HOW TO MAKE A VIDEO WITH WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER

TUTORIAL BY kobefor3ITSGOOD

1. The first step of making a video is to import your clips, games, etc. into Windows Movie Maker. To do this, go to File --> Import Into Collections and select the file.



2. Do this repeatedly with all the clips that you would like to use.

3. You must now import a song to use with the video. Again, go to File --> Import Into Collections and select the song that you would like to use.

4. Click on Collections and select the song. Drag and drop the song into the beginning of the timeline (make sure you drop it right next to the audio/music row).



5. Go to Tools --> Audio Levels and move it all the way to audio/music (completely away from audio from video).



6. Click on Show Storyboard and go to the storyboard view.

7.Click on the name of the file you want to use. Select the section of the file you would like to use and cut it out. Do this by using the “split tool”.







8. Now drag the part you would like to use into the first frame.



9. To add effects, just right click on the frame and go to Video Effects. Highlight and effect you would like to add and click on add to move it over to the right. You can use multiple effects on 1 clip. Then click OK. (Note: I strongly recommend that you do not use too many effects. Too many effects are bad and hurt people’s eyes.

10. Now repeat steps 7-9 and try to match the music to the clips the best you can. You can view your project by going to Play --> Play storyboard.



11. When you have finished your video, it is now time to export and share it online! Go to File-->Save Movie File. It will ask you where you want to save your movie to. Click my computer and then next. Select a filename and destination for your video. Select the quality that you would like to save. It will tell you an estimated file size of the file. Click OK.



12. Upload and share it!
