I would like to make movies with a new Movie Maker version with:
- Timeline - We want it back! and enable snapping.
- Enable objects in the video, like the channel icon.
- Direct uploading to YouTube.
- Metro tiles, with a fresh new tile design.
hey stardust.. you can do all these editing in latest windows movie maker and also edit your movies and choose a theme too..
Version 6.0.6001.18341 does all that and is not dependent of Win version, works for me on W7, 8.1 and 10TP.
MM Vista 2.6
How to Install Windows Movie Maker 6.0 on Windows 7 (probably works for Win8 and Win10 - not sure)
Mine is in a folder by itself, no installation needed, it was downloaded from MS couple of years ago.
From where do you get this version number. I have a completely different number.
This is the one I have on Win8.1 the other number came from MM I have on W10TP.
MM in Vista was a standalone version, far superior in my opinion.
For reasons unknown to me, MS dropped many features from the Windows Essentials version.
The standalone version does work (not sure about Win8, I did this quite a while ago), but I recall there is some trick to getting it to work. Unfortunately I don't recall the trick. It might be in the tutorial I linked, or I might have found it in a search. It is a relatively easy 'fix' once it is identified.
On the other hand, some brain cells don't react well to age
I could be completely wrong. Mike has it working, I defer to him if you decide to investigate for yourself.
I actually like the current Movie Maker. I use it quite a lot. And if I need a timeline, I use Camtasia. I never liked the old Vista version because the output quality was terrible.
Just a tip - if you want completely lossless editing, use Machete. It requires a bit of knowledge of Key frames and formats.
Yep I have the same as Wolfgang it seems fine to me
