With this article we will take a look at creating, editing, and formatting a video to upload on YouTube. The application we will be using is Windows Live Movie Maker (WLMM) which is the new video creation application that will replace Windows Movie Maker which currently is available in XP and Vista. Windows 7 is streamlining the entire OS and Movie Maker will not be included by default. It will be included as part of the Windows Live Suite which includes messenger and mail applications.
在本文中，我们将介绍如何创建，编辑和格式化要上传到YouTube的视频。 我们将使用的应用程序是Windows Live Movie Maker(WLMM)，它是新的视频创建应用程序，它将替代XP和Vista中当前可用的Windows Movie Maker 。 Windows 7正在简化整个操作系统，默认情况下将不包括Movie Maker 。 它将作为Windows Live Suite的一部分包含在内，该Windows Live Suite包括Messenger和Mail应用程序。
First go to the Windows Live Page and choose what programs you wish to install. If you already have some of the applications installed they will be updated.
首先转到Windows Live Page，然后选择要安装的程序。 如果您已经安装了某些应用程序，则将对其进行更新。
One thing to watch while your installing or updating Windows Live applications is to make sure and uncheck options you do not want changed.

For this example I am taking the familiar clip of President Bush getting shoes thrown at him in Iraq and adding music to the piece. Of course here is where your own creativity comes in. You can take family photos, video, different music, etc … and make a video. First simply drag the video clip into the left panel, then select Add in the Soundtrack section and choose an MP3.
在本例中，我以布什总统熟悉的片段为例，将鞋子扔向伊拉克，并在片段中添加音乐。 当然，您可以在这里发挥自己的创造力。您可以拍摄全家福，视频，不同的音乐等……并制作视频。 首先，只需将视频剪辑拖动到左侧面板中，然后在“音轨”部分中选择“添加”，然后选择一个MP3。
You can trim sections of the video from the beginning or from the end. Under the Edit tab choose Trim from the Video menu then simply drag the slider to cut out or add what you want.
您可以从开头或结尾修剪视频的各个部分。 在“编辑”选项卡下，从“视频”菜单中选择“修剪”，然后只需拖动滑块即可剪切或添加所需内容。

其他编辑工具包括添加效果以及图片和视频片段之间的过渡。
By default WLMM will save your project in .wlmp format, however you can choose to convert your project to .WMV in different resolutions.
默认情况下，WLMM将您的项目保存为.wlmp格式，但是您可以选择以不同的分辨率将项目转换为.WMV。
From WLMM you can upload the video to Soapbox on MSN Video or upload it directly to YouTube by installing a plug-in. Just download and install the plug-in following the Setup Wizard.
在WLMM中，您可以将视频上传到MSN Video上的Soapbox，也可以通过安装插件将其直接上传到YouTube。 只需按照安装向导下载并安装插件。

结论：
Right now Windows Live Movie Maker is in Beta and personally I would like to see more of the options available in the traditional version of Movie Maker. Currently WLMM will allow quick and easy edits to basic video projects, but if you’re looking for more features and editing tools stick with Movie Maker or other video creation products.
目前，Windows Live Movie Maker处于Beta版，我个人希望看到传统版本的Movie Maker中提供的更多选项。 当前，WLMM允许对基本视频项目进行快速轻松的编辑，但是如果您正在寻找更多功能和编辑工具，请使用Movie Maker或其他视频创作产品。
