Windows Movie Maker is a program used for creating special slideshows and video editing. With its help, you can create various video effects, add an audio track and voiceover text. The application can be used to publish and share movies.
Instructions
Step 1
The Windows Movie Maker window consists of several parts: the top toolbar, the task pane (on the left), the timeline, the video viewer, and the content area.
Step 2
Using the upper toolbar, you can open the necessary files, save them, perform the copy-paste procedure and change the elements of the program interface. The task pane contains the necessary functions that the user can use when creating and publishing a movie. For example, to open a video file, use the File - Open menu or the Import Media button.
Step 3
Project editing is done in the storyboard or timeline area. Use the storyboard to set the order of the slides in your project and edit the transitions you want. You can insert the desired image or video into the project by simply dragging and dropping the desired file into this area of the application. To set the desired transition effect, click on the corresponding icon between slides and select the desired option.
Step 4
From the Storyboard Display drop-down menu, you can select the Timeline option. Using the left mouse button in this section, you can set the duration of the display of a particular frame, as well as add an audio track by transferring the audio file to this area of the program. You can view the resulting video by clicking on the "Play" button at the top of the scale. Also in this menu you can add transition effects and titles, which can be inserted through the section "Overlay titles".
Step 5
After finishing working with the program, you can save the project as a movie in the.wmv or.avi format. After publishing, you can view these files both on your computer and transfer it to other users by writing it to removable media or sending it by e-mail. To save the project file, use the "File" - "Save As" item.
