=Windows Movie Maker (Free)=

In reading some reviews of Windows Movie Maker, I noticed that several of them commented on its ease of use and its intuitiveness. I thought I would put these contentions to the test by just opening the program without looking at any tutorials. After experimenting with the software for about 90 minutes, I can safely agree with those sentiments! Windows Movie Maker was VERY easy to use. In that time, I uploaded video I had taken that day with a non-HD flip video camera, cut it up into segments, pasted the segments together, learned how to add effects, transitions, and subtitle overlays, learned how to upload non-video files like JPEGS, and finally how to publish the finished product. All of this without once consulting the 'Help' menu or an online tutorial. This is not a self-congratulatory testament to my technological prowess, but an indicator that if I could do all that in such a short amount of time, the program is truly intuitive from start to finish.
