Windows Movie Maker is a fun

and easy to use video editing


program that allows you to make
home movies, automated photo
albums and business
presentations.
1. Storyboard - In Windows Movie
Maker or other movie making
software, the storyboard is an
editing area located at the
bottom of the window. It is a
panel of pictures or other movie
clips, laid out in the sequence
that will be shown in the movie.
2. Timeline - The Timeline view of
Windows Movie Maker or other
movie making software shows the
components of the movie such as
photos, video and audio clips in the
order and timing that they will
appear in movie.
3. Video Capture - A video capture is
the process of transferring the video
you recorded from a video camera or
other video recording device (such as a
cell phone), to your computer. This
process is done by attaching the video
camera to your computer, with a special
USB cable (which usually comes with
the camera on purchase).
4. Video Clip - A video clip is a small
section of a larger video
presentation. A series of video
frames are run in succession to
produce a short, animated video.
This compilation of video frames
results in a video clip.
5. Video Frame - A video or movie
frame is a single picture or still shot,
that is shown as part of a larger video or
movie. Many single pictures are run in
succession to produce what appears to
be a seamless piece of film or
videotape. Each frame can be selected
on its own to print out a single
photograph.
6. Video Transition - Video
transitions are the visual movements
as one picture or video clip changes
to another.
7. Video Effects - Windows Movie
Maker video effects differ from video
transitions. The motion applies to the
individual picture itself rather than to
the change from one picture to
another.
1. Movie Task View
Links to the various tasks to
create your movie.
2. Collections View
A list of all imported
components for your movie -
photos, videos or sounds.
3. The Preview Screen
4. The Timeline or Storyboard
All parts of your movie, whether
photos, videos or sounds are dragged
to this area.
1. Movie Task View
2. Collections View
3. The Preview Screen
4. The Timeline or
Storyboard
Note - Clicking the Show Storyboard link
returns you to the Storyboard view. This
link will then read Show Timeline. Clicking
on the link Show Timeline returns this
area to the Timeline view. You will use
both views during the creation of your
movie.
Steps to Import Pictures
1. Click on the Capture Video link to
open the list of options. In this example
we will be using still pictures and music to
create our movie.
2. Click on Import pictures and locate the
folder containing your pictures.
3. Select the picture files you wish to
import.
Your pictures should now appear in the
Collections view. Click on the different
pictures to see them in the preview
window.
Drag your pictures to the Storyboard area of
the window. The Storyboard is where you
will build your movie.
Notice that after you drag your picture to the
Storyboard, it still remains in the Collections
view. You can use the same object many
times in your movie if you wish.
From the main menu, choose File > Save Project.
Windows Movie Maker saves the project in the
file format .MSWMM which allows for editing at a
later time. When your movie is complete, you
have additional options for saving the file, so that
it may be played in a webpage or emailed, for
example. These other options do not allow
editing, so it is important to save your working
file in the Movie Maker project format.
Import a Video Clip into Windows Movie
Maker
You can import a video clip into a brand new
Windows Movie Maker project or add a video
clip to an existing movie in the works.
1. Important - Make sure that all components
of this project are saved in the same folder.
2. In the Tasks pane on the left side of the
screen, click on Import video under the
Capture Video section.
Locate the Video Clip to Import

Once you have chosen to import a video clip in


the previous step, you now need to locate the
video clip saved on your computer.

1. Navigate to the folder that contains all the


components of your movie.
Locate the Video Clip to Import

2. Click on the video file you wish to import. Such


file extensions as AVI, ASF, WMV OR MPG are the
most commonly selected video types for Windows
Movie Maker projects, although other file types can
also be used.
3. Check the box to Create clips for video files.
Videos are often comprised of many small clips,
which are marked by the creating program when
the file is saved. These smaller clips are created
when the video process is paused or there is a very
obvious change in the filming. This is helpful to
you, as the video editor, so that the project is
broken down into smaller, more manageable pieces.
Locate the Video Clip to Import

Not all video files will be broken into smaller


clips. This depends on which file format the
original video clip was saved as. Checking this
box to create clips for video files, will separate
the imported video clip into smaller clips, if
there are obvious pauses or changes in the
original video clip. If you choose not to select
this option, the file will be imported in as a
single video clip.
Preview the Video Clip in Windows
Movie Maker

1.Click on the new video clip icon in the


Collections window.

2. Preview the imported video clip in the


preview window.
Drag Imported Video Clip to Storyboard
Now you are ready to add this imported video
clip to the movie in progress.
Drag the video clip icon from the Collections
window to the desired location in the
storyboard.
Note - If you wish to place the video clip in a
location that already contains another object,
such as a still picture, simply drag the
imported video clip just before the other
object on the storyboard. This will insert the
video clip before that object.
Save the Windows Movie Maker Project
Once the video clip has been added to the
storyboard, you should save your new movie
as a project. Saving as a project allows for
further editing at a later time.
1. Choose File > Save Project or Save Project
As... if this is a new movie project.
2. Navigate to the folder that contains all of
the components for your movie.
3. In the File name text box, type a name for
this movie project. Windows Movie Maker will
save the file with a file extension of MSWMM
to indicate that this is a project file and not a
completed movie.
