Use Windows Moviemaker to Create a Multimedia Presentation               moviemaker

Windows Moviemaker is found as an application on all versions of Windows XP and Vista.  It is a relatively easy tool to use in conjunction with images to produce a multimedia presentation.  You could use the tool in PowerPoint to add audio and create the multimedia automated component, but the file becomes very large and unmanagable for online use even through streaming.  


Windows Moviemaker has tools that will simplify your creation of a movie file.  This file will be in a .wmv format of course, and will only be viewable by Windows based movie viewers.  It is possible to convert the file to other formats through free online tools which we will discuss at the end of this tutorial.

For the purposes of this tutorial we will focus on making a simple short movie using slides originally created in PowerPoint.  I will make the assumption that you already know how to make a PowerPoint slide.  We will bring these slides into Windows Moviemaker and add an audio component and even explore how to add credits at the end.

Microsoft does have a information page on Moviemaker.  Feel free to take a look at it, as it has some good information and even some projects that you could try on your own.
