Microsoft is finally making a Windows Movie Maker replacement!

[MoonlightSylv]

Finally, Microsoft has decided to create a replacement to Windows Movie maker. If you somehow don't know what Windows Movie maker is, it's a basic video editing software made by Microsoft for Windows XP-Windows 7. Earlier this year it was discontinued and it looks like Microsoft finally has a replacement.

Story Remix works in the cloud by collating images and video you use from any device. That means there will be a Story Remix app for iOS, Android, and Windows so you can grab content from multiple devices and work on your video. It’s similar to Apple’s new Clips app, but a lot more customizable and powerful. If you start a story on an iPhone, you can resume its creation on a Windows 10 PC and vice versa. Microsoft is also combining its work with Remix 3D and Paint 3D into Story Remix, allowing Windows users to import 3D models into movies. You can even pin objects into scenes, much like how Snapchat's new augmented reality lenses work and things like ink will follow people around in videos. Soundtracks can also be added from Microsoft's Groove music service. Microsoft is really aiming this at families and a younger audience who want to quickly create videos with a soundtrack and some neat effects. Microsoft is planning to deliver its impressive Story Remix app with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update later this year.

 

While I don't think will be a replacement for Resolve, Premiere, or any other professional video editing program, I think this is going to be good for the target audience and maybe for simple videos that don't need much editing (like adding music).

Why do I have the feeling that they are going to mess this up somehow?

Because it's Microsoft.

 

Hopefully they don't though.

that's cold

Wooo, more anime music videos with ugly blue title cards

[Misanthrope]

Yay!

 

Then:

- Windows 10 exclusive

- Live 365 Subscription required

- You have to turn on all disabled spying metadata collecting for....reasons

- Kaby lake 7700k or Ryzen 1700 required. No not recommended, we'll disable the thing if the processor isn't that or better...cause reasons...

 

Not so yay anymore.

Yep pretty much my guess on how they will mess this up.

I remember the one in Vista lets you save in HD and the others don't?

I don't know.. if you think they'll make a Adobe Premiere, then "they'll mess this up" in your eyes.

If you think they will make a basic, "everyone can use" video editor, then they'll be able to deliver.

Sure you can! 240p is HD compared to 144p, so what's the problem?

I hope they make something actually comparable to iMovie.

Vista does have a HD version of it.

[Sauron]

Or you could use blender, which is free and better. The only downside is that it's not intuitive.

I... actually I wouldn't be surprised by any of that

Here it is:

As expected, a basic video editor for family editing.

You have the basic stuff, but you do have a cool feature, 3D model you can inserted, and they are auto-tracked by the scene moving.

It will have the ability to add music and sync the music and video with the beat.

See my notes from the Build 2017.

they will, they always screw up with a new thing they add to windows, it's become the norm for them

their biggest mistakes are: windows ME, vista and 8

look at how they were received. 8 had to have a update to fix a lot of its flaws, vista was never used to it's high hardware requirements and ME was just s**t at launch crashing when it had the chance

I bet its going to be UWP only, full of bloat like 2-300mb files size, but no actual features, aaaand it sucks.

It is just a new feature in the Photos app of Windows 10.

If that's the case, then I'll just pay $50 every month for Adobe Premiere or learn DaVinci Resolve or stick to Final Cut Pro X on the Mac.

I was hoping they'll make something to compete with Premiere Pro. If they'll do that and bundle it with an Office 365 subscription, I'm in.

This makes it sound like all the work is done via the cloud no? I really hope not cause that would be dumb af considering peoples upload speed.
