Stop using movie maker, belive me, it's the slowest way possible how to edit animations.

Q: Where do you input music/sound? A: there's a large music note labelled "add music" - if you have any of the newer versions of window, click input then add sound Q: Microsoft is greedy and wont let me have movie maker anymore! :( A: tbh I just kept a very old version movie maker, but there are other alternative free editing softwares out there to try out! (OpenShot, Hitfilm, iMovie, Lightworks. Just to name a few!) this is a tutorial about using FireAlpaca as an animating program, I just used an old version of windows moviemaker because it was the more free option. Don't be afraid to use other editing programs if movie maker does not work for you. (if there's any more questions don't be afraid to ask)

[@howdoyouclick]

davinci resolve is a good one if you get the hang of it

[@FletcherYPng]

@David Miller what version of windows do you have? if the music note doesn't work, try ( file - insert )

[@sourpops4419]

@@FletcherYPng I think they're asking if we can put music in firealpaca so we can do accurate timing or something,, is there a way to do that?

[@Gargleslapnut]

@@FletcherYPng I have a windows 10, and the animations I save from firealpaca are mdp files. It won't let me get windows mm, hitflim, or openshot. I have flimforth, however It won't let me get my files on there. What other editing apps can I install?

Hello! The thing I’m lost on with animation in FireAlpaca is shading in every frame. Do you have any tips for making the shading consistent? Great video! I subscribed!

Uh, I have a question.. How do you make the body steady still, but the hands or the face are moving? Like 0:17 where the hands are moving but the body is still. Pls I rlly wanna know :

Try drawing a layer with just the body, then copy that layer multiple times. Then you can add the animations for the other body parts

[@insanityangel4652]

Microsoft does not offer the Windows Movie Maker program and that does not seem to be the actual Microsoft website. You might want to make sure you do not have any malware or viruses. The new program that can be used that window has is under photos. Just save the animation as a gif so that you can import it into the photo program.

[@FletcherYPng]

nah this is a legit version windows movie maker but a super old version of windows that I never really bothered to update.

[@insanityangel4652]

@@FletcherYPng got it. I was just very concerned because when you look it up on google. Microsoft has an announcement thing that said "Windows Movie Maker, part of Windows Essentials 2012, is no longer available for download. Websites that offer free downloads of Movie Maker are not offering the real thing, and those downloads may contain malware, viruses, or hidden cost". Maybe they forgot about it being up

Yes I did! But if movie maker cannot work with you there’s always other free video making softwares out there

[@sagemorningstar9830]

I have a question, how would you add music or your own sound? can animation meme be done this way?

[@FletcherYPng]

Yep animation memes can be done this way- many people who have done animation memes does this method. As for adding music, there should be an add music button - its as simple as that

how did you get movie maker on windows 10?
