Windows Movie Maker, a myth among men and an application you can't even get anymore. It came free with Windows XP, Windows Vista and got discontinued somewhere around Windows 7. I used to edit absolute dog gaming montages on this thing when I was a kid, so I knew I had some serious nostalgia clouding my judgement. So, I re-downloaded it. Sure, it took like 10 tries off some back alley websites since Microsoft doesn't let you get it on their official website anymore. I had to bite the bullet and realize this shit was complete trash. Just like, absolutely terrible. Just cutting and getting the clips the way you want it is a pain in the ass. There's no layers and the least they could have done is at least move where you want an image to be on the screen, but no. It has that weird color change thing though. That's pretty nice. This shit is bad.
