Movie maker History
Summarised History, (Not Complete) Initial versions History, 1 - 6
There is a bit of overlap, and as often with Microsoft Version Histories, there is confusion and disagreement. The following is the best average I have so far. The (date stamps) are my best average so far and are intended as an approximate time line
(2000) - Version 1.0 https://i.postimg.cc/8csCfWf2/Movie-Maker-Version-1.jpg
The first release of Windows Movie Maker was included with Windows Me on September 14, 2000 (ME build 2416 https://betawiki.net/wiki/Windows_Me_build_2416 ) . Windows 2000 did not have it, but it could be copied** successfully to it. (** see xxxxxxx )
(2001) - Version 1.1 https://i.postimg.cc/NMdM0bF8/Movie-...ersion-1-1.jpg
Version 1.1 was included in Windows XP a year later, 25 October 2001 as part of Windows XP, and included support for creating DV AVI and WMV 8 files.
(2002) - Version 2.0 ( Sometimes regarded as XP version ) https://i.postimg.cc/2886gsHH/Movie-Maker-version-2.jpg
Version 2.0 was released as a free update to 1.1, in November 2002, and added a number of new features. It went some way to answering critic on the first version, and often the Classic/Start of Movie Maker around close to XP start time is regarded as the 2.1 era. –
(2004) - Version 2.1 ( Windows XP Service Pack 2 ) https://i.postimg.cc/L4V5C9VY/Movie-...ersion-2-1.jpg
Version 2.1, a minor update, is included in, so coming from installing, Windows XP Service Pack 2
(2001-2006 overlap) ( Windows Vista development time from before XP in 2001 to final release of Vista in 2006 )
The overlap and confusion may have resulted from the design teams being drunk in between times: Microsoft originally expected to ship Vista sometime late in 2003 as a minor step between Windows XP (codenamed "Whistler") and the next planned major release of Windows, code-named "Blackcomb". Vista's original codename, "Longhorn", was an allusion to this plan, a sort of inbetween idea: While Whistler and Blackcomb are large ski resorts in British Columbia, Longhorn is the name of a bar between the two mountains that Whistler's visitors pass to reach Blackcomb.
2004
A Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) version of Windows Movie Maker was also included in some development builds of Vista (at the time codenamed "Longhorn"), but was removed in the development reset in August 2004. ( After the development reset, the interface for the WPF-based Windows Movie Maker was retained in Windows Vista later)
(2005) - Version 2.5 https://i.postimg.cc/NjK0j1vm/Version-2-5.jpg , https://i.postimg.cc/3JSRhtV3/Versio...ransitions.jpg
The Movie Maker in Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 had more transitions and support for DVD burning.
(2006) - Version 6.0 ( 2.7 )
The next main version is Windows Movie Maker 6.0 which had both a 64-bit version and GPU rendering of effects and transitions. It was released as part of Windows Vista, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqzeFYWjTxI&t=17s (Vista started in 2006), and – like most Windows components – reported version number 6.0.6000, same as Windows Vista itself.
So that was an introduction, going up to around the Vista time. Up to this time Movie Maker was generally a version bundled into an operating system, (although as mentioned, it could often be easily added too operating system’s not having a particular version)
From windows 7, it was mostly something to download.
We have approximately got to the point at this stage , typical in Microsoft, an intermediate period stage, where things got newer and in many user’s opinions, worse.
But, as mentioned, in the case of Movie Maker, things are a bit blurred. Not criticising necessarily, just saying. If you keep your wits about you , then you can pick out good stuff from around this period
Attempt to order into Windows Versions
The following 3 posts order Movie Maker approximately into the three main Windows versions which officially supported Movie Maker
XP era
Vista era
Windows 7 + era
