The MovieMator work area was made easy and handy to quickly import videos/audios/images and edit them to fancy home movies. This section guides you how to quickly start your workflow and explains what the function of every button are. This is what it looks like.

The latest imported files will be listed in “Recent” tab and you can even quickly find out your target files by searching their name.

MovieMator supports unlimited tracks so that you can add as many tracks as you want to edit large projects. With the timeline panel, you can easily edit videos and make home movies in a few minutes.
