What is Windows Movie Maker?
Windows Movie Maker makes home movies amazingly fun. With Movie Maker, you can create, edit, and share your home movies right on your computer. Build your movie with a few simple drag-and-drops. Delete bad shots and include only the best scenes. Then share your movie via the Web, e-mail, or CD. Using third-party software you can even take movies youve made and turn them into DVDs. You can also save your movie back to the video tape in your camera to play back on a TV or on the camera itself.
Comments and Reviews
Classic Movie Maker was simple and easy to use. One thing it did that NO other software I've tried was to SIMPLY import an image sequence and then export as a movie at a frame rate of your choice. Brilliant for stopmotion.
Even the paid-for-apps can't do this simple task. Or if they can - you need to watch a series of tutorials, learn a whole lot of processes and even then, it's hit and miss. Just go and try changing frame rate in Photoshop and see what happens - or better still, surf the Adobe forums for animators struggling to output their animations.
Finally, Moviemaker also did what others can't - allow you to have different frame rates within the same timeline. So if one piece of your work needed to be at a different frame rate - you just selected those frames and changed the speed. All so simple you could do this yourself after 5 minutes play.
I read about the new Movie Maker 2012 with new features such as video stabilization, so I downloaded and installed it.
But when I tried to open Movie Maker, it always crashes and tells me to verify the system requirements: the old Movie maker run on processors with 1.6 GHz (single processor) or higher (for dual-core), the new one run on processors with 2.4 GHz. My pc is 1.9 GHz so it doesn't support the new Movie Maker.
Then why doesn't Microsoft verify my system requirements BEFORE install it on my pc?
Furthermore I can't reinstall the old version now because the installer notifies only the new one.
Another crap made by Microsoft.
Ohh. It was a cool program. Now I'm forced to look for an alternative
Because it's the best tool to create or edit an movie
New Movie Maker app into windows store is pure shit compared with old Movie Maker software.
Had some issues compiling gameplay videos from multiple different encodecs / formats, but windows movie maker handled it just fine. Granted, it took significantly longer though
Tried using FFMPEG directly, AvidaMux, premiere pro to no avail
File size came out nicely too
A good video editor that can run on low spec PC's.
