WMM comes together with your Windows Operating System. You went for a vacation, took many pictures. Now how do you show your friends and love ones your experience and observations. The most practical way is to make a "movie" out of it and later can even burn to CD and distribute to your love ones.
The way to go about making a movie using WMM ...
1) Select all the images required for the movie.
2) Select a background music or song for the movie, in "wma" format.
3) Put all of the above in one new file folder.
4) Sequence all your images accordingly.
5) Open the windows movie maker (WMM) program.
6) Save as a new project via: File - save project as -
7) Import all the prepared images and song file to the WMM.
8) Drag and place the song file to the "audio/music" timeline.
9) Highlight all the image files and drag the "lot" onto the "video" timeline.
10) Save your project file frequently.
11) Check whether the total images timeline is shorter or longer than the song file.
12) If the images < song, you can either add more images or "extend the time for some of the images.
13) If the images > song, you can either add another song or remove some images.
14) After the images=song timeline, do a check with playback.
15) What you have done so far is only the "basic" movie.
16) It will be more interesting if you continue to fine tune the movie with the following:
a) Effects - fade in/out, ease in/out, etc.
b) Transitions - how the images present itself.
c) Titles and credits.
17) After everything is in order, go to "publish" the song in "wmv" format.
18) One movie with about 2+ minutes duration requires about 9MB of memory.
