Windows MovieMaker
« on: January 05, 2020, 08:22:10 PM »
Does anyone use it? If so, can you tell me if it's possible to delete a poor audio track and then record a narration track to go along with the video?

Free software suggestion that will do that and more: http://www.videosoftdev.com/free-video-editor
I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!

Hmmm ...

I downloaded that and tried it back in April of 2019. They say the interface is "simple and intuitive," but they lie. I found it to be obtuse and confusing, and I couldn't get it un-installed fast enough. PC Magazine only rates it as "Fair." Not a good recommendation.

Life is tough for old dogs like me, who don't find this stuff to be easy.

Do you have any apple devices? Like an iPhone, iPad or Mac computer?

No.

I have a Windows (7, soon to be 10) computer, and I have Windows MovieMaker 2.6, 6.0, and 2012.

I found it fairly easy but I'm a geek. For truly Free, it rocks for me. I understand though if that isn't your thing.

I should create a signature line: "Not a geek."

Thanks to the wonders of Youtube, I have learned that it is possible to do what I wanted to do using MovieMaker 2012. It's not even all that difficult, once you learn the secret incantations.
