Today Microsoft released their newest version of Windows Live Movie Maker. This version allows for greater editing of videos including standard definition (4:3) videos and high definition (16:9) video support. Windows Live Movie Maker allows for direct upload to both YouTube and Facebook (though plug-ins). Users are also able to burn straight to DVD, play video on high definition (HD) televisions and save in a variety of standard and high definition resolutions - 480i, 720i, 720p and 1080p. Auto Movie allows users to easily create a video automatically in under one minute using selected images, captions, a title and soundtrack to go along with the slides.

The new Movie Maker comes with dozens of polished features over previous versions. Live Movie Maker introduces a smarter storyboard, allowing faster and easier editing than before; audio editing within the storyboard is also available. Detailed animations are included for adjusting videos and images with a range of filters and transitions.
