Windows Movie Maker (WMM) is a video editing software extremely easy to use and quite a wealth of features (at least in the Vista version). It is within reach of all the concepts of production and assembly.
Portable Movie Maker is a reassembled by a fan of the software, DevRexster, who regretted not to have this great product on Windows 7. Indeed, Microsoft has abandoned in favor of WMM Live Movie Maker software, a tool in beta much less complete.
Portable Movie Maker is an adaptation of the Vista version enriched with many things: the program has indeed 147 transition effects and 76 special effects.
It can also be placed on a USB drive and run directly from it (although this is not recommended).
In addition it also works well under Vista than under Windows XP or even Windows 7!

- Unpack the ZIP file if available on disk in a folder named PWM you place either available on the desktop or on a disc easily accessible.
- Using the Explorer (My Computer in XP, Computer in Vista/Windows 7), open the folder where you unpacked the archive.
- Locate the icon RunOnce (or RUNONCE.EXE according to the preferences of your system). Double-click it. This operation should be performed only once per machine. Under Vista and Windows 7, RunOnce must run with elevated: click the right mouse button and select Run as administrator.
