Book Description

Publication Date: 5 May 2010 | Series: Getting Started

Windows Live Movie Maker is a small but powerful movie editing application from Microsoft. It is a complete rewrite of the old Movie Maker software with a new audience in mind. The focus of this new edition is on giving you the power to quickly create movies and slideshows to share with your friends and family. The movies can be a combination of your favorite pictures and home movies set to your own soundtrack. You can add cool effects to transition between scenes, and captions to add a narrative to your movie. With Movie Maker, users can:

  • Edit digital video and photos, including adding music and narration
  • Apply animation effects to videos and photos
  • Create DVDs for personal use, including menu systems for navigation

What you’ll learn

  • Learn what’s new and different with the Live version of Movie Maker; find out where to download it and view an installation walkthrough.
  • Discover the basics of importing pictures and video, how to use AutoMovie and perform some easy tweaks on it, and how to save projects.
  • Experiment with trimming, splitting, and rotating video, fading-in/out, using the View menu to zoom in/out and switch between aspect ratios, arranging storyboard items, and previewing movies.
  • Learn how to import, trim, and fade music in/out; use start/end points; control volume; and edit audio in a movie clip.
  • Use formatting, color, size, transparency, and start/end times to add text animation, titles, captions, and credits to your movies.
  • Learn about DVD formats, creating menu systems, HD (720 and 1080) vs. standard formats, portable devices, e-mail attachments, and IM formats.
  • Learn tips for enhancing movie and sound quality, file management, menu organization, and creating interesting DVD movies to share.

Who this book is for

Most digital video editing applications have a steep learning curve and a thick manual. Windows Live Movie Maker is not difficult to learn, but it does not come with a manual. This book is for readers who want to quickly and easily edit their digital movies and create DVDs for viewing, but don t want to sift through a lot of technical mumbo jumbo.

2.0 out of 5 stars Getting StartEd 21 Feb 2012
By Julie/Len
Format:Paperback
Thought this book would be an answer to my prayers being a step by step guide for someone who knows nothing about computers. Found this book confused me even more.Constantly talking through a new proceedures then saying it will be dealt with later in the book. Screen dumps didnt match per the instructions.Having to go it alone which is proving more succesful than using the book!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Guide for idiots 9 April 2011
By Mr. J. A. Bentley
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Being an idiot when it comes to film editing this book gave me a good start on a piece of software that certanly has some quirky bits and pieces.
John Bentley. Liverpool.
After using this book for 6 weeks it is more than a good start, combining it with Adobe Photoshop CS5 extended and Microsoft Publisher 2010 to edit the beginning and end titles and dubbing/ripping music CDs to provide a soundtrack it is possible to get really polished results.
