Chapter 1: Basic Tutorial
In the first chapter, it guides you on how to open your Windows Movie Maker application which resides in your computer (for Windows Operating System). If you are having Windows Movie Maker 1.9, you could upgrade it to version 2.1! However, the latest version requires Windows XP Service Pack 2.

Next, the video guides you on how to import materials to build your movie! You could import all your pictures, musics as well as movie simultaneously (in the same time)

Once you import them all, you can preview these imported items by selecting on it, and press spacebar (if its a video/music). For pictures, select it and it will automatically display on the mini screen located on the left.

After previewing these items to check whether you have not imported the wrong items in, then you could add them into the storyboard/timeline by click + hold + drag. Storyboard is usually used for adding transitions while timeline gives the flexibility to the user, allowing them to place their title or play a certain song at a certain in their movie.

At the end of this chapter, it teaches you how to upload your movie into Youtube. Don't upload MSWMM, upload WMV file.

Chapter 2: Advance Tutorial

In this chapter, it gives a more "detail" view on how to edit the imported items such as cropping, splitting and resizing. For the music, you could do sound effect to them too! For example, fade in and fade out for musics. They are used to not abruptly blast your speakers when they start playing the second song after the first has ended. You could control the music volume if you would like to use a microphone and convery your speech into your video.

Chapter 3 and 4: Previews:-
Watch how I add the transition and video effects to the pictures as well as the videos. Quite smooth ^_^

Extra Notes:-
Oh ya, I have added some previews of the video (encoded / rendered / compiled / created) in different type of wmv formats. Take a look at them to find out which 1 is the best that suits you. In my opinion, I find that Broadband 512 Kbps wmv format processed kinda fast on my computer and this same goes with uploading into Youtube

hi guys! i just wanna clarify the part "Managing Clips" There are 2 ways to manage your clips which are "Combine" and "Split" When you import a large file, lets say a 4 minute file, windows movie maker will automatically split those into smaller clips. If you want to add all of those clips into your storyboard, select all the clips, right click, choose combine. Then drag the combined clips into your storyboard. To undo, simply select all, right click, choose create clips. You could use CTRL + Z (undo) or CTRL + Y (redo)

Ayumi's Diary:-
If you have notice how I have created this video, I tried to synchronize the video to the music rhythm. Yea! You learn something new from here too. This video has lots of DDR and Techno musics. This tutorial can help you create movies for maple story (maplestory), warcraft, or school project presentation

Techno Songs:
1. Show Me the Light
2. Sleepless
3. Better of Alone
4. Technoville
5. Paradise Remix
6. It's a dream
7. Dj Sephy Tune Up Ravers Fantasy

(credits to w/e theHelper.net for the musics!)

Is there any way to pan the video clip in a specific direction? Or can all we do is just click "Zoom In"?

i have this problem pzzzzzzzzzzz help me The file C:\Users\Administrator\Documen ts\RevoStock Royalty Free Stock Video Footage Pretty Chamomile Blowing In The Gentle Breeze.flv cannot be imported because the codec required to play the file is not installed on your computer. If you have already tried to download and install the codec, close and restart Windows Movie Maker, and then try to import the file again.
