Getting Started with Windows Live Movie Maker

When you are working with Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can select the initial pictures and videos you want to work with, click Make and then click "Make a Movie" to open Windows Live Movie Maker with these items selected. Otherwise, you can start Windows Live Movie Maker by clicking Starts-All Programs^-Windows Lives-Windows Live Movie Maker.

As Table 10-4 shows, Windows Live Movie Maker works with a wide variety of image, sound, and video formats. This list is different from the formats supported by Windows DVD Maker. The key change is that Windows Live Movie Maker supports AIFF and AU sound formats, and Windows DVD Maker does not.

Windows Live Movie Maker can open Windows Movie Maker project files with the file extension .mswmm. When you open a Movie Maker project file, it is imported and converted to the Windows Live Movie Maker format. If you later save the project, it will be saved with the file extension .wlmp.
