westlean.wordpress.com 1

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.
