Save as a Movie
Now that your movie is complete, you may wish to save the project in a different format. Saving the project and saving the movie are two different things.
The movie project is the working file so that you may continue to edit until you have a final version of your work completed.
The movie file is the final output of your movie. Windows Movie Maker compresses all the parts of your movie into a single unit. The file size is much smaller so that it can be used on a web site or emailed.
You also have the option to create a CD or DVD of your movie. These options are all under the heading Finish Movie.
It is always a good idea to keep your project file readily available. You cannot edit a compressed movie file. If you find that you wish to edit your project file for any reason, you can always make a new movie file.
