How to use Windows Movie Maker to cut, paste, edit, add effects to videos - video tutorial

Hi friends, tutorial today will learn together how we can do a slideshow of pictures, how can we put effects on pictures or videos, how can edit or crop the videos, how can we put transition effects (transition from one clip to another is called transition effect or transition effects) or how we can get the sound of a video clip and how we can replace our own audio clip .. When it comes to video editing are a lot of software that do this but many of these are commercial software and not so easy to use! In today's tutorial I chose to show you how to use Windows Movie Maker software that comes pre-installed on the Professional versions of Windows XP and Windows XP Home Edition. Is a software that knows how to juggle quite well with audio, video, photos, effects. All that remains to do is to have new imaginative enough we can achieve a nice clip.
Formats supported by Windows Movie Maker are:

Video files: .asf, .avi, .wmv, .MPEG1, .mpeg, .mpg, .m1v, .mp2
Audio: .wav, .snd, .au, .aif, .aifc, .aiff, .mp3
Windows Media files: .asf, .wm, .wma, .wmv
Image files (pictures): .bmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .jpe, .jfif, .gif

You can save video files, which are final: .wmv, .wma, .avi

It is a soft ideal if you want to make a slideshow with pictures and miniclipuri made vacation if you want to trim the beginning or end of a video that did not like how it came out, you can convert a video or filming a video / film old, you can give them an effect of the films in the years 80
All this tutorial we will learn together today. I say that not much point to a long text so I invite you to follow along video tutorial and if you want a tutorial for Windows Movie Maker in Windows Vista or 7 not hesitate to ask for it in the comments box of this tutorial!
Remember, if you have suggestions, complaints or additions do not hesitate to write in the comments box, de-also if you met the comments box a user has a problem and you can help him, do not hesitate to do it, the only way we can do this place better, see the comments box!
Enjoy !

    Good tutorial I have Windows XP Professional and I have this program, but I've downloaded from the net ..

    • It means that you don't have such an original Windows, it's a build from that light on the "net".
      There's no problem, good that you downloaded.
      Now I tell you something, it has nothing to do with the subject of the tutorial. Try not to take any kind of windows from the "net", it is preferable to get an original one, those "light" can contain something other than "bundle" programs, be careful what you install .
      In the case of Windows 7, you don't have to stress anymore, there is "windows 7 to download in the trial version", we also have a tutorial, you can use that one a lot and well, with the help of the tutorial with "rearm" made by Adrian.

  2. very cool tutorial!

  3. Very good tutorial Adrian, now I've seen and I can do as a tutorial Sony Vegas, you just warmed this Tutorial Windows Movie Maker.

    • Yes, thanks, I'll do with Sony Vegas if people will ask this. For those who want to step into the world or rather the mysteries of video editing I would say this is a good start and from here can learn many basics that are key in professional video editing. If those who want to engage in video editing I do not know what a timeline, transition effect, audio split, merge video, overlay and other terms can not grab Sony Vegas.

    al cristi I have a problem with pc when the world gives me a damn restart I have a vb with a boy and he told me to try "SUPERAntiSpyware" I searched I found the tutorial I did the same as you did and you detected 4 more teeth I deleted them I gave it a finish, it gave me a restart, was it from those or is it from something else ??

    • dragos_florin said

      stefbabanu: Of Cristi I have a problem with the PC when they give me hell world restart I talk to a guy and told me to try "SUPERAntiSpyware" I searched I found tutorialu I did everything you did lafel with 4 Dina I have never tracked I gave wiped finish gave me a been a restart of those or get something from another?

      I think if you say that spyware has been detected 4 you do not know maybe you have other problems

  5. Welcome.
    Christ as a Windows you mention it .. Well first 7
    I also downloaded from microsoft windows 7 enterpise but now comes the problem
    after I installed it already expired 1 occur, 2 I put ream .. gave
    another 10 days of operation…. 3 when I tried to activate the 90 days
    cika version has expired and can not activate the 10 days

    Windows moves as if I awful installed on the PC hard
    newly installed and Windows erea
    I know you're right and you can not swallow dp windowsurile pirated net
    but honestly… I have a 2 year old pc system
    a motherboard msi .. blah blah with a handset… .medium level
    a gb ram gb hdd odd 160 who knows what kind of pc
    "Perforamt" adika that is to play crysis no problem I enter the game I can change the settings in the game when the time comes to give "new game" adika to play
    FPS game 0 1 frames per second ie the 5 seconds adika game jocu miss the pictures =))
    but that's not the problem…
    I said I have the system for 2 years…
    for 2 years I took net pirated dp windows… honestly it doesn't move very well very well….
    and another thing ..
    after I got windows 7 dp net the free version from miscrosoft.
    and I saw it was cabbage…
    I downloaded dp pirate bay… windows 7 which contains all versions from home premium to ultimate…
    to be even more honest it works perfectly… it's a pity it's in Portuguese… but I can change its language from the settings… that's not a big problem…
    honestly I would give a 10 with my eyes closed to the "pirated" windows and that's not because it's free!
    and at microsoft… a 4,5 pulled hair.
    one more thing .. so far I have followed almost all the tutorials made by you… this just to know that I know how to activate the 90 days tyel but in vain cika is expired (I mean enterpise from microsoft)

    I just want to ask that could damage a pirated Windows system: D?

    and good luck keep up the good work: D…

      Me and my partner have all explained over time is not good to have a Windows pirate!
      1. May contain undetectable servers easily realized that the one who can intercept or connect to your PC without even feeling it
      2. You can make very simple and easy your PC into a zombie
      3. most pirated windows have drivers included (often useless for your pc's system and configuration… this is where the errors you keep getting when installing certain software start)
      4. have included software that maybe you do not need
      5. may contain keyloggers or backdor through which you can be easily intercepted and "listened"
      6. many services have stopped the nonsense that happens to need them very often. That's why we all cry the comments that you made in our tutorials as you too will not come out.
      7. are configured and customized in such a way as to please the one who made it and often you… may not have the same tastes as his

      Now let's think a little and logically, do you really think that someone has so much time to customize a windows, to work so hard on it to "unsecure" it to give it to you for free? Isn't that an interest? I say think before you install a pirated Windows and look for the logic for which someone would make a windows and offer it for free on the net. would you do that yourself? Would you give money for a Windows and then put it for free on the net for download? And if they "pirates" still do it, what is the purpose? isn't it to mask something under that "free"? Isn't that what he was interested in? How? simple… provides you with a windows ready "unsecured" for free, you take it, install it and he gets what he intended! it makes servers and boots on your back, steals your data, accounts, email addresses and other important data from which it would benefit. But let's get back to the topic of the tutorial. these things have been said here many times so it doesn't make sense to discuss the subject anymore, at least not in this tutorial. the subject of this tutorial is completely different!

    Good tutorial a question of can mam looked think or are sure all the tutorials on site Very good all but I found a tutorial on a program that can make flash banners intro etc but flash you can do one or is sami indicate une

    and I use the same program, it's very easy and simple

  10. xxcrazyn3sxx said

    I learned it in 10 min

  11. Bulgac said

    Thank you very much, I needed that.
    I knew about this movie maker, but not in too much settings.

  12. egasus08 said

    It is a very simple software. I've used it before. From what I hear (to be honest I have not used yet), Sony Vegas is a really good, compared to Movie Maker. Movie Maker is made for beginners who want to make a video not too professional, but faster, compared to sony vegas is a more complex software.
    A friend told me that he tested both and found they say a problem sony vegas: cica out file size much bigger than movie maker and file size is an issue and you do catch. Especially if you capture screen-15 20 more minutes.
    What must to do when file size is so big? (Preferably without great loss of quality)

  13. pintea said

    very good, but I'm tired of it I want to try something else, can you do the tutorial with Sony Vegas or something else, thanks, bravo…

  14. I forgot to mention: on FileList you need an account if you want to download… on ThePirateBay it is possible without it, but there I only found Windows 7 and Vista SP1 (it's also good SP1, but you have a lot of updates to do).

  15. stefbabanu said

    I answer the question

  16. Good tutorial .. I still have a question .. can I somehow get my voice out of a song and only my negative remains?

    • This can only be done in a studio. The software will not be able to make a negative than that sounds pathetic.

  17. Very cool, thanks, and I look forward to a tutorial in Windows Movie Maker 7

  18. There are good video editing software like Edius Neo (I use, but there are other more professionally, it has a very good support for HD) and is shi Pinnacle Studio (v.14 knows how to work with video 3D) The problem with this software is that that cost money but it is also their trial versions.

    Very good and helpful this Tutorial.Chiar expect a tutorial on Movie Maker. Congratulations Adrian.

  20. Does anyone know why I can not see any tutorial on the site?

      drama: Does anyone know why I can not see any tutorial on the site?

      perhaps you need flash player

      • dragos_florin:
        perhaps you need flash player

        installed flash player and sees toate.nu

        • drama:
          installed flash player and sees toate.nu

          What browser do you use? try to use another browser, we have a tutorial for most browsers on the "market". You see that FlashPlayer is of 2 types, one is only for Internet Explorer and another is for other browsers like Google Chrome, Opera, Safari etc. what appears to you in the place where the Player with the tutorial should be? Try clearing your browser cache…

          • Yeah, thanks mult.am clean browser cache and merge.multumesc again and good luck in everything you do

  21. cossmyn said

    Good tutorial! But here, as you said, it's about home-users. If you want pro editing, try an Adobe Premiere. And in connection with my problem with the grub on Ubuntu… I solved. And if it's still about Ubuntu tries to present Avidemux… also for home-users… but it's on Ubuntu. Pitivi is a bit "small"… I say. All good and keep it up !!! You're strong !!!

  22. Bravo! Very good tutorial! You look at Windows 7.

  23. super cool, congratulations for the video tutorial very nice and easy to use …… .of course when he has someone to tell you what and how))

  24. Windows Movie Maker on advanced 7 is not it, that's all that does not come installed with Windows, however you can get free with Windows Live package. I like to do stuff more videos, mixes, etc. If you want something more advanced and perhaps most advanced as with After Effects Premiere Pro from Adobe trial

So I run a windows received from a neighbor, no code or number, but stay with Automatic Update and Microsoft says it's open to original and updates hard. I know the one stolen from the net not open Automatic update not to see, or that what I have done so well that it looks like an original? Question: and Windows this is dangerous and one on the net? I hope you understand now.

    • I just happens. I worked a lot with Movie Maker and I got angry as much, for all that I cast out, and when returning, some of the files are damaged and must be reloaded. Almost every 3-5 min gives error.
      That the pictures.
      Short films made on the camera, I wanted to stick 3 each other. I saved, but when I watched with VLC player, the first one was ok, the rest jerky and shaky images.
      I'm not at all happy with Movie Maker !!! And because I have to work a lot with it (because it still brings out, with a lot of nerves, movies with nice effects), I wrote them to Windows Ro, I told them about the fact that they throw me out, I sent PrintScreens, error files… but did not respond.
      If you were to give notice of this program, I would not give more than 5.
