Chapter 1: Basic Tutorial
In the first chapter, it guides you on how to open your Windows Movie Maker application which resides in your computer (for Windows Operating System). If you are having Windows Movie Maker 1.9, you could upgrade it to version 2.1! However, the latest version requires Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Next, the video guides you on how to import materials to build your movie! You could import all your pictures, musics as well as movie simultaneously (in the same time)
Once you import them all, you can preview these imported items by selecting on it, and press spacebar (if its a video/music). For pictures, select it and it will automatically display on the mini screen located on the left.
After previewing these items to check whether you have not imported the wrong items in, then you could add them into the storyboard/timeline by click + hold + drag. Storyboard is usually used for adding transitions while timeline gives the flexibility to the user, allowing them to place their title or play a certain song at a certain in their movie.
At the end of this chapter, it teaches you how to upload your movie into Youtube. Don't upload MSWMM, upload WMV file.

Chapter 2: Advance Tutorial
In this chapter, it gives a more "detail" view on how to edit the imported items such as cropping, splitting and resizing. For the music, you could do sound effect to them too! For example, fade in and fade out for musics. They are used to not abruptly blast your speakers when they start playing the second song after the first has ended. You could control the music volume if you would like to use a microphone and convery your speech into your video.

Chapter 3 and 4: Previews:-
Watch how I add the transition and video effects to the pictures as well as the videos. Quite smooth ^_^

Extra Notes:-
Oh ya, I have added some previews of the video (encoded / rendered / compiled / created) in different type of wmv formats. Take a look at them to find out which 1 is the best that suits you. In my opinion, I find that Broadband 512 Kbps wmv format processed kinda fast on my computer and this same goes with uploading into Youtube
hi guys! i just wanna clarify the part "Managing Clips" There are 2 ways to manage your clips which are "Combine" and "Split" When you import a large file, lets say a 4 minute file, windows movie maker will automatically split those into smaller clips. If you want to add all of those clips into your storyboard, select all the clips, right click, choose combine. Then drag the combined clips into your storyboard. To undo, simply select all, right click, choose create clips. You could use CTRL + Z (undo) or CTRL + Y (redo)

7. Dj Sephy Tune Up Ravers Fantasy

@whole27 What you are trying to do will not work
WMP is a file PLAYER. In WMM your video has to be PUBLISHED (ie RENDERED >that is COMPRESSED to reduce the size) PUBLISH TO THIS COMPUTER >NEXT> CHOOSE A SETTING
The recommended one in good for YOU TUBE
(WMV) Then> PUBLISH. The vid will then RENDER(Can take hours for a large video) but you will have a file you can play with WMP
or send to You Tube.If you intend importing the file into another video editor choose avi when you PUBLISH

okay, i'm doing it right now...i don't understand tech language:)
Please explain it to me like this is my very first time doing this which it is.
Ok now i have saved the file to Windows Media Player and now i'm transferring that onto my Memory stick....will that work?
I'm on a school computer....i was trying to take the USB out of the computer and put it in my laptop that i have here but it wasn't transferring?? Its too big file for email. How else do i save this thing?

@whole27 You can't save your video onto a memory device. You will only save a SHORTCUT.
just a few kb.You have to RENDER (in WMM it is PUBLISH) to compress the video to a popular file format like wmv.That's good for You Tube.If you want to continue editing in another computer you will need to RENDER the part you have done say to avi,save it in a folder then copy it to the second computer and open in your editor.Still it might be a million dollar sensation.
whole27 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
yeah i can't save my video either.....i use a public computer so should i save it on so that i can take it home with me and later continue to edit my video and upload to youtube?
DVD-R ok?
I can never get my camera to "Back UP' my videos onto my laptop?? It never goes through???
whole27 (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
i saved my edited video on a memory cause i had nothing else at the time...can i still retrieve the video via the memory stick at this point???
Help!!!!
