2. What is MovieMaker?
• MovieMaker is a program that lets you
create and edit your own movies.
• You can do this using pictures, video and
audio.
• You can add special effects and transitions
to make your movie really stand out.
3. So, How Do I Begin?
• First, create a folder where you
can keep all of your files relating
to the project.
• It is very important to keep
EVERYTHING (pictures and audio)
within this folder.
• You will collect all of your files
FIRST before you begin building
your movie.
4. So, How Do I Begin?
• Search for “moviemaker” in the
Windows 8 search. Hint: Put your
mouse pointer in the top RIGHT
corner of your screen, then select
the magnifying glass
• Next, you will open a new project
in MovieMaker
• Go ahead and save your project
in your folder or on a flash drive
6. Be Aware…
Of copyright and legal issues
when looking online for images,
audio or video clips
Use the LibGuide to collect your
images and sounds
Of not saving your movie correctly.
Once you are completely finished
and do not need to make any more
edits, then you may save your movie
file.
7. Now it’s your turn…
From your My Computer folder, find the
:P drive.
Look for the folder “Media Resources”
There are a variety of both audio and
video clips for you to use.
Open these files, save them to your
computer (remember to put everything in
one folder!) and make a mini-movie.
Be creative!
