What is Windows Movie Maker?

Windows Movie Maker is a discontinued video editing program developed by Microsoft that was part of the Windows operating system until 2017. Although it was replaced by Video Editor, the software still provides good video and audio editing features so you can create your clips and videos in a simple and reliable environment.

What are the key features of Windows Movie Maker?

• Simple interface: Whether you have a video editing background or not, you will quickly learn all the features Windows Movie Maker offers. Thanks to its simple interface, you can achieve everything quickly.
• Create: Once your video is imported, you can access many tools to achieve what you want. For example, you can split your video into various segments, trim the parts you don't want, adjust the audio levels on specific parts, add texts, effects and filters, and create smooth and personalized transitions throughout your video.
