In spite of its price (free with Windows), Movie Maker provides extensive editing, transition, and effects capabilities to the movie maker who wants to produce quality movies. With the release of Windows XP and the release of Movie Maker version 2 soon afterward, Microsoft somewhat blindsided the marketplace with Movie Maker. The first version of Movie Maker that came with Windows Me was rather weak, and deserved the poor reviews it got. Microsoft surprised the market with Movie Maker's second version, however, and many video producers have used Movie Maker to easily put together their video productions ever since. TIP
In spite of its substantial feature list, Movie Maker has room for improvement and add-ons. Microsoft provides one answer for the user who wants to do more with Movie Maker by providing the Movie Maker Creativity Fun Pack, a free Movie Maker add-on that adds to Movie Maker's feature set. |
