B&H. I got them about a month ago. They were going fast. :)

Go to the lower left corner where the "Search" box is and type in "Video Editor" and the W10 video editor comes up.


It's in the Photos app.

Windows Movie Maker is a good place to start.


Where've you been? Windows Movie Maker does not exist in Windows 10. Any video capabilities Win 10 has are in the Photos app.

I does exist in Windows 10 if your Windows 10 is an upgrade. In other words, it does not go away.

Okay, so the first boatload sold out. A quick check of 13 dealers found no one had them in stock, and most of them said, "new item coming soon," or similar.

In other words, a new computer with Windows 10, or a fresh install of Windows 10, does not have Windows Movie Maker as a standalone program.

So, don't assume a user writing to UHH has it.

The link to the YouTube video I posted above has links to MovieMaker Installers. It would be interesting to hear from a user of a new computer whether they still work. We get this same sort of question here every now and again...

(I'm on a Mac and don't use a newer copy of Win 10. And yes, I occasionally run Windows on my Mac.)

You're welcome. That's why I clip lapel mics on people for interviews. It's why I put a shotgun mic on a boom pole and hold it above talent's heads. It's why I use wireless mic transmitters near a source, and wireless receivers at the camera...

When we participate in the 48 Hour Film Project in a couple of weeks, we will use a wireless transmitter and a shotgun mic on a boom pole. We will use two cameras, and use the awful audio on one of them to synchronize to the other one that we plug the mic into.

"Get close..." the number one rule of audio.

Getting close great advice. Perhaps this video by Ray Ortega can help. There's a demonstration of getting close, eliminating noise, and a wonderful microphone for a boom. It's the Audio Technica AT4053b, a short hyper cardioid microphone, it's shown being used on a boom, and positioned and repositioned close. Much can be learnt from this video.

Windows Movie Maker was part of a group called Windows Live Essentials 2012. The "installer" was actually a link to an online installer at Microsoft. There was not a free-standing full installer, such as could be saved and used by itself. I know. I made the mistake of saving the "installer" in my software archive for later use. When Microsoft discontinued support for Windows Live Essentials in 2017, the "installer" I had saved became a link to nothing.

The "Windows Movie Maker", or plain "Movie Maker" downloads you see online now are not the genuine Microsoft app as MS provided it.
They could be a real functioning program using the MS name, or somehow-pirated installers, or they could be malware. You don't know what they are until you install them.

go to www.filehippo.com and search for video processors. Most are free, and most of the fee packages have trials you can download. or take the easy way and settle for Adobe elements.

I have the Photoshop/Lightroom package so use Photoshop's video capabilities. It's not as good as some of the dedicated software but lets me use all the filters and such in Photoshop. I've had a couple of videos that were too dark to use and lightened them to usability with PS. I use Corel VideoStudio V7 for the few finished videos that I do.

I've used Corel Video Studio for years now and I'm pretty happy with it. It's not free but it is fairly inexpensive and it does what I need to do for my amateur productions.

It may not suit a professional videographer but it is fairly easy to use and entirely adequate for my glorified slide-shows. And it now comes with some decent music that is royalty free and legal to use with no complications.
