Just be aware that this free software offers only the basics, so you may outgrow it quickly, and may find yourself stepping up to an app such as Adobe’s $100 Premiere Elements.Windows Essentials is a pack of applications released by Microsoft to group different email, instant messaging and photo sharing programs, that became a comprehensive part of the operating system with the release of Windows 8, and therefore, stopped receiving updates. If you’re looking for a drop-dead simple way to create good-looking slideshows and movies, Windows Live Movie Maker 2011 can handle the task. Note that all of these options save your movie as a Windows Media Audio/Video file, though–no alternative video formats supported here. Movie Maker also lets you share your movie via e-mail, burn it right to a DVD, or save it on your desktop. You also have the option to format it for viewing on a mobile device, though the only devices listed in the menu or Windows Phones or Zune portable media players. You can upload it directly to YouTube, Facebook, Windows Live SkyDrive, Flickr, or Windows Live Groups. Once you’ve completed your movie, Movie Maker presents you with several options for sharing it. If you’re looking for more advanced effects, you’re out of luck–Movie Maker 2011 really is designed for producing basic (though polished) movies, and fast. You also can add captions and credits, and a soundtrack, if you’d like.
If you’re feeling more ambitious, you can customize your movie a bit more, by trimming and splitting videos panning and zooming adding varied transitions adjusting brightness and adding visual effects, like black and white or sepia tones. You can select one of four AutoMovie themes, which will create your movie for you, adding a title and transitions. With the files imported, the storyboard makes it easy to visualize your finished movie, and to rearrange its contents as you’re working.
