Windows Movie Maker = Good Videos

Postby Larz » Thu Oct 31, 2002 3:26 pm

I have been using and making Anime Music Videos with Windows Movie Maker for 3 years now, and I love the program. There are a couple of things that bug me about the program but overall it's my favorite video-editing program. Just all the timing conventions, and everything. I know a lot of people hate the program, but I am one of very few that really like the program. I have done so much with the program, It's so a good program. If any of you have any questions about making a video, using Windows Movie Maker, just ask me, and I'll tell you.

Do you honestly prefer it over Premiere? I've messed around with WMM for a few hours, and I would take Premiere over WMM any day.

you're so limited when using WMM and to say that it's your fav. program makes me wonder how many *different* programs you really have used. But hey, to each their own.

Adobe Premiere

Well, I think Adobe Premiere is the best program you can have if you want to make really good MVids... ^^

This is standing already in more posts than I can count, but anyway, you could use EasyDivX (what I use, uncomplicated, quite fast, and its freeware) to rip DVDs in one step to DivX avis. But I would recommend reading AbsoluteDestiny's and Ermac's Guide for getting the most out of your source.

While we're on the subject, where can I get a coppy of WMM? I tried the microsoft site and couldnt find it anywhere. He is some technical stuff:
OS: Windows 98 OR 2000 Office Professional.
License: FREE
If anyone knows where I can get this or maybe a program like it witht he above qualifications, it would be most appreciated.

Thank you for your time and concern.

It only comes with XP Pro and ME. You can't find it for download anywhere, unless somebody zips the program files up, uploads it to their webspace and then gives you the link.

I can zip it an email it...But in regards to putting a link on my site...No BS like wmm is going to be there, bad enough it's on my comp...But that's what goes with XP I guess...Can't delete the f***er off my comp...

btw There are two free software programs out there that I know of...
WMM and MovieXone...Have used both and MovieXone is better than WMM...But Premiere kicks arse over both programs...Unless your stupid enough to shell out about $600, when your friends get it for free... :cry:

wmm blows but wmm2 is shweeet. better than some fucken 500 dollar 'premiere' shit. with wmm2 you can add effects, transitions, animated titles and credits, with so many options, and you can change the quality and all this awsome stuff. premiere can lick my wang for being so expensive and making it so using it will consume weeks of your life, while making a great video with wmm2 only takes 1-3 hours depending on your effort.

I'd just like to chip in my opinion being a newbie who's just converted.

WMM is easy to learn. I made my first 2 AMVs using it but got frustrated at the lack of options.

Premiere is a BIG step up IMO, but after wrestling with it for a coupla a weeks I'm VERY excited at the possibilities. I just finished my first AMV using it and will use it for the foreseeable future.

However, my very first AMV had such a strong cocept, I don't know if I'll ever top it... :lol:
