As of today, Windows Live Movie Maker is officially out of beta and available to download for FREE as part of the Windows Live Essentials suite.

Victor Santodomingo, Windows Live Movie Maker Engine Development Lead, joined me in the studio to demonstrate the new Movie Maker in action and to discuss how his team developed a brand new engine that processes in 3D space to take advantage of Direct X capabilities and GPU effects.

If you have any comments or questions about the new Windows Live Movie Maker please leave then in the comments section below and we will follow up with Victor and his team.

Great to see WLMM progress so much! I think I'll be using it a lot in the near future - have to catch up with postproduction of my user group meeting videos Smiley

WOOH! WOOH!

I've got a music track on top of the audio of a video, how do I control the volume of either one... ie, how do I adjust the audio of the video... and how do I control the volume of the music track?

if you click on the video, the videos tab would be visible. The first control in the tab is the video volume. Similarly, if you are under an audio or selected an audio, the audio tab will be visible and it has a volume control. The video, audio, text are contextual tabs. Meaning they will be visible if there is a video, audio or text at the current playhead position.

Is it possible to change the preview and clip orientation so that the clips show below the preview, similar to "film strip" Explorer view?

No, but I did spoof Google Chrome to appear as if I am on a mac. That is certainly why.

 

chrome.exe -user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us) AppleWebKit/530.19.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.2 Safari/530.19

 

Reason being, my school uses Outlook Live, and Exchange 2010 only supports the full experience on Safari on the Mac. Kinda lame. It works perfectly fine in Chrome on Windows. The things I have to do to use the browser I want...

What a great demo.. shows us the features and how to use it.. and also goes into the backend and tells us about the engine.

WLMM look like a great piece of work from both a usability and engineering perspective.. I will be testing this out very soon... and telling everyone about it. Thanks guys.

I've not watched the video... but did DL the final version... very impressive, especially comapred to the earlier betas.

 

Only time will tell if I quit using Expression Encoder instead of Movie Maker for basic editing jobs.
