What do you like best about Windows Movie Maker?

WMM (Windows Movie Maker) unlocked so many doors with such ease and transparency toward the simplicity of aiming at the incredible and then being ENABLED to share One's Dreamscapes across the World Wide Web ... It was a cry for Freedom of Expression that had been finally heard afar and brought Home like a gift on a Dreamer's Pillow xxx

I don't like WMM - I love WMM xxx

... because Yous made me start dreaming bigger and better ...

... and now, with a New Operating System i am setting out on a New Journey as I accumulate little snappets of Life around me to decorate with enhanced effects, sounds, colours and spectrums of endless rainbows ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows Movie Maker?

The saddest part about my relationship with WMM was that my pocket could not afford a newer version of an Operating System and I became more and more dismayed as less and less my Movie Maker worked for me ...

... and no One could help ...

... yup, losing Yous was hard ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windows Movie Maker solving and how is that benefiting you?

My intense desire to really-really make a movie from 'scratch' is giving my sinking lifeboat bouyancy which in turn keeps my Nature and Surround happily occupied with growing enthusiasm to share once more before my pocket sighs yet again ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows Movie Maker?

I used this to concatenate a lot of my fitness videos which is the feature I love most about this software - other than the fact it's completely free with Windows (o/s) and very easy to use. It's extremely easy even for the non technically inclined amongst us to drag, drop videos into the order desired, and put in slides seperating/ explaining the content as well. This is a great service from MS/Windows! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Windows Movie Maker?

Not much to dislike. Very easy to use as I've said above. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windows Movie Maker solving and how is that benefiting you?

Editing videos - shuffling multiple videos and/or concatenating them into one big video - this was an issue this superlatively good software helped us resolve very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Windows Movie Maker?

Windows Movie Maker suffers from being severely outdated, and is left behind by more modern video production software, both in features and functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Windows Movie Maker solving and how is that benefiting you?

Windows Movie Maker generally won't solve any business issues. It's a hobbyist set of tools for hobbyist video producers. Professionals will need more powerful and fully featured software like Adobe Premiere, Davinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
