“The easiest way to create photo presentations on Vista”

by Elena Santos about Windows Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker lets you create completely customizable multimedia presentations that include not only your dearest shots and favorite video clips, but also some nice video and transition effects that will add a professional touch to your creation.

Windows Movie Maker is really simple to use: import all the media you'd like to use (images, video files and even video captured in real time) and drag it on the timeline. Then add as many effects as you like, and check how everything looks in the preview window. There's even a special tool that enables you to add titles and credits to your movie in a very easy way.

Once your work is finished, Windows Movie Maker lets you export the video with two main options, depending on where you want to use it: saving it to your hard drive or recording it to a tape on your DV camera. I'm surprised to find only these two options, especially when the XP version of Windows Movie Maker features a lot more.

Also, bear in mind that Windows Movie Maker is intended for people with little or no experience in video presentations at all, which means that more advanced users may find it a bit too limited.

With Windows Movie Maker you can easily create your own video presentations with your favorite photos, video clips and some nice transition effects.

Pros
  • Very easy to use
  • Works with images and videos
  • Includes many video and transition effects
Cons
  • Too simple for power users
  • Few exporting formats supported

    Not the best...

    I wish you could do other things in WMM like cropping the video, and more and better effects and better captions, and transitions.. I would say that it would only be good for simple videos, not... More

    Why did they remove Pan from the new movie maker? Did they think no one uses it? For me, It's one of the best features. My original movie maker keeps crashing, and that one had it.... More

    I wish the makers of WMM 2.6 had allowed the users to change the font colors for various backgrounds. Windows Movie Maker (previous version) allowed this and it enhances your movies by allowing... More
