Latest Version of Movie Maker


Hello guys... This time I brought you a very very special and interesting news. Microsoft has released the latest version of movie maker!!! It was released on 19th July, 2015. Actually I thought to write this article because even I didn't know that my computer already has this awesome application until one of my friend, who works in Microsoft, tells me about it.

I know how much you loved movie maker if you were a Windows XP user. Then you should use a computer before 2010 (actually I used Windows XP until 2014). I loved Windows Movie Maker so much because each and every video creating, editing and some presentations also were done using it when I had a big PC. Then I bought a new laptop and started to use Windows 8.1 but no Movie Maker. So sad... I know there are so many video editing softwares such as Adobe Premiere Pro, Lightworks, OpenShot, etc. which provide better features than Movie Maker. But they are for real industrial video editors. You need good practice to use those heavyweight softwares. The best video editing software for users like me is Windows Movie Maker indeed because it's lightweight application gives a better user experience.

Ok... Lets talk about the Movie Maker latest version. Actually its name is not Windows Movie Maker now. It's Photos. Yeah... It's the build in application comes with Windows 10. That's the application you generally use to view a photo in Windows 10. If you search in google for movie maker latest version, you will get so many applications that try to appear like windows movie maker. But don't trust them. I tried to find an alternative for windows movie maker for 4 years and found nothing but now I have Photos application.


Just go to your start menu and search for 'Photos' and open that application. Did you know that you can use it as well as Windows Movie Maker, you loved in your childhood. Microsoft Photos application gives us a better user experience and a lot more features than Windows Movie Maker. I have listed down what you can do with Microsoft Photos application.
  • Browsing Photos - There are three different interfaces that you can browse photos in your computer. And you can create photo albums also using this. It can identify people in your photos and it will tag and create another view just like a collection of albums of each person.
  • View Photos - You can view photos and edit photos also by color balancing, drawing something on it, cropping, rotating, adding filters, etc.
  • Create Videos - You can create videos by combining your photos just like in windows movie maker. You can add sounds, musics and many transmission effects very easily.
  • View Videos - You can play videos and edit them by trimming, drawing something on your videos, etc. You can add these videos to create a new video also.
  • Add 3D effects - There are build in 3D effects that you can add to your photos and videos. You will spend few minutes playing with these amazing 3D effects for sure. 
  • Animated Texts - You can add animated text on your photos and videos. These effects can be added on to videos also created by you combining your photos
