Windows Movie Maker on Vista
I was cleaning out my hard drive last night and while I was browsing I ran across Movie Maker. Movie Maker has been in Windows for a long time and I always forget about it because there's not a link in the Start Menu. If you want to open the application on your Vista machine, open C:\Program Files\Movie Maker\MOVIEMK.exe and you have a pretty cool application at your finger tips. I played with it once in XP, but never made a movie with it. Well, last night I'm sitting in my hotel room here in Natick, Mass. and decided it would be fun to see how hard it really is to make a movie with Movie Maker. Since I have a few hundred Blogcasts on my hard drive along with some old MMS pictures, it dawned on me that it would be cool to piece them together (not all of them 
) to music. After playing with the controls for a few minutes, I realized how easy it is to make existing videos into a new movie. Some of the Blogcasts were fun to watch again as it's been a few years since I made them. I forget how much I have done until I watched the final video and I realized that I still love to make them. Maybe I will make some more of these if people like them. I may be wrong, but these are probably some of the few technical videos I have seen blended with music. Enjoy!
Both videos are the same, just with a different song.
