Windows Movie Maker is the easy to use software from Microsoft which helps one to easily edit and create own movies. YouTube is the most popular site on the web for sharing videos one's with others.

Steps

  1. Make your movie using 'Windows Movie Maker', which comes as a free component of many computers. Save your file. This will put the movie in the MSWMM format which Movie Maker can read, but which YouTube cannot read.
  2. Open your saved file.
  3. Go to the file menu and click Save Movie File, or press Control and P.

  6. Enter a name for your file, and choose to store it in an easy-to-find place such as My Videos
  7. Click Next.
  8. Select the setting you want. Best quality for playback on my computer may be the recommended setting, but YouTube doesn't take .wmv. Instead, go to the More settings option and set it to DV-AVI (NTSC), which will turn your file into a .avi.
  9. Go on YouTube.
  10. Make sure you have an account and click Upload.
  11. Fill in the forms.
