Windows Movie Maker allows users to create movies by importing images, video, and audio files into a collections area. These files can then be dragged onto a storyboard to assemble the movie sequence. The tool provides options for adding video effects and transitions between clips. Users can also add titles and credits, customize fonts and animations. When complete, the finished movie can be saved to the user's computer in a file format that can be played in Windows Media Player. A separate project file is also created that allows for future editing in Windows Movie Maker.
