Windows Movie Maker

The simple, easy, fast way to make movie magic in class

It takes just a few minutes to import still pictures, video clips, and music from your PC to Windows Movie Maker and create a polished movie. You can also create artistic flair with easy-to-use video editing enhancements, such as black-and-white output and a variety of visual effects. Then follow the step-by-step instructions to publish and share via the Web, mobile device, or a DVD.

Engage, entertain, and educate by creating movies to teach varied subjects:

• Have historical events come alive with period music, fashion, and architecture
• Illustrate complex development stages in science by morphing a series of pictures together to show process
• Demonstrate things and concepts that you can’t bring to class
• Create lively class discussions by sharing classic movie clips and relating them to current events
• Inspire everyone to give their best with a star turn in the class movie
• Help encourage the next generation of producers, writers, directors, and actors
