Do it yourself
Now that you've seen what Movie Maker can do, read these articles for more detailed instructions on how to add a professional touch to your movie:
Add transitions and special effects. Transitions fade, flip, or slide one scene into the next. Special effects change the way a video clip appears by changing the speed or brightness, or by making the video look old. Movie Maker has dozens of fun and useful transitions and special effects.
Add titles and credits. With just a few clicks, you can add a professional-looking title to your movie and list the stars in rolling credits at the end. You can also use titles in the movie to introduce people or places.
Add music. Nothing sets the tone of a movie like music. Add some tropical music to set a relaxing tone for a vacation movie, or use a hip-hop beat to set a fast pace for a sports highlights movie.
Add narration. If you were to watch a home movie with friends in your living room, you'd probably describe where you were in each scene and tell funny stories that happened off-camera. With narration, your stories become part of your movie, so your friends across the Internet and around the world can hear them, too.
Once your movie is polished, learn how to save your movie and share it with your friends.
