Creating Clips
To make working on the project easier, we can split up a single existing video clip into multiple smaller, more
manageable clips. Depending on where the footage came from, Windows Movie Maker produces it in various
ways. The time stamps that the Digital Video (DV) camera inserts when the source video is first captured,
as well as important frame changes in the video, are used by Windows Movie Maker to produce clips if the
source clip is from a DV camera.
Steps:
Choose the video clip you wish to make clips for in the Contents window.
Select Tools, and after that select Create Clips.
For files that use the DV codec, such as Windows Media Video (WMV) files and Audio-Video Interleaved (AVI),
clips can be generated automatically. The video file displays in Windows Movie Maker as a single huge video
clip for other video file formats since clips cannot always be automatically formed using clip creation. The
larger video clips then have to be manually split into smaller ones.
Adding Titles in a Movie
Title text can be added to your video at a variety of points, such as the start or conclusion, before or after a
clip, or overlaid on top of a clip. The title displays on the screen for the predetermined amount of time, either
by itself or overlaid on top of the video while it plays, and then it vanishes, leaving the video clip or picture
to continue.
Steps:
1. Select the storyboard/timeline place where the title or credits are to be added by clicking there.
2. Select Tools before selecting Titles and Credits.
3. Go to the link that points to the location where the title or credit should be added, and then click it.
4. Type the text you wish to be the title or credit in the box labelled “Enter text for title.”
5. The default animation and format for the title or credit that needs to be placed are displayed on the
monitor after you finish typing the text. Choose what appeals to you.
6. Select “Add Title.”
You can edit/delete the title or even change the duration of the title slide as per your requirement. On the
storyboard/timeline, just click the title and then click on Edit to edit/remove it.
