As mentioned, all the available editing features are available under the Edit button in the Ribbon. You can split your videos into various segments and even trim them to remove parts you don't want. Note that the app does not delete the trimmed parts. It only hides them and will not show them up during playback.basic functionssplit your videos into various segmentsAnother nifty feature is the option to adjust the audio levels of your clip. With this, you can make the audio louder or softer. Even better, you can adjust the volume on specific parts of the clip. The 2012 version even allows easier integration of music. Now, you can look up music from services, such as Vimeo, Free Music Archive, and AudioMicro. The video timeline also features a WAV form, so you can easily see where audio is placed within the video.adjust the audio levelseasier integration of musicVimeoWAV formOf course, video editing will not be complete without effects and transitions. The app has a wide variety of transitions that you can apply. Not only that, but it has an incredibly user-friendly way of creating seamless transitions. It employs a drag-and-drop mechanism, so you only have to drop your chosen transition to a part in your timeline to apply it. Moreover, you can adjust the duration from a quarter of a second to two seconds.wide variety of transitionsdrag-and-dropmechanismadjust the durationWindows Movie Maker also comes stocked with a deep set of visual flair to add to your clips via effects. Like the transition, applying video effects is as easy as clicking your choice. The app even allows you to preview your options to make sure you can make the best choice. In addition, you can also add text to your videos, such as a movie title, credits, and captions.video effectspreview your optionsadd textOnce you've put up all the finishing touches, you can then publish your output. Windows Movie Maker takes advantage of hardware acceleration, which speeds up video exporting and encoding. Not only that, but it also gives you the ability to share your finished product to various platforms, such as Facebook, Vimeo, and Youtube. If sharing on social media isn't your thing, you can also save it to your computer or burn the movie to DVD.hardware accelerationFacebookYoutubesocial mediacomputer or burn the movie to DVD.Wrapping upWindows Movie Maker is a video editing tool for beginners and wanna-be editors. The app has all the tools you may need to edit your clips. More than that, it comes with an easy-to-use interface that makes the process easier. It still cannot hold a candle to professional editors. Nevertheless, for basic editing, it is more than enough. for basic editing, it is more than enough.
