Creating a Simple Movie

If you have a video that you want to quickly turn into a simple movie with a title and transitions between clips, you can have Windows make the movie for you.

Make a Movie

Open Windows Photo Gallery from the Start menu, and select Videos.

Double-click a video that you want to preview.

If you want to make this video into a movie, click Make A Movie.

After Movie Maker has started and created the movie, delete, move, or trim the clips shown on the Storyboard.

When the movie is perfect, choose Save Project from the File menu.

Click Publish Movie, and choose how you want to publish your movie.
