Windows Movie Maker is a [[Windows]] video-editing program created by Bill Gates to fill up space and to remove Reversi. It is often used by poopers both new and experienced to make [[YouTube Poop]] videos. There are several websites dedicated to figuring out HOW and WHY it glitches so much, and though people think it is because of using non-Microsoft video formats such as AVI and MPG, 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 However in Windows 7, WMM has been replaced by a successor video-editing program that isn't as good for [[Youtube Poop]]ing; so people tend to change to [[Sony Vegas]] or [[Adobe Premiere]] or just stay with the XP/Vista versions.

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]].
  
On the other hand, some people feel a certain amount of nostalgia for the program, flawed as it is. Some still remain attached to the program even though alternatives are available, and if taken to its limit some truly memorable poops can be made. 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.
