Factually True
I've Got It
When I recently got the idea for my channel, I started researching video editing software to figure out which one I would use. Because most of my work is illustrating and narrating, I only need the video editor to combine my illustrations and audio tracks with some music, and I use a low performance laptop, so I knew I would be fine with something that would be
a) free
b) simple to use
c) light
Having made some videos with it when I was a lot younger, I immediately thought of the good old Windows Movie Maker. I remembered that it was intuitive to use even for a kid and even though it didn't have that many fancy features, I thought it would suit my requirements just fine. I didn't have it pre-installed on my laptop, so I went ahead and downloaded the latest version from Microsoft's website.
What the *************************** have they done to my dear Movie Maker?!
I mean they removed the TIMELINE!!! Why???
How is this new version an improvement to the one I had on my LimeWire-virus-ridden HP a freaking decade ago? The interface is thoroughly confusing and it just...doesn't...make...any...sense... Am I missing something here?
Needless to say that piece of garbage flew straight to the bin where it belongs. I ended up getting the VSDC Free Video Editor, which I have been very happy with but I still wonder what have the wise people at Microsoft been thinking when they decided to ruin a perfectly good beginner level video editor.
Rant over.
The point of this was just to let out some steam and find out whether anyone who has recently tried Movie Maker shares my sentiments or if I'm just getting old
