[edit] Movie Maker's good and bad points

[edit] Pros

  • It's free
  • Relatively easy to use compared to other editors

[edit] Cons

  • It crashes quite often, sometimes forcing you to start over!
  • Pretty bad video quality
  • Can't save huge movies you've edited

So basically, Movie Maker is good for you to get started with making films, but if you're going to get serious with making low-budget feature films, then you might want to buy a commercial program, which naturally yields better results.
