Planning a Movie Maker Project

Today i was just surfing through a book and got these information which might interest you!


Windows Live Movie Maker lets you combine video, audio, ans image files to create movies and slides shows you can publish ans show on your computer or CD/ DVD, e-mail to others, or place on a web pages or mobile device. You save the movie you create as a file, just as you would save a word processing or spread sheet file, and you can play and view it at any time. However, movies and their accompanying files are larger than most other documents you create-usually exceeding 5 MB. Before you begi, it's a good idea to plan your content.


Decide the purpose of the movie:
Your movie might be a promotional piece or catalog for business use, or a vacation movie to share with family and friends. Your purpose determines the subject, type, and quality of the source material, which is teh video and audio material you will use.



Determine how to share the movie with others:
You might want to show your movie on a computer projection screen at a meeting, send it as a attachment in an e-mail message, or place it on a web site. When you place a movie on a web site, viewers might download it, which means to transfer it to their computers and store it for future viewing. If your movie is very long or has many high-quality images, the movie file will be larger and will take a long time to download.


Choose source material:
If you have a digital video or digital web camera, you can record or capture digital images, and then import them into Movie Maker. To use existing video or audio segments, called clips, you must import them, or bring them into Movie Maker.


Sketch the movie:
Before putting your movie together in Movie maker, it's important to make a sketch of your movie that shows the order of the audio and video components. What audio clips do you want to play with what video clips?


Review the process used to create a movie:
First, you bring clips of source material into a Movie Maker project file. A project file, which is the working copy of your movie, is a Movie maker document with the file name extension.mswmm. You then use the project file to do the following: set the order of your movie segments; trim portions of clips you don't want to use; specify how clips display from one to the next, called transitions; add a video special effect to clips; add titles and credits to the beginning and end of the movie or individual clips; and, lastly, preview your work. Finally, you save your project file as a move with the file name extension .wmv and display the completed movie using the Windows Media Player Programs.
