Accepting request from mami Lisa, I make Windows Movie maker tutorial. Hope it help. And this taken from 2 website :
gather.com and Nikon.bungie.org. Why I took tutorial from others website? Because my transition and effect pallet is gone. I dont know why it happen. So I cant print screen it.

First most people doesnt realized that they already have Windows Movie Maker (WMM)

Do you already have Windows Movie Maker on your computer?

1. Click on the green ‘Start’ button at the lower left hand corner of your screen
2. Click on the ‘My Computer’ icon
3. Click on ‘C: drive’ to open up those contents
4. Click on the ‘Program Files’ folder. If you see the ‘Movie Maker’ folder, then you have this program installed.

You can also perform a search for this program by following these steps:

1. Click on the green ‘Start’ button at the lower left hand corner of your screen
2. Click on the ‘Search’ icon (a magnifying glass)
3. Click on ‘All files and folders’
4. Type in ‘windows movie maker’ in the box below ‘All or part of the file name’
5. Leave all the default search settings then click the ’search’ button. If the ‘Windows Movie Maker’ file comes up in your search results, then you have this program installed

I don’t have Windows Movie Maker on my computer, now what?

First of all you’ll need to make sure that your computer meets the requirements so you’ll be able to download and use Windows Movie Maker. Don’t let this list scare you away though because it’s basically just the Windows XP requirement that you need to look for.

• Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, Media Center or XP Professional
• A 600 MHz processor
• 128 MB of RAM
• 2 GB of free hard disk space
• An audio capture device (to capture audio from external sources)
• A DV or analog video capture device (to capture video from external sources)
• An Internet connection (to save and send a movie to the Web or to send a movie as an attachment in an e-mail message)

For optimal performance, the following system requirements are recommended

• A 1.5 GHz processor
• 256 MB of RAM

If you want to play back a movie, you’ll need the following software

• Microsoft Windows 98 or later or Windows NT® 4.0 or later
• Software that can play Windows Media Video (WMV) files, such as Microsoft Windows Media Player 7.0 or later (Windows Media Player 9 Series is recommended to optimize movie playback)

My computer meets the requirements, now what?

Great! You can download this very easily and for free by clicking here: http://www.download.com/Windows-Movie-Maker, then clicking on the blue “download now” button.

Once you’ve downloaded Windows Movie Maker to your computer, just follow the instructions for installation and you’ll be ready to start making your Movies!

Section I: The Main Screen

This is the layout from WMM. The author put letter for explanation

A) Capture Video
This section of the program allows you to get everything you want so you can edit, including pictures, music, and of course video.

-Capture from video device- This is the first button you click if you’re recording from a capture card or other capturing device you may have. That process will be explained later.

-Import video- This is used for browsing through your computer for video files that you would like to use to edit. By default, you start in your “My Videos” folder.

-Import pictures- This is used for browsing for pictures that you like to insert into your movie. By default, you start in your “My Pictures” folder.

-Import audio or music- This is used for browsing for audio files in your computer - whether they be songs or otherwise that you would like to use. By default, you start in your “My Music” folder.

B) Edit Movie
This section allows you to add titles, effects, and transitions to your movie and individual clips. I won’t go effects and transitions, but later I’ll show you how to do titles.

C) Finish Movie
In this area, you can render your movie with ease. That’ll be covered later.

D) Collections
Here is your main area. It’s kind of like a databank, where all of your imported files appear. This is also where your captured video appears when you finish capturing. Often times, video files that are in this area automatically cut themselves up into clips. I’ll explain how to solve this later on.

Audio and picture files, however, stay intact, and can be easily moved into place.

E) The Video Screen
This screen is where you get a preview of your edited video so far. Down in the lower left are the basic Play, Pause, Stop, and Frame Forward/Backward buttons. The Frame buttons allow you to advance or back a single frame in the video.

Maybe in Indonesia not familiar with Video Blog. Like what I said in http://www.uang.persusi.org/2007/07/03/what-is-videoblog/

But how about making “Audio Music Video(AMV)” or with some people call as “Tribute”? I was post one of my AMV at http://www.uang.persusi.org/2007/05/12/video-audio-music-video-beautifful-mele-gekiranger/

I cant find exact definition of AMV at google nor wikipedia. So I’ll try to explain it with my knowledge.

AMV mean video which made by fan using cutting video or photos collection and it combine with another song (Related or not with the video/photo).

Still confused? Umh.. I try to give example.

This is My AMV “Vincent Character” From “Smile Pasta” film using “Earthquake Song” from O2jam

Already watch it? The source film is taken from These video

http://layartancap.com/search?q=vincent&searchmode=Video

Thats what I call AMV or Tribute ^^

Or U want to make Photo slide show? (This is combination between Video and photo)

Maybe you wondering why I write some kind like this. lol This is because I want to introduce how FUN making AUDIO MUSIC VIDEO

Its very rare Indonesian people want to make AMV. For example, I can find easily AMV at youtube. But at layartancap or indowebster, I almost cant find AMV.

Why we make AMV?

We can learn new design program such as Adobe Premiere or Adobe After Effect (Any body can give me tutorial Adobe After Effect?)

For me myself I use Windows Movie Maker SP 2 for capturing part film from VCD and Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5 Pro to mix with the song

What can I get from making AMV?

1. FUN. wahaha Maybe for some people I’m weird like to created AMV. But it really fun to make Ur own story.. make Ur desired atmosphere at some video esp if the caharcter is your idol. lol

2. Learn to make new program. For your Information my first AMV made at Sept 06. When I made that, I also open the premiere tutorial. Its funny when I remember that. I made it until 2 AM-Midnight. I use http://ikc.cbn.net.id/umum/heryzal-premiere.php for my tutorial. Trust me its best tutorial for adobe premiere and it on Indonesian language.

3. I can get message from my Idol and contact them. ^^ Can you imagine, I have some idol from many country. And when I made their tribute, They response it. My Vincent Tribute got 10 rating after the video appear at his blog. Adam Cheng Watch my Chu Liu Xiang tribute, Alv Band really appreciate my work. And thats like a honour for me. ^^

4. Find new friends who has similar hobbies. Its fun when some one commenting Ur hard work and accept critics to improve for next AMV.

If you interesting to created AMV, let me know. If you get any trouble, just let me know too. I’ll try to help you

TRUST ME YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT! Wahaahahah

You can upload your AMV or Tribute at http://layartancap.com (Local hosting) or http://indowebster.com/ (I lost ALL my uploaded video when they reset their database) or http://youtube.com (I get banned 1 May 07 when they said my AMV is copyright infringements. So I dont use this site anymore. Its so unfair removed my AMV and many illegal content still there)

If you already have account, pls let me know. My pleasure to see and commenting your video ^^

INDONESIAN PEOPLE, LETS MAKE AMV !!! LOL
