$ 10 HD Movie Maker Pro Tutorial, Video Editor. Replaces Windows Movie Maker!!

Sorry for the intro sound, my neighbor was mowing the lawn!

Do you know if you can ADD SLOW MOTION to a clip? I see there's a slow motion option on the home screen, but I don't see how to take a clip and edit it to be in slow motion. You know if you want to add a dramatic effect?

[@danieltredo1578]

I purchased HD Movie Maker Pro but after it downloaded onto my Windows 10 laptop, I can't find it anywhere! So I can't start it up. Oh my goodness how frustrating this is. I spent all morning looking for it. How do you start it??

[@metrogroovefm]

@@danieltredo1578 Click on the magnifying/search glass in the lower left hand corner of your screen and then type out HD Movie Maker Pro and see if it comes up in your list of results under the "Apps" listing.

Old retired guy here. I have been needing a video editor for putting drone photos and videos together, but was a bit intimidated with just getting started. A LOT of "bells and whistles" packed into Movie Maker Pro. Thank you so much for a very informative and well done tutorial. Everything was to the point and really well explained. I am looking forward to your videos on the many features!

[@peppytechie]

So glad my videos could help. This is an easy to use video maker, which allows you to make videos without too many bells and whistles, but allows you to get the job done. You can also use the companies tutorials (which you may find a familiar voice and style)

[@professordogcatcher7270]

This has got to be one of the best online video tutorials I have ever watched....on ANY subject. Your presentation skills (both vocally and visually) were right on point. I downloaded this video production software yesterday. Whereas a lot of it is intuitive, there are no manuals. Because of your tutorial, I had created a test video in a matter of minutes. I have subscribed and will keep an eye out for any further tips you can offer on this. Many thanks!

[@mallorymccall75]

Hi Peppy Techie. We use Windows 10 Home Edition. We are new users of HD Movie Maker Pro and have created one "movie" with it after frustratingly creating 14 previously using the old Windows Movie Maker. That product frequently would not follow our instructions. We had not watched your excellent tutorial beforehand and things would have been more fully featured and easier if we had not used the new software cold turkey. Now we know better. However, we were plagued by a significant problem which the tutorial did not cover. Our eight-minute project consisted of a series of individual photos to be synched to a soundtrack of our own music and dialog. The individual photos had transitions and were timed for this synch, and as we progressed from the start onward we would play what we had so far to see that the synch was correct. Every time we did this the synch was different, sometimes off by as much as 10 seconds! That is, except when we played the project from the beginning. In that case, the synch was the same as it had been the last time we had played from the beginning, but not for the new photos that had been added since the last check. We spent quite a few frustrating days trying to fix it, to no avail. We finally ran out of patience and posted the "movie" as-is on KZbin yesterday. Is this problem a characteristic of the program or is there a way not to have it happen? HELP, if you can and have the time. If you want to check our results, our channel is mallory & mccall. And thank you once again for your expertise.

[@peppytechie]

Hi, which of your videos did you edit with HD Movie maker? Ill have to look at sound but I think syncing music when editing may be something you can ask and inform the developers. Were you running one song, or different music pieces?

[@peppytechie]

Also, after doing some editing with HD Movie Maker, it is hard to see music and timeline match with this product. One of the ways I have done it, is by saving clips as movies with the edit in recordings, then editing it back in.

[@fnkycoldmedina]

nice tutorial .i just got the pro version . too bad there isnt any title animations like in the old movie maker .

[@peppytechie]

I agree, they do have some animations, but none like the old version.

[@melissastclairlv]

That was so awesome! Thank you so much for the tutorial. It was very insightful. I was wondering how you add the effects with the subscribe and like buttons and the sound effect like the ding when the subscribe comes up.

[@peppytechie]

Hi Melissa, I get most of my sound effects from Google. There are instructions on Google support: support.google.com/youtube/answer/3376882?hl=en that show you how to get to their free music and sound effects. Download everything you want to use. Also you can download the subscribe buttons from many sites on line. Just search for Free Subscribe buttons. I use LumaFusion on my Ipad to create most of my graphics, as HD Movie maker is very basic and if you want to get more creative you will need to use a bit more advanced software, (many are free as well). HD movie maker is very basic. I love it for making quick videos, but if you are getting more advanced, check out my video on kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5-cqJ57lLCsgqM. Also now free in Windows 11 is ClipChamp and it also easy. I don't pay for any of it, I use only the free stuff. But it is also an option. I hope all this helps. Good luck!

[@SachKhojAcademy]

What's that "TIME SCALE" option do when adding text overlay, please reply. Thanks in advance.

[@peppytechie]

Time scale is normally a amount of delayed time before the text or image, comes into the cideo

[@alanvanallen7762]

Thanks,very good tutorial,is there a way to transition between clips,unless I've missed it somewhere

[@peppytechie]

Yes, you can add transitions in the main screen or you can use the more (three dots, to add them), also on the bottom is settings and you can make a default for all the photos. Around 5:49.

[@alanvanallen7762]

hi @ Peppy Techie first of all thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial, it really helps me a lot, i only have 1 question, is it possible to add more music or effects at the same time? for example on your video you already added a music background, is there any other way you can add again like a effects like dog barking people cheering etc at the same time... on the existing music background you already added? hope you can help me out thanks in advance more power and god bless... stay healthy and safe

[@peppytechie]

Hi Sison, At this time you can only add 1 track of music and one track of voice narration. A tip: use your phone to record the sound effect: then place the speaker of your phone near your microphone and Poof, you added a sound effect. These inexpensive video editors usually only offer one track of both.

[@peppytechie]

So happy you like the video. If you are done working on the videos and you have saved them then yes you can delete all files that were created in making the video.

Well, if you are talking about selecting things on the timeline for duplication, no there is no option. You could however take the videos you created and save and re add to video.

hey, just wondering. Is this software really did well? is it worth the price? i dunno why everyone in other video review this software as a garbage. Thank you!

[@peppytechie]

When asked if something is worth the price, my answer is what are you looking for in a video editor. If you want something simple and easy to use, with nice features, then this is a great little package for the price. Right now for Black Friday the price is 8.99 and to my knowledge, there are no video editing programs that provide you the features that HD Movie Maker does for the price. If you are looking for advanced features, lots of audio and video tracks, then you may be disappointed depending on your needs. Then again, you will pay more for a higher end video editor. You can try the free version, which is the same package and allows you to use most of the regular features. You will find the free version as Windows 10 Movie Maker. You can try it before you buy, which is really nice for you. If you do get the HD version it unlocks the quick tools which provide some nice features. I hope this provides you with some information to make your decision. :-) 😀

Hi Commandoslayer, yes it is a ine time payment! Forever all updates included!

@@peppytechie Thank you!

[@andrewprotopapas9391]

Thanks for this video! One thing I noticed in the older versions of Movie Maker is that you can determine the duration of the transitions. Is that no longer an option with HD Movie Maker Pro?

[@peppytechie]

I did check and there is no place to change duration of the transitions. I will mention this to the creators, and hopefully it may be something they will add in a future update. Thank you!

[@karencwaldron]

Great tutorial. Had some trouble editing sound clips so I will see if you have more on that!

[@peppytechie]

Working on it!

Hi Preppy Techie, Love watching your great videos! There's one problem I can't solve ... I'm finally having to give up Windows Movie Maker due to failure to export a completed video (ugh), and that is, making the duration of a photo less than 1 second. In Windows Movie Maker I was able to create a flashing video effect by repeating two still shots 5 times each. Each frame lasted .2 seconds, creating a flashing effect that lasted about three seconds. Any suggestions for a workaround in HP Movie Maker?

Hi, there! Great video. Question: when you add a fade in transition to a video, can you preview it, or you just did not in this video? Also, is zoom, pan, or stability an option on editing video? Thanks!

[@peppytechie]

Yes, absolutely. Best place to preview is in the More button, and when you look at transitions you will see them displayed here as a preview.

thank you for a wonderful video!

You are very welcome!!! Thanks for watching!

Geesh, I obviously didn't do enough homework searching for editing software, I just spent a bundle for Filmora9 :( and this can do just about the same things Filmora can do....uuugh! Great video btw, really like your channel. Cheers from Canada eh??:)

Thank you so much SimtasicGrl! You can download the free version and play with it. It has some shortfalls, but for free or $10 bucks it's gets the job done for many video creators! Thank you and I hope you subscribed! I can use all the help I can get!!!

[@Loves2Game6360]

@@peppytechie I do Sims 4 Speed builds on my channel so I really need the ability to speed up my videos as the older version of Windows Movie Maker provided, thats why I also bought Wondershare Filmora 9:) and yes, I did subscribe, I know where you're coming from when you said you need all the help you can get...lol Cheers...:)

Hi Peppy... love your videos. Question: I am trying to add multiple titles at the beginning of my video to give my video a movie feel. However, when title #1 moves to title #2, my background color goes from black to white at about 3 seconds (the duration I set was 5 seconds). So there isn't a seamless transition from title to title. Also, how do you change the transition time? On the old Movie Maker program you would simply click on the transition icon and change the transition duration there. Thanks.

[@peppytechie]

One of the ways to do this is to make the title slide as long as you need it, look in the top right for the time. Then look on the slider on the bottom. You can make one slide with multiple sets of text, each that would be on screen for a short period. For example, set the entire slide to 60 seconds, then add text, go to the slider on the bottom and add an start and end point. Add more text, rinse and repeat. I hope this helps. Let me know! Peppy!

[@darylmichael7]

​@@peppytechie Thank you for your reply and I am sorry to responding late. Here's what found; it might be a program flaw. If you have, say, 4 back-to-back titles; each with of duration of 6 or 7 seconds, black background (white lettering), the background color turns white at about 2 or 3 seconds. When I changed the title background color to white (black lettering) or any other color (as long as it is not too dark) the transition is seamless. Weird. So I experimented using dark/navy blue. It transition pretty well but the background color would slightly brighten as it transitions to the next title. That never happened with the free Movie Maker. In short, I figured out a workaround. Here's a slide transition test I did. You'll be able to see what I am talking about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqmyhJh7m9eDhq8

Hey peppy love your tutorials on this how do you make it fade towards the end of the video

[@peppytechie]

Usually I put in a blank title page, black, then use the fade effect. I hope this helps.

Why don’t certain videos show up when I’m trying to add a new one to my film?? This has been bothering me for months now

[@peppytechie]

Not sure? It will transcode most videos to work if you have the paid version.

[@lauras9329]

Thank you for this tutorial! but, is there a way to add more than one piece of music at a time or adjust the volume of the music you've added without adjusting the volume of the entire clip?

[@peppytechie]

I have made a tutorial on the soundtracks as well, which I hope you are able to take time to watch. There is only one track at this time for audio, and if you select a section of a song with the little round circles, you can use effects to change the volume of just that selection. Let me know if this works for you!

Yeah, please make a video on how you fix HD movie maker and HD movie maker Pro I have both and all of a sudden both started glitching freezing and I cannot find how to resolve the issue and it's wasted a ton of time and effort really not happy with this app...... really not happy after paying for HD movie maker Pro and not being able to use it now.....

[@peppytechie]

Really, Ill play with it, but I had no problems last week. Hmmmm have you contacted their customer support, they are usually very helpful
