editing software included in Microsoft Windows. It contains features such as effects, transitions, titles/credits, audio track, timeline narration, and Auto Movie.

Transitions are how one scene switches to the next. Rather than simply ending one scene to the next, you can insert fades, flips, dissolves, and other dramatic shifts between scenes.



Special Effects changes the appearance of a video clip by rotating it, slowing it down or speeding it up, or making it appear like old film footage.



By using the Title And Credits feature in Windows Movie Maker, you can easily create an interesting title sequence at the beginning of your movie and provide a list of credits at the end. You can also place titles in between scenes of the movie.



In adding Narration, you can record yourself speaking over your movie. This is perfect when you need to describe what's happening on-screen or tell stories that happened off-camera.
An AutoMovie feature offers predefined editing styles (titles, effects and transitions) for quickly creating movies.

When importing footage into the program, a user can either choose to Capture Video or Import into Collections to import existing video files into the user's collections. The accepted formats for import are .WMV/.ASF, .MPG (MPEG-1), .AVI (DV-AVI), .WMA, .WAV, and .MP3.
Importing of other container formats such as MP4/3GP, FLV and MOV ,MIDI, AIFF, AAC and SWF are not supported even if the necessary DirectShow decoders are installed.

The layout consists of a storyboard view and a timeline view, collections for organizing imported video, and a preview pane. When in Storyboard view, the video project appears as a film strip showing each scene in clips. The storyboard/timeline consists of one 'Video', one 'Music/Audio' bar, and one 'Titles/Credits' bar. In each bar, clips can be added for editing. Still images can also be imported into the timeline and "stretched" to any desired number of frames.
