  1. Why did Microsoft discontinue Movie Maker?


    Previously I had successfully produced numerous videos with Movie Maker. With Clipchamp there is no way to automatically select multiple photos. You have to hold your finger on the shift key, and then select each photo separately. Opening a project is Very Slow, message relates "buffering." Also I can see no option to add my own music to the video. We need Movie Maker reinstated.

    :)
