Cons:

Limited transition effects for slideshow movie making

Weak photo and slideshow video editing functions

Slow while editing videos

Too little supported input formats

Freeze a lot while importing video

Takes long time to encode video

Big final movie size for short slideshow video

 

In my opinion, Windows Movie Maker is a good program for beginners of slideshow movie making and it's free slideshow movie making software. However, there is drawbacks, too. First, supported input and output formats are not enough so that compatibility is not so good. You may need another video converter to turn home movie created with this slideshow movie making software to the desired format. Second, its transition effects are far away from plenty. As you know, to make wonderful home movie, transition effect play an important role. You need stunning effects to attract audience while slideshow movie making.

 

To be concluded, Windows Movie Maker is very suitable for movie making beginners and if you seldom make home movie. But if you want to create professional and more customizable home movie, Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder is a better slideshow movie making software, with easy-to-use tabbed step buttons. It comes with more stunning transition and Ken-Burns effects, as well as more choices to output and share your final movie making productions in universal Disc and video formats.
