Tutorial on making a video
using Windows Movie Maker

First, let us learn what is
Windows Movie Maker?

Windows Movie Maker
is a freeware video editing
software by Microsoft.

(codenamed Sundance,
formerly known as Windows
Live Movie Maker in Windows 7)

It is a part of Windows
Essentials software suite

and offers the ability to create
and edit videos

as well as to publish them
on OneDrive, Facebook, Vimeo,
YouTube, and Flickr.

The first release of Windows
Movie Maker was included
with Windows ME in 2000.

Version 1.1 was included in
Windows XP a year later,

and included support for
creating DV AVI and WMV 8 files.

Version 2.0 was released as a
free update in November
2002, and added a number of
new features

Version 2.1, a minor update, is
included in Windows XP Service
Pack 2.

The Movie Maker in Windows XP
Media Center Edition 2005 had
more transitions and support
for DVD burning.

An updated version, Windows
Live Movie Maker 2011,

was released on August 17,
2010, adding webcam capture,
support for high-definition
video,

the ability to upload videos
directly to SkyDrive
and Facebook,

and the ability to add media files
stored on network shares to
projects.

With the discontinuation of
the Windows Live brand

(and the re-branding of the
Windows Live suite as
Windows Essentials),

Windows Movie Maker 2012
was released in April 2012.

Support for recording
voiceovers was restored, along
with an audio mixer and
integration

with several free stock
music services. H.264/MP4
became the default export
format

(replacing Windows Media
Video), support for uploading
to Vimeo was introduced,

and hardware accelerated video
stabilization was also added as
an exclusive feature
for Windows 8 users.

Now, lets start
