Description:
Making movies on your computer is a lot of fun. And if you have Microsoft Windows Vista, you already have everything you need to do it. In this hands-on course, you'll learn how to use Vista's Movie Maker to create your own digital movies.
We'll start with the absolute basics for beginners. You'll find out how to open the Movie Maker program, recognize and use its features, and bring video files into the program for editing. Then you'll learn to create your own video clips so you can pick and choose which video you want to use in a movie and what you want to edit out.
You'll see how to add special effects, titles, credits, still photos, sound effects, custom background music, and voice narration to your movie. And you'll get hands-on practice at every step of the process as you turn so-so video from a video camera into a fun, professional-quality movie you'll be proud to share with family and friends.
Speaking of sharing, you'll also learn how to share your movie through e-mail, YouTube, and CDs. And if you have (or acquire) the Home Premium or Ultimate version of Windows Vista, you can even create your own DVDs to watch on TV!
