Welcome to How-To Central

Welcome to the How-To Central section of www.SimpleVideoEditing.com.

If you are new to video editing, it is best to follow the tutorials one at at a time in the order they are listed on the right panel of this page. If you are familiar with video editing, just click on any of the specific tutorial directly.

The video editing software we recommend is Windows Movie Maker. It’s very stable, easy to learn, and it’s free. In fact, it comes pre-installed in your Windows XP or Vista PC. Watch a quick overview of Windows Movie Maker below. You’ll see how easy, and fun it is to create home movies today.



Hope that whets your appetite for more. Time to get started creating your own home movies. Total beginner? No problem. That’s where we all start. Simply go down the list of tutorials on the right panel of this page.

You are about to embark on an amazing journey. And in the process you will create video stories of your life, your family, your anything, that will be treasured for many years to come. Like the video I made below. It captures a moment in time that would otherwise be forgotten and lost forever, like the video below of how a girl learns to keep quiet about her winnings.

After you’ve mastered the basics, don’t stop there. Visit the blog section for tips, shortcuts, new gear reviews and connect with the community.

Better still, sign up for our monthly enewsletter so you will be alerted of new posts on the blog. Don’t worry, we don’t share, sell, slip-out, let anyone else take a peek at your email address. We like to keep you all to ourselves.

    I Like WMM. It even helps me to convert my PowerPoint presentation to video after I save PPT to pictures.

    I have Mircrosoft Movie maker with my Gateway computer. I also have a new JVC model 360 HDD that apparently coverts to m-2 format…is this going to be a problem? and will this be covered in your tutorial?
    This is my first attempt so a novice is an understatement. Apparently prolems can arise from the windows movie maker and by adapting RegCure it should be corrected…will this also be covered in your tutorial?
    This first movie is going to be a memorial tribute about myself…not in the need of it at this time but want to prepare a last memory for my children and grandchildren.
    Any or all answers would be appreciated as i plan on odereing your tutorial as soon as I have all the 8mm, VCR, and present HDD material ready. I need someone looking over my shoulder and telling me with “my right hand” to do this and so forth. Thank You again.

    I seem to be having difficulty finding how to convert my flip video HDPLUS videos to edit in my windows media. The flipvideo software is wonderful to simply download, view and send “as is” but I want to edit. Is there a basic procedure to follow to get my flipvideos into my windows media?
