                         Iwan Surrier created the first editing device, the Moviola, in 1924. A movie clip could be edited and the
                         unnecessary scenes removed using this machine. The device is still in use and is primarily used in Hollywood.



                   1.2 USING VIDEO EDITOR IN WINDOWS XP/7: WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER

                 With the help of Windows Movie Maker, we can make slide shows and home movies on our computers,
                 complete with polished titles, transitions, effects, music, and even narration. Windows Movie Maker allows us
                 to publish our movie and share it with our loved ones.

                 Although Windows Movie Maker is significantly more user-friendly than professional products, its interface is
                 fundamentally identical to most other video editing apps.

                 Windows Movie Maker Interface

                 Below is a description of the interface’s various sections:
                    The name of the current project is displayed in the title bar (new projects are called “Untitled” until you
                    save them with a different name).
                    Most frequently used features like starting new projects, editing files, changing viewing options, etc. are
                    available on the navigation bar.

                                         Movie Tasks/Collections   Storyboard/Timeline

                   The toolbar has shortcut buttons for frequently performed actions (import, save, view, etc).

                   The most frequent movie-making tasks are listed in the Movie Tasks pane and are organised from beginning
                    to end in a logical sequence. It also offers some useful advice.
                   The  Movie  Tasks  pane  changes  to  the  Collections  pane  when  you  click  the  Collections  button  in  the
                    toolbar. All of your collections are listed here, along with video effects and transitions.
