Windows Live Movie Maker (codename Sundance) is a video creating/editing software that is a part of Microsoft's Windows Live initiative. It is intended to replace Windows Movie Maker that is currently included in Windows Vista, similar to the way Windows Live Photo Gallery and Windows Live Mail replaced Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Mail, respectively. Windows Live Movie Maker is a complete rewrite of the Windows Movie Maker application, focusing on the needs of Windows Live Photo Gallery users;[1] as such, it requires Windows Live Photo Gallery (Wave 3) to be installed. The program includes a redesigned ribbon interface similar to Windows Paint in Windows 7.
The application was released in beta form as part of Wave 3 of the Windows Live suite of products on September 17, 2008.[1] Windows Live Movie Maker was officially released on August 19, 2009.
Windows Live Movie Maker is not compatible with versions of Microsoft Windows prior to Windows Vista. [2]
Windows Live Movie Maker allows users to publish videos to YouTube, as well as make an HD video. It has received much criticism, however, over its removal of most of the features of the older versions, particularly the timeline. In this manner, Windows Live Movie Maker parallels many of the same criticisms of iMovie 08. Supporters of the older Movie Maker versions say that the software is now not fit for video editing at anything beyond the most basic level.
