Windows Movie Maker Features:
One great feature of Windows Movie Maker is that it includes a transition editor, which enables the user to manually draw, blend and split movie transitions. The different kinds of transitions include the linear movement, animated transitions, clip lightings and special effects.
It’s simple, intuitive interface is easy enough for even first-time editors to master and has a slightly more extensive version of an ordinary video editor's timeline. The built-in editing tools allow you to trim, move, flip, add text, and combine photos and text.
Other features such as the lock/unlock button, fade in/out, duplicate frame, time code and image masking are also present in this software. You can import and save animations and graphics from flash sites like Flicker, Adobe Flash, and Paint Shop.
Windows Live Movie Maker comes free with Windows and is designed to be simple to use and understand. The software allows you to quickly and easily import photos and text and then apply a variety of creative editing techniques that include video and photo retouching, replacing background images, adjusting lighting and color, creating captions, converting text to speech, and more.
The software contains a library of ready-made video clips, as well as a number of pre-made sounds and text effects. It also provides support for third-party applications and plug-ins.
However, the key feature to this software is the fact that it supports the importation and use of many different types of media files. Therefore, you can import your own photos and music, or you can use media files from different sources and merge them together.
