Hi, friends! Can you believe the end of the year is already upon us?!? Our last day isn’t until the second week in June, but I know many of you will be finishing up the year soon. Last year, I decided to make an end of the year video that we would watch at our end of the year celebration. I also made a copy of this video in DVD format for each child. It was a huge hit! However, if I am being completely honest, this was the first time I had ever used Windows Live Movie Maker and I had an extremely difficult time figuring out how to convert my movie to a DVD that the kiddos could watch at home. With that being said, I thought a step-by-step guide for creating an end of the year movie would be helpful for all of you!
The images below contain the basic steps for creating a video with Windows Live Movie Maker compatible with Windows 8, 8.1 or 10. For more detailed instructions, watch the video at the end of this post!

Thank you for the video tutorial! I wouldn't have dared to try this without it!
I would like to try and do a video for my kiddos this year. However, I have a few questions. Do you keep track of the number of photos of each kid in the show? Do you use multiple pictures of each kiddo doing the same thing? I am worried that each child may not have the same amount of photos!
Thanks,
Ashley
This is incredibly helpful and well explained, Ashley! This will help me make my own product videos for my store. Thank you!
I would like to watch the converting to the dvd video. Have you posted it?
I have never put a cover on the CD I am totally going to do that this year!
Have you posted how to convert this movie to a dvd yet? I am at that point and can not figure it out. Thanks!
Have you made it into DVD yet??
