Video editing is not just for professionals. Even if you have just started exploring this multimedia environment, you can still find software that's easy for you to use.
Windows Live Movie Maker is a video editing tool that enables you to transform images, audio files, and short clips into full-blown movies.
The interface is very user-friendly, and you don't need a tutorial to get you through Movie Maker.
A movie needs a few elements to become a movie, right? In this software you can add your standard photos, videos, movies, and text. But the interesting part is that you have to mix them together somehow.
Windows Live Movie Maker lets you choose between AutoMovie themes (which are very nicely designed), transitions (which can be slightly configured), visual effects, and text for title, captions and credits.
Music can be attached to the entire movie or just to a portion of it. The movie itself can be "expanded" (i.e. a caption remains on screen longer before switching to another one) to fit the music if the audio track has a larger length.
The whole project can be then saved as a Windows Media Video File, even for high-definition display. You can also publish your new movie online, on social media websites or others (plug-ins can be added).
CPU and memory are highly required.
Windows Live Movie Maker is not a complex program, so you can't adjust every detail, but it has all the necessary and suffice elements for creating a standard and yet professional-looking video file. And it's free!
