<p>Many standard cameras that shoot video use MOV format, which is an Apple format which Windows Movie Maker cannot use. You'll need a converter to convert it to AVI (uncompressed) or WMV (compressed) which Movie Maker can use. Other cameras shoot in different formats, however.<br></p><p>I used Movie Maker for a while, since my camcorder shoots WMV (a Microsoft filetype) files. Recently I switched to VideoSpin by Pinnacle, which is very similar but has a lot more capabilities: a sound library (although I use audio from prototype videos I've shot), TWO audio tracks available (instead of one in Movie Maker), and better titles and effects. It's free, has tutorials (I didn't watch them, but the program is very professionally done, so I assume they're pretty good) and you can download it here: </p><p>[url]http://cdnexpress.pinnaclesys.com/CDN/VideoSpin/2_0/VideoSpin_2_0_Setup.exe?language=EN[/url] </p><p>They are both easy to use, and are good examples of beginner-intermediate video editing software. </p><p>Here's a tutorial I created on how to produce model railroad videos using Movie Maker (the program includes good tutorials, but my tutorial is for model railroad videos specifically)</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLx7K7Hyu2o&feature=channel_page" id="video-short-title-iLx7K7Hyu2o" title="How to make a Model Railroad Video" rel="nofollow">How to make a Model Railroad Video using Windows Movie Maker </a></p><p>If you have any more questions, I'd be happy to help. Just send me a PM and I'll try my best to answer your question. Good luck! <br></p>
