Video-editing


 * Editing Video in Microsoft Movie Maker**©

I prefer to work in the timeline view instead of the storyboard view. In the bottom task pane of the Movie Maker window you will see a viewing option. If you are looking at the storyboard view, then the option will say "Show Timeline." If you are looking at the timeline view, then the option will say "Show Storyboard." Click on "Show Timeline" to change it to the Timeline view.

Save all videos for editing in a specific folder.

If you want to add another section of video, then drag that clip to the timeline.
 * 1) Open **Microsoft Movie Maker**©.
 * 2) In the **Movie Tasks** task pane click on **Import Video**.
 * 3) All editable clips of the video will appear in the collections box.
 * 4) Click and drag a clip of video to the project timeline.
 * 5) Click the play button in the project timeline to review the clip.

The **Import Pictures** and **Import Audio** functions work the same way. You just drag the photos that you want or the audio that you want to the project timeline. You can change the order of video or photos by dragging them forward or backward on the timeline.


 * Add Transitions to your video**

1. Go to **Tools**, then **Video Transitions** to view available transitions between clips. 2. Drag a transition from the transitions collection box to the timeline and place it between the clips. 3. Play the clips to see how you like it.

1. You can trim a clip by clicking on either the right or left end of the clip and dragging the mouse toward the center. Let up on the mouse to cut that area from the clip.

1. Split a clip by clicking in the timeline right above the clip where you want to split the clip. 2. Go to **Clip**, then **Split**.

1. Save your video by clicking **File**, then **Save Movie File**. 2. The first step of the **Save Movie Wizard** is to choose where to save the video. Choose **My Computer**, then click **Next**. 3. Type a file name for your video, then click **Browse** to find the folder that you need to save the video in. To open folders in the Browse window, click the **+** beside the folder. Then click **Next**. 4. Choose the quality of the video and click **Next**. 5. The video will be saved as a Windows Media Video file.
