Chapter 11. Making Movies with Windows Live Movie Maker

If you've played with FlipShare on your Windows PC, you know how you can use it to quickly and easily transform videos you record with your Flip camera into movies you can share with others. But if you want to make fancier movies with your PC, consider graduating from FlipShare and moving up to Windows Live Movie Maker for your PC.

In This Chapter

With Windows Live Movie Maker, you can turn your videos into finely polished movies that you can upload to video-sharing sites like YouTube, copy to and view on smartphones and portable gadgets like iPhones and iPods, or just watch on your desktop or notebook PC.
