Windows Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker is an easy-to-use video editor that you can use to edit your own movies from various clips, photos, or audio files. This version of Windows Maker comes with the free November 2002 update for Windows XP. This means, among other things, that this software is not compatible with Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 10, or Windows 11.

Compatible with a host of formats

When editing videos with Windows Movie Maker, you can import several different file formats; the following ones are supported: WMV, ASF, MPG (MPEG-1), AVI, WMA, WAV, and MP3. You can also import images in JPG, PNG, or BMP formats. Once you have imported your files, you can manipulate and work on them freely.

Lots of fun transitions

One of Movie Maker's most characteristic features is its transitions. This version includes over a dozen transitions to bridge the imported clips. You will have very simple and unobtrusive transitions at your disposal, but you can also use the more elaborate Star Wipe transition, for example.

Simple and easy-to-use video editor

Windows Movie Maker's main attraction, compared to similar programs, is precisely its simplicity and ease of use. The app has no advanced features, no vast range of image filters, no automatic subtitle tool, or anything like that. The program's core purpose is to allow you to edit simple videos and nothing more.

The classic Windows video editor

Download Windows Movie Maker if you want a lightweight and easy-to-use video editing tool. However, you must remember that the program is only compatible with Windows XP, so if you use a higher version of the operating system, you will probably not even be able to install the app.
