The software is intended for amateur use, with its user friendly interface and easy to use options. Windows Live Movie Maker isn't at all a high-end professional video editing software, it's a simple tool to get quick jobs done fast. This is the second major release of Windows Live Movie Maker, the first launching in August of last year. In 2006, Movie Maker was rebranded as part of the Windows Live family, dubbed Windows Live Movie Maker. Windows Live Movie Maker was first introduced on Windows ME and later again on Windows XP as Windows Movie Maker. This user friendly application is an easy way to put together a quick video with a few special effects.
