Windows Movie Maker


 * = ==General Description == ||= Windows Movie Maker is a video software application included in Microsoft Windows. It can be used for video creation and editing. It contains features such as effects, transitions, titles/credits, audio track, and timeline narration. This is a great tool for developing a video on very straightforward and basic methods. Some of the features are limited to basics //(where something like IMovie is more advanced). //Much like the other Window’s based products the instructions are simple (or easy to find in the help menu) and user friendly. The editing is a great tool and for most of the other features are “drag” and “drop”. This is a solid basic video tool for the classroom. ||
 * = ==Teacher/Student Use == ||= Both student and teacher usage are self-explanatory. If you and your students are familiar with Windows and the tools available with the software, Movie Maker is easy to use. Also, there is valuable information linked to the program if you are having trouble doing something in the software. //(I had to look for help uploading videotape to digital, but I was able to find the answers) //Also, make sure that you don’t have a lot of other applications running when using the program. My version had a tendency to lock-up. //(That may have been isolated to me, but it is still a word to the wise) // ||
 * = ==Things to Know Before You Go == ||= The first version of Movie Maker was available for Windows ME and Windows XP. As Windows has upgraded (Vista, W7) Movie Maker was abandoned from the basic Windows package. Newer versions can be downloaded for free from Windows Live ||
 * = ==Technology Standards == ||= 8.1.2.A.5

8.1.12.A.2
