  15. Moviemaker Instructions Step 1: Open Windows Movie Maker. You will see the step by step guides in the wizard. The first thing we will do is change the view to ‘timeline’.

  16. Step 2: • To import your .avi video into Moviemaker, click the ‘Import Video’ link under Capture Video.

  17. Ctrl click if you need to select several videos. If you import several different videos they will be placed in ‘collections’. • To view a list of collections, click the ‘collections’ button and the task menu will change to the collections menu.

  18. Please note that long videos will be divided into several smaller files. Click each video that you wish to use and drag them, in order, to the timeline. • You may like to enlarge the view of the timeline so you can see more details.

  19. Step 3: • Under ‘Edit Movie’, you may choose to add a transition or effect to your video. Perhaps a transition between scenes, or adding a title page. If not, you can move straight on to adding your sound.

  20. Step 4. • Moviemaker has only one audio track. Choose to add music, or narration to your movie. • If you wish to import some music, go back to step one of the task menu, and import music, as you did your video. • If you would like to add character voices or narration to your story, click the microphone symbol above the timeline.

  21. Ensure you test your microphone settings to ensure everything is working and your sound balance is correct. • When you are ready to proceed, click the ‘Start Narration’ button. Watch the preview on the right as you record your commentary.

  22. You may need to do this several times until you are happy with the result. If you wish to start again, click the audio line on the timeline and delete.
