Save Your Project

Before you proceed any further, you should save your project. It is a good idea to do this frequently throughout the movie making process.

From the main menu, choose File > Save Project.

Windows Movie Maker saves the project in the file format .MSWMM which allows for editing at a later time. When your movie is complete, you have additional options for saving the file, so that it may be played in a webpage or emailed, for example. These other options do not allow editing, so it is important to save your working file in the Movie Maker project format.
