In the Movie Maker beta, the storyboard didn’t have the ability to represent time like a traditional timeline would. So, thanks for bearing with us as we’ve continued our work on Movie Maker. We wanted to release the beta to start the conversation about the use of the ribbon and some of the overall changes to the software model, but in hindsight, the application just wasn’t useful enough for that. People were surprised (or shocked, rather!) at the limited number of transitions, effects, and overall functionality in the program. These blocks of text from a WLMM team blog post best encapsulat WLMM at this time: We also learned a lot by releasing an early beta of Movie Maker last year. Windows Live Photo Gallery and Mail are mostly improvements on top of older applications. Windows Live Movie Maker is still tagged beta because it is the only Live application being rewritten from scratch, and thus needed more time in the oven. PLEASE give us back Vista's excellent movie maker. It was as if I was clicking on things and issueing commands and they were going somewhere else, as if into a gale-force wind, only to be blown back into my face as the WMM Beta team secretly snickers at my frustration. Regardless of how many times I trimmed a clip and selected "save" it NEVER applied the trimming. I took one of my video clips and tried to use the trim function. No timeline, no DV capture, no support for Media Center TV files (video seems to play w/o any audio), and NO EDITING. I would say this is the absolute worst iteration of movie maker I've ever seen. "New and improved." Maybe everything on the list other than Movie Maker improved, but MM certainly has gotten worse. Ned Pyle - MS Enterprise Platforms Support - Beta Team
