Thread: Create video slideshows

indows Movie Maker can be found in "Start I Programs". The software provides support to multiple audio, video and image formats. Here we will create a brief movie using some images as an example. On launching Windows Movie Maker you will come accross the various modules of the player.

The bottom portion of the player comprises of the Storyboard grid which will later accomodate your audio, image and video files for editing. The left panel consists of shortcuts to different movie editing effects and tips. Using these shortcuts helps you save considerable amount of time.



On the left, we have the Preview Player. This player is capable of playing back the clip from the selected point on the Storyboard. In the heart of the Movie Maker window lies the most essential part, called the "Collections" segment. This includes all the media you have availible for editing. It serves as a basket that can hold all the media content that you wish to edit or add to your final movie. If by any chance, Windows Media Maker doesn't display these Collections, you can view it by
clicking "View I Collections" or click the "Collections" button on the toolbar. Make sure all the media files that you add to the Collections are of a supported format.
