Windows Movie Maker

With the new Windows Movie Maker feature in Microsoft Windows Me, home video editing has now become a breeze. Editing that once required thousands of dollars worth of equipment  and several hours now can be done in a few minutes at not even a fraction of the previous cost.

Take any home video camera, attach the adapter and connect to your computer - that's all it takes to put the world at your fingertips. Do you have a favorite movie that you would like to send a clip of to someone thousands of miles away? Import the video, edit, format into AVI and send via e-mail. Easy as that. With Windows Movie Maker, you can now store video, view still frames, add special effects (narration, background music, sound effects and more), create slide shows and many more. Enjoy!
