I am sorry to say this but Movie Maker was one of my favourite programs when editing videos and creating slideshow dvds

I am not a fan of the newer streamlined and simple approach to the new movie maker it falls far short of what I want and need from the program.

This program is the single reason why I may delay an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7, Vista out of the box contains most of the tools I need and use and the rest can quickly be downloaded from the internet Messenger etc., I love the full featured and ease of use the old Movie Maker Provides, (Adding sounds within the timeline, transitions, A timeline) and I more or less got what I desired from the product, Now the newer Movie Maker feels more like an overly simplified program with very little real world applications outside of simple Blog Posting and Youtube posts, A product that was a true evolution of the previous Movie Maker Would have been appreciated (A program which provided many features which ) I am surprised that a company with many high quality pet projects in photography and media could produce a program so underpowered and basic.

I will have to agree with JAMD456. Movie maker is NOT ready for prime time. Its not even ready for beta, nor alpha. It's still a rought draft on paper or whiteboard in my eyes.

Whats worng with time line view? When you EDIT and MAKE (move MAKEr) a movie, you need to see the time so you can edit it CORRECTLY.

I think you should just bring back time line view, even if it's a secondary view mode that can be aimed at "advanced users"

The ribbon UI is fine, just bring back all the great stuff, but enhance it a little.

I agree with all the comments - the product as is will not and I mean NOT be used by the millions of current Movie Maker fans. This is sooooo dissapointing - I had hoped that Movie Maker would go from strength to strength - but alas, looks like it's not going to be.

What was everybody thinking? That this is a REALLY good idea? Sorry people, but, if it's released in its current form, then this is the end of Movie Maker - especially since one now has to download it (It's not included with Windows).

A really really wrong turn has been taken - realize it before it's too late.

All the best to you and know that with Windows 7, Microsoft has "nailed" it - it Rocks. This Movie Maker does not.
