Doing a nice lyric video for your favorite songs is a great way to be creative. You can upload it right away to your YouTube channel to collect a vast number of accumulating views. I used to do lyric videos, especially if I wanted to impress the girl that I was courting, using their pictures, song and lyrics to put in my slideshow. Windows Movie Maker is a great tool, and suitable for any beginners who want to start a simple video production without having any skills. So let's get started.

    You are going to export your project into a video file. By doing this, go to your file tab and look for "Publish movie" or "Save movie". Publishing your movie means publishing it to any web-based storage or video hosting sites like YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo and SkyDrive. Saving your video is easy because you will be saving it to your computer device, and you can choose the settings or resolutions that you prefer.

• Fit your time duration to your music. Click the "Project" tab and hit the "Fit to music" icon. This will automatically stretch your time frame.
• Use Bebas font. Bebas font is a great font for a text-based video presentation, because it looks decent and is still cool.
• Save your work from time to time. When working, get in the good habit of saving your work frequently, because your computer might crash at any time and you don't want to risk losing all your hard work.

Trying to create a lyrics video using Windows movie maker?

Hi, I'm new to this and this is actually my first video and the first time using Windows movie maker

You can do this. You have to import the video and then lodge the video clips into your timeline. Look through the task pane and then find "edit movie". From there, you will find an option named "make titles or credits". You then need to select "add title on the selected clip on the timeline". Further, you need to go to "more options" and then select "subtitle". From there, you can edit the text.

I am new to this and this is one of my requirements for my masters degree can you give me an advice how to create a very good presentation?

In iMovie, you can click the plus icon in the "Project Library" to create a new project. You can name it and click "Create". Click "iMovie" > "Preferences" > "General". Enable "Show Advanced Tools". Close the window. Now, add music by clicking the note icon in the lower-right corner (drag it to the timeline). You can insert images too by clicking the camera button (double-click images to change their duration in the timeline). You can drag video clips as well. Play the song until each lines starts and pause it each time. Right-click the spots and choose "Add Comment Marker". You will know where to put new lyrics lines. Click the "T" icon in the lower-right corner to add lyrics. Drag a title style to the image to one of the marked spot. Type your lyrics in the preview window.

I cannot download WMM because of some suspicious activity on my account, have any Intel for me?

I know I don't have any hackers near me at all on my system PC. And my Microsoft account's been wonky even around the store. I own a windows 10 laptop and the download was completely successful! I don't want to make a new account to screw up my PC and I really want WMM! I need help and I don't want to pay ANYTHING! PLEASE!. I have tried: Downloading it, using the primary account and it doesn't like it!. I think it was caused by: I honestly have no idea what happened.
