LABORATORY WORK

Subject : «Creation of video files using Windows Movie Maker software».


Purpose: Explore the interface and editing features of the program Windows Movie
Maker.
Basics concepts
Windows Movie Maker (codenamed Sundance, formerly known as Windows Live Movie
Maker in Windows 7) is a video editing software by Microsoft. It is a part of Windows
Essentials software suite and offers the ability to create and edit videos as well as to publish them
on OneDrive, Facebook, Vimeo, YouTube, and Flickr. The first release of Windows Movie
Maker was included with Windows ME in 2000. Unlike other Windows Essentials apps, Movie
Maker has not yet been replaced or succeeded by anything else.
The layout consists of a storyboard view and a timeline view, collections for organizing
imported video, and a preview pane. When in Storyboard view, the video project appears as a
film strip showing each scene in clips. The storyboard/timeline consists of one 'Video' (with
accompanying 'Audio' bar), one 'Music/Audio' bar, and one 'Titles/Credits' bar. In each bar, clips
can be added for editing (e.g., a .WAV music file will belong on the 'Music/Audio' bar). Still
images can also be imported into the timeline and "stretched" to any desired number of frames.
The Video and Music/Audio bars can be "cut" to any number of short segments, which will play
together seamlessly, but the individual segments are isolated editing-wise, so that for example,
the music volume can be lowered for just a few seconds while someone is speaking.
