Question: What is Windows Movie Maker?
Answer:

Windows Movie Maker is a presentation software program that comes already installed (in most cases) on all Windows computers.

Windows Movie Maker is a fun and easy to use video editing program that allows you to make home movies, photo albums and business presentations. It is a great starter tool to learn the basics of video editing. It is also widely used in schools as a tool for class projects and allows students and teachers to create wonderful graduation presentations of all the goings-on that took place in the school year.

Still pictures, other video clips, sounds, music and narration can all be added to a Windows Movie Maker project. Add titles and rolling credits to give a professional look to your movie. The final version of your project can be exported to a variety of formats that can be read on other computers and on DVD players. They can also be saved in formats so that they are ready to upload to your webpage.
