Ok, when I got my latest computer, it had movie maker (the orignal). At first, I wasn't interested, but soon I should maybe try it. After a few struggles I finally figured out how to make my own movies! Here's how it works: 1. You can use all sorts of videos, pictures, etc. And put them by timelines! 2. You can add special effects to them (as in pictures going smaller, not movie special effects). And you can add credits to them which makes it like a real movie. 4. When you are done with your movie, you can save it as in a movie file (Realplayer). So you might put it on the internet, private, or just for fun.

Well, what ever thing you have, Movie Maker is always a great tool! Buy it, it isn't a waist of money.

I just got this program today, and have only had a few hours to figure it out, but I just don't get it. I consider myself pretty computer savy, and was hoping for something sort of similar to imovie. First off, this thing didn't come with an instruction book. (was it supposed to?) Second, the help part wasn't helpful at all. I was able to create a title, but wasn't able to see what it looks like with the video. When I finally saved a video, all that played when I clicked on it was the sound. I will continue to look on-line for some info on how to work this thing, but so far I am extremely unhappy. The only good thing about it was that it was easy to install, and as far as I can tell, my computer isn't full of crazy worms and viruses caused by the program.

Sadly I cannot give this program a thumbs up. It does not perform any of the functions one might expect of it. Fortunately it was inexpensive as a program so I can use it as a table protector for my coffee cup!
