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 Card #76, recognizing its foundational importance in Youtube Poop.

  • Needs the patience of a saint since it is VERY crash prone.

  • 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. 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.

  • Windows only (anyone using a Macintosh will get the somewhat more capable iMovie instead)

Known WMM poopers[edit]

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[edit]

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.
