Windows Movie Maker
Movie Maker is a free PC-based video editing platform that is often included with Windows-based computers. It is free from Microsoft, but only available to Windows users running Windows XP or newer. Movie Maker allows inexperienced movie makers an opportunity to edit video without great technical skill or advanced video editing knowledge. The results can be impressive, but there are many limitations that more experienced video editors dislike. It is a flexible program, however, and its availability on most school's computers make it a useful resource for educators. This is an excellent program for beginners just starting their video editing/film creation journey.
