MovieMaker is DRM-free, includes free updates and you'll never have to worry about losing a serial number (because there aren't any!).

With MovieMaker for Mac OS X you can quickly turn 1000s of captured images into a speedy video that you can review or share - with just a couple clicks.

And a lot more.ĭo you have a "nanny cam" or outdoor security camera that captures pictures when it senses motion? Managing and reviewing those pictures can be time-consuming and error-prone. Take all of your photos from that recent vacation or just all of your pictures from this past year and quickly turn them into a movie filled with memories that you can share with friends. You have nothing to lose if you want to give the free demo version of MovieMaker a try, but its deeper options are too fiddly and its function too limited to really recommend. MovieMaker sells itself as a way to show holiday pics, easily display security footage, or show a nanny cam, but I see no real use case for any of these unless you REALLY need to share the images with someone, at which point this does offer a small file size. A folder can be set to show images as a slide show, and the video does not provide enough options to expand on this. The thing is, I am not sure what this program is really for. There are also a host of more technical options allowing that let you select the format of movie you want and the codec it will be rendered in. You can select how many frames you want the video to last, how long individual images will be displayed, and the resolution for before you render the video for play. MovieMaker does have some handy features before you render the final movie. Indeed, I found it easier to reorder / re-tag images in the original folder rather than trying to edit once in MovieMaker. Unfortunately, the complexity of this actively discourages you from experimenting. There are some complicated controls to help manage this if you want to make some changes to the default movie (a splash screen filled with hot-key commands is on hand to help with this).
