Windows Movie Maker is the program that started it all. Windows Movie Maker is a [[Windows]] video-editing program created by Microsoft. It is often the first editor people may use to create [[YouTube Poop]] videos, but other users have stuck to it as a preference. It got discontinued on January 10, 2017, and later,  Microsoft announced Story Remix and released it in fall 2017. This was featured alongside [[Vegas Pro]], [[Adobe Premiere]] and [[Final Cut]] on the thumbnail of [[Youchew Trading Cards|Youchew Trading Card]] #76, recognizing its foundational importance in [[Youtube Poop]].

A program created by Bill Gates just to fill up space, as an excuse to remove Reversi. There are several websites dedicated to figuring out HOW and WHY it glitches so much, and many people think it is because of using non-Microsoft video formats such as AVI and MPG but some argue that the codecs play a part of the crashing. However in Windows 7, WMM has been replaced by a successor video-editing program that isn't as good for [[Youtube Poop]]ing; so people have changed to [[Sony Vegas]] or [[Adobe Premiere]], but at least there hopefully won't be many crashes anymore...

On the other hand, some people find a certain amount of nostalgia for the program, flawed as it is. The ''[[Windows]] Vista'' version contains major updates and is much more competent than the more-commonly-used XP version, even though it still lacks reverse.

*Video reversing is extreme hard to do requiring cutting up clips to the smallest and puttting them backwards, compared to a single button of the other programs. This ''did'', however, start the stutter reverse.

*No unlimited video or audio tracks.
*No unlimited video or audio tracks. Only one is available at a time, so if a pooper wants to add another audio track, they must render the video and ''then'' add it to the finished file. Video overlaying is impossible, although there are custom chromakey transitions you can download from the [http://web.archive.org/web/20180224033952/http://thefxarchive.com FX Archive].

*No audio effects in storyboard, Audicity has to be used in this case.
*No audio effects in storyboard, Audacity has to be used in this case; although you can change the volume, mute, and fade in or out the audio.

*No audio in frame-by-frame.
*No audio in frame-by-frame. This makes it hard to find precisely what you're looking for.
 
*Windows Movie Maker never gave you the ability to specify the frames per second or audio kbps before rendering.
 
*Lack of developer support as of 2011.
 
*Windows only (anyone using a [[Macintosh]] will get the somewhat more capable [[iMovie]] instead)
 
==Difference Between Movie Makers==
 
===Windows ME (1.1)===
 
[[File:WMM1.1.png|right|thumb|300px|Movie Maker 1.1]]
 
*The first Windows Movie Maker ever released
 
*No effects, not even [[Speed Up/Slow Down]]
 
*You can't really do anything except for [[Stutter Loop]] and [[Maybe|maybe]] [[Sentence Mixing]].
 
*Doesn't work on modern operating systems.
 
  
===Windows XP (2.1)===
+
=Known WMM poopers=
*The most widely-used Movie Maker
 
*The first version to use effects
 
*The best version for [[Speed Up/Slow Down]] <!--with pitch shifting-->
 
*Video capture function
 
**Can capture analog video sources (i.e. VHS, Betamax, etc.)
 
**Version 2.6 removes the video capture function.
 
*No reverse option (although you can reverse manually, see Disadvantages)
 
*Crashes a lot
 
*The [[FX Archive|FX archive]] is the #1 place for extra effects
 
*Works on Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10
 
  
===Windows Vista (6.0)===
+
While many use WMM then move to somewhere else including [[SuperYoshi]], there are the few that stick to it and can rival many poopers who use the other programs. As they sometimes say, the [[Penis|pen]] is mightier than the [[sword]] (which is an expert WMM user versus  a beginner Vegas user), but it would have to be quite a [[Magic Drugs|blunt]] [[sword]].
*More effects than the XP version
 
*Cleaned up interface
 
*[[Speed Up/Slow Down]] doesn't pitch-shift anymore
 
*Lack of volume control (you can only turn the volume down)
 
*Works on Windows 7 and 10
 
 
 
===Windows 7 (Windows Live Movie Maker)===
 
[[Image:bookaboovegaswmm.png|right|thumb|400px|Windows Live Movie Maker in action]]
 
*Completely abandons the timeline for a confusing ribbon based interface (Though some may find this preferable)
 
*Slowing down and speeding up clips results in the clip being pitch-shifted again (Though you can't do this to audio files)
 
*Still no reverse effect like in XP/Vista, but not a big deal.
 
*Very low effect support.
 
*Some effects are the same as Windows Movie Maker 6.0's effects.
 
*More speeding up/slowing down options.
 
 
 
===Windows 8 (Windows Live Movie Maker)===
 
*Still no reverse effect.
 
*Allows you to set FPS, Audio format and bit rate as a custom setting when exporting.
 
*Audio waves now appear on sound and video clips, which can help when placing things.
 
*Some effects are the same as Windows Movie Maker 6.0.
 
 
 
==Known WMM poopers==
 
 
 
While many use WMM then move to a different program (including [[SuperYoshi]]), there are the few that stick to it and can rival many poopers who use the other programs. In fact, some still use WMM even ''when'' they have something better like Sony Vegas.

==Fan support==
 
 
Despite the developers not making it priority to make the software error-free, many enthusiasts have made plugins and tutorials to maximize the performance of Windows Movie Maker.
