What is Windows Movie Maker?

Windows Movie Maker is a video creating/editing software tool, included in Microsoft Windows. It contains fantastic features such as effects, transitions, titles/credits, audio track, timeline narration, and Auto Movie.

It is also a basic audio track editing program. It can apply basic effects to audio tracks such as fade in or fade out. The audio tracks can then be exported in the form of a sound file instead of a video file.
