The only types that have consistently worked are the native import types of DV-AVI (mini-DV camcorder) and WMV. And there's always been an issue with getting certain file types to import and edit correctly. Movie Maker has been a place where you can quickly bring in your camcorder footage, trim and reorder clips, overlay some music, add some titles (along with captions and credits) then save the results out as a movie file.įrom there it has often been hard to get that to the point where it can be shared (a 10MB limitation on e-mailing, a separate step for uploading to a video site like YouTube, extra software for burning the movie onto a DVD). The underlying tenet of the Windows Movie Maker team has always been to make an extremely easy-to-use program for editing movies.
