Windows Movie Maker

Windows Movie Maker is a movie editing app developed by Microsoft. It was firstly introduced with Windows ME Build 2452 as the beta version of the Windows Movie Maker 1.0, the fully completed version of Windows Movie Maker is released in 14 September 2000. The first version of Windows Movie Maker was highly criticized for being absolute barebones of a non-linear video editor, mountains of missing features and only saving movies in Microsoft's ASF file format.

With Windows XP, version 1.1 was released.

In Windows Longhorn, an Avalon-based version of Windows Movie Maker was included but it was later removed due to the development reset.

The WPF version of Windows Movie Maker was retained in Windows Vista.
